Outlook’s Calendar Reminders feature helps users keep their calendars in order so they don’t miss any crucial appointments or [Outlook Login Issues Troubleshooting](https://gitlab.mpeeo.com:443/harrietpederso/fix-outlook-and-office-365-errors-20251991/-/issues/3) meetings.

Delete it
Corporate-level messages with important news (for example, from the CEO) and messages from your IT department about server downtime should not go into a folder. Messages to a Contact Group that only occasionally contain useful or interesting content, regardless of frequency, should have a rule and a folder. It’s a best practice to have a central repository for your messages, so that you can refer to them after you've "dealt" with them. The Navigation Pane folder list should be reserved for folders you use often.
Which Contact Groups should go to a folder instead of my Inbox?

Daily review: Managing your time and tasks
Learn how to unlock AI-powered presentation creation and boost your productivity. Use your organization’s solution in place of AutoArchive, and as always, follow your corporate policy. If your corporate policy dictates that you have multiple folders for each type of item, follow that policy. Create a SharePoint calendar for group activities that everyone has access to, rather than sharing your calendar.
When to create a Contact Group in Outlook
If you find you're regularly creating meetings with the same group of people, create a group in the Navigation Pane so that you can more easily see people’s free-busy information. These groups can also include rooms, which can make it easier to find an available room to meet in.

The third office file system is the "Perennial file" and I’m not talking about flowers here. These would be your Archive Folders at the bottom of the Navigation (Folder) Pane. They would probably contain contract files, corporate records, tax records, etc. In the days of "paper offices" (pre-computer age), we had 3 filing systems. These still apply to today’s world but have been lost in the flurry of digital organizing.
