What does Journal in Outlook do?

[Karasy]

Hey, anybody there know what that means? I wonder how it is used and if it has a functionality that makes my life easy?

Hello Karasy!

The Journal keeps track of how you utilize your time. It tracks how long you worked on specific email messages, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

Wow, that is cool.. It seems that I can use it for my own sake. But if I don't want to use this feature, how can I turn off?

If you do not have a need for this, go to Tools, Options, Journal and de-select the checked boxes.

Also if you opened this feature for a while and do not need any more, you may want to delete the existing journal. To do this, click on the Journal in Outlook and select "Entry List" view. Click on the first item and press Ctrl+A to select all items, then hit the "Delete" key to delete them.

If you do not have a need for this, go to Tools, Options, Journal and de-select the checked boxes.
