Automatically create new appointments using Auto-create in Outlook

Click and drag to automatically create new objects in Outlook. For example, an email message can be turned into a new appointment on the calendar:

1. Click on a message to select it - the message will appear to be highlighted.
2. Hold down your mouse button and drag the selected message to the Calendar button in the navigation pane on the left side of the Window. When you release the button, a new appointment will appear already including the information from the body of the email message in the subject line and body of the appointment.

Make modifications as necessary, and then click the Save & Close button. The appointment will appear on your calendar!

 

This works with all folders; i.e. auto-create an email based on an appointment on your calendar, or add a detailed task to your list from an email or appointment.
