Organizing My Outlook Email

     In for our first assignment in my IS101 class, I was instructed to create folders in my email account for unique purposes. For example, I made a folder specifically for IS101 assignments, canvas notifications, etc. To do this, we created rules in the settings tab that allowed me to specify where I want each email to go depends on certain rules. And to be honest, this was the first time I have organized folders and sorted out emails. I always used the inbox and the "All Mail" folder. 

    For Task 8 of A1 and the second discussion, I was required to create a rule of my own and to share it with others. I've posted mine on Canvas, but what I chose to do was create a rule that puts any email from blogger.com into a folder named Blog. I thought it was a good idea since we'd be using this website often. In case anyone wants to use this rule, I do have to note that there is more than one email from blogger.com that sends emails to your inbox. As of now I have found two: noreply-comment@blogger.com and noreply+subscribe@blogger.com. So for the condition where you put who the email is from, put both emails. If I happen to find more emails, I will update this blog fixing it. After completing this assignment, I felt much more knowledgeable on how to organize my emails. I will definitely use this for my personal emails.

My First IS101 Class

    From the jump, Professor Wu gave reinforced the important lesson of getting ahead on tasks. Even before today, he gave me an opportunity to get a head start in IS101. My first impression of him is that he is punctual but fair. He is respectful towards everyone and I believe he wants all of his students to succeed. It's only been my first day, but I've enjoyed Professor Wu's class and I'm excited to learn as much as I can.
