I'll click okay for now, okay again, and then okay one last time. This is great if I want to quickly identify any emails that come in with very large attachments. I can even choose messages that are a particular size. For example, only items that are read or unread with attachments or no attachments. For example, I could choose to have the text be tech fest and from a certain sender. I'm going to type the word tech fest, and I'm going to search for that in the subject field and message body. Now we're going to choose the condition in which those font properties are going to change. I could also make the size bigger or smaller, or I could change the font face entirely. So I'll change the color to a nice bright red, and I'll change the font to boldface. I need to choose the formatting before I choose the condition. So I'll start by giving it a name, and I'll call it tech fest. Because tech fest is a major project that I'm working on, I'd like to know instantly when something's going on about that in my inbox. I want to take all of my emails that come in with the words tech fest in the subject or body, and turn them red and bold so I can see them clearly. There are some rules that are already in existence, but let's click Add to create a new one. To create a conditional format, select the View ribbon tab, and choose View Settings on the left. We can do this with categories, which I'll talk about in a later video, but I want to show you how to use conditional formatting.

For those people, we can change the color of emails on a conditional basis, for example, any email from a certain sender or containing a certain subject line. Putting messages in a folder may work for some people while others need to see everything in the inbox.

Some of us are visual, some of us are sorters.
