How to Manage your Outlook Mailbox Effectively 
There are many benefits of using email over paper, phone, and face-to-face communications such sending messages whenever you wish. You do not have to wait for the people you need to talk with to be in their offices. Other users can send email messages to you, even if you do not have your email program open. Your messages can be as long as you wish, so you are not limited to the short time typically allowed on some voice mail systems. You can also attach a file (such as a spreadsheet or word processing document) to a message.
Describe some of the issues that can be caused by not properly managing the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox.
What are some ways to organize messages and clean up or reduce the size of one’s Outlook® mailbox?
TEYLOR’S POST: 
 One of the most effective ways to organize your messages would be by creating certain folders for your important mail. Creating folders and using the quick step tools allow us to reduce our mailbox size. Also responding to mail that takes us seconds to reply helps with this as well. If we do not correctly manage our mailbox important mail could be overlooked and ignored.

Digital literacy becomes very important when you are trying to start your career. Digital literacy means having the knowledge to work and learn how to communicate through the internet. In most careers you use web browsers, email, PowerPoints and have to create and edit things and that is digital literacy.
