How to Automate Recurring Tasks and Filing with Quick Steps
- In Mail, navigate to Home
- 2. Next, navigate to the Quick Steps group, within the Quick Steps gallery, and select “Create new” Quick Step.
- 3. Enter a name for your new Quick step in the Name box.
- 1. Under the Actions option, choose the action that you want the Quick Step to do. For any additional actions, select Add Action.
- 2. You also have the option to create a keyboard shortcut: go to the Shortcut key box and select the shortcut you want to assign.
Next, use the following steps:
- 1. Open MFCMAPI.
- 2. Accept any prompts from the application until you see the primary window.
- 3. Click Session and then Logon from the main menu.
- 4. Choose the profile you wish to backup from the Choose Profile dialog box. A window will open that shows all your mailboxes and .pst files used with Outlook. Double-click on the mailbox for which you want to create a Quick Steps backup.
- 5. Expand the Root – Mailbox or Root Container folder in the navigation panel.
- 6. Look for a folder called Top Information Store, IPM_SUBTREE or Top of Outlook Data File and expand it.
- 7. Find the folder called Quick Step Settings and right click on it. From the context menu, choose Export Folder and then As MSG files.
- 8. In the Save Folder Contents to MSG, check both check boxes and then click OK.
- 9. Use the Browse for Folder option to find a location to store your Quick Steps backup. The system will save each Quick Step as a file, so you might want to create a new folder to store your backup.
- Click OK to start exporting your data.
- Close the open windows to shut down MFCMAPI or repeat steps 4 through 10 to backup Quick Steps from other mailboxes.
