Drag and drop attachments between windows

Want to forward an attachment you received without the email or the trouble of saving it and reattaching it? Simply arrange a new mail message alongside the source email then drag and drop the attachment. (You can also drag and drop attachments just about anywhere - like right to your desktop or My Documents.)

Schedule an email to send later (Delay Send)

In the email message that you wish to delay, find and click the Options button.
Under Delivery Options, select the "Do not deliver before" check box, and then click the delivery date and time you want.
Note: Your Outlook needs to be OPEN in order for this to work, so be sure to leave it open if you are sending after or before hours.
