@Fergus: The takeaway is that Outlook 2010 UI is optimized to provide a great user experience, and although some less frequently used options can now be accessed from a different location, you can customize it to make it even better than before! :)

So I take from this that Outlook 2010 by default takes 2x as many clicks as previous versions.

That's progress I guess... :-)

Barry,

Yes, it is possible to script this making it possible to get to the headers with a single click. Here's a blog post I wrote a few days ago that shows how to do this.

The down arrow under Tags in the Message tab brings up the Message properties. This works both for new and received messages. I don't know if it's the same for everyone but the Message Tab is what's selected by default whenever I open a message so it's right there.

If you put your mouse over it, you even get a little window with Message Options in it!

I usually just click on the little downward pointing arrow in the Tags group on the Message ribbon.

This also opens Message Options.

@Bharat - I am using Outlook 2010 for a while now. When I started with it, things were not so easy coz the shift from Outlook 2003 to 2007 was pretty easy and a lotta stuff changed with Outlook 2010. Say, I wanna access my OOF, change themes, customizing etc etc... but at this point when I got used to it, I am so much in love with the product.. cant think of going back... :-)

You guys have done a great job with the product and this tip sure is useful. :-)

Thanks,

Ratish Nair

There are a lot of things we like Outlook 2010 for. Removing this shortcut wasn't one of them. :)

This does make it a single click - thank you!
