Briefly explain Information viewer, Drafts, Search box, Navigation pane?


  1.  Information Viewer.
The Information viewer is where most of the action happens in Outlook. When you are reading email, you look in the Information Viewer to read your message; if you are adding or searching for contacts, you see contact names here. The Information Viewer is also where you can do all sorts of fancy sorting tricks that each module in Outlook lets you perform. Also you can browse calendar data in the Information Viewer.
  2.   Drafts.
Draft will save the message until you finish composing. You don’t have to send every message right way, just save it in Draft and finish it later on.
Draft folder is used for keeping work in progress. If you are sending an e-mail to someone and you don’t have all the information available to finish the e-mail off then you can save it to Drafts. By saving an e-mail to Draft you can come back to it later at your convenience.
  3.  Search box.
Outlook 2007 offers a new search tool, called instant search. Near the top of the Information Viewer pane, in the centre of the screen, you see the instant search box. This box has a little magnifying glass on the right and some text on the left. Click the box and type the 1st few letters of a word that you want to find. Almost immediately, the Information Viewer screen goes blank, and then shows only the items containing the text you entered. When outlook displays the items it found, the magnifying glass is replaced byû. Clear the search result by clicking theû.
  4.     Navigation Pane.
The Navigation Pane, located next to the main window, is made up of 2 areas.
·       An expandable folder list that provides access to your personal Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access folders and any folders you create. The folders are displayed in a hierarchy that you can expand to view the folder contents or collapse to view only the top-level folder. The plus sign icon next to a folder indicates that the folder contains sub folders. To view the sub folders, click the plus sign.
·        A set of buttons that provide one click access to your inbox, calendar, contact, and Task folders and to your organization’s public folders. An options button allows you to set user option, such as calendar or task reminder. A horizontal splitter bar located between the folder list and the buttons allow you to collapse the button into a button tray. When you click any folder or button in the Navigation Pane, it contents are displayed in the outlook Web Access main window.
