Send Email in Outlook without Using Mouse!!!

To send an email without ever taking your hands off of the keyboard, follow these simple steps:

1.Use Alt+Tab to switch to Outlook.
2.If you’re looking at anything other than one of your mail folders (like your Calendar or Contacts), hit Ctrl+Shift+M to open a new mail message, otherwise just hit Ctrl+N.
3.You should now be looking at a blank email, with your cursor placed in the To: field. Type the recipients name (and if Outlook is connected to Microsoft Exchange Server and you’re emailing somebody in your organization, you can type their name and hit Ctrl+K, which will verify their address for you).
4.Use the TAB key to navigate between the CC:, BCC: and Subject fields, filling in as necessary. 5.Hit TAB to enter the main text area of the email, type the body of your message.
6.Invoke the SpellCheck utility using the F7 key. Use the TAB key to navigate, making changes as needed.
7.Once you’re ready to send, hit Ctrl+Enter.
8.Bask in the knowledge that you’ve just sent an email and your mouse is getting dusty!
Pretty simple, right? This process is a little weird at first (especially if you want to attach files, etc. - use Alt+I, F to do that), but once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it!
