Basic Navigation

1. Most words you see in Outlook WebApp are links. When in doubt, click and see what it does!
2. Look for the tiny triangles to the right of words. These are menus, and clicking on the triangle will show you a menu of more options.
3. The triangles to the left of folders will show you subfolders. The ones to the left of messages will show you the thread of messages included with that one. When you have a message that has been replied to, there will be a triangle by the names to show or hide the earlier messages.
4. Along the top of the window, below the logo will be “breadcrumbs”. These can change depending on where you are in the program. You can click on the words there to jump back to a previous screen or return to the main mailbox view.

Creating a new Message
