Outlook 2013 is a great email client and it has a lot of features that make it an excellent choice for business users. One of the features that is particularly useful in business is the ability to create separate email lists for different purposes. This can help to keep your messages from getting mixed up and making it difficult to follow a conversation. To create a separate email list in Outlook 2013, you first need to create an account and then open the Accounts dialog box. In the Accounts dialog box, you will see a list of accounts that you have access to. The accounts that you will want to add as separate email lists are: Your company’s primary account Your personal account The accounts for your team members The accounts for your customers You can add any of these accounts as a separate email list by clicking on the Add Account button and then selecting the account that you want to add as a member. After adding the account as a member, you can start sending messages from this new email list.


If you have a long list of emails and you’re having difficulty distinguishing among the individual emails in your list, you can select a grid line style to display between each of the emails. This can improve the visibility of each email in your list.

To change this setting, first make sure the Mail module is active. If not, click the Mail link at the bottom of the Outlook window. Then, click the View tab.

Click View Settings in the Current View section of the View tab.

On the Advanced View Settings dialog box, click Other Settings.

Select an option from the Grid line style drop-down list in the Grid Lines and Group Headings section of the Other Settings dialog box.

NOTE: You can also choose not to separate emails by day by selecting the Show items in Groups check box so there is NO check mark in the box.

Click OK.

Click OK on the Advanced View Settings dialog box to close it.

Your chosen grid line style should display as separators between each email in your list.

Notice that when you select an email, a dotted line displays around the email. That can be another way to distinguish an email from others, as well. If you have the Reading Pane turned off (in the Layout section of the View tab), it does no harm to select an email to call it out in the list.
