Tough to find a meeting time? Use Microsoft Scheduling Poll
Scheduling polls are a game-changer for coordinating meetings across multiple busy schedules. Start by selecting a range of potential dates and times for your meeting. Then, create a poll using your preferred scheduling tool and share the link with participants. Encourage quick responses to find the most suitable slot. Once everyone has voted, finalize the meeting time that works best for the majority. It’s a simple yet effective way to ensure your meetings are set at a time that’s convenient for all, without the back-and-forth hassle.

Stuck in a BlueM@il rut?
Are you just using one app to check your BlueM@il? Did you know that you can use Outlooks web, desktop, or mobile apps to access your email? There are also other apps and email clients that you can use, but they really don’t work as well with BlueM@il as Outlook. It’s kind of weird to call Apple’s and Android’s email apps a “client”. Seems more like a person than a program. Best not to think about it after this line.
