What does the term "conversion" mean in Microsoft Outlook?

 

Conversion in Microsoft Outlook refers to the process of changing the format of an email message.

For example, converting an email message from msg format to .pdf format. To store, print, or share email messages in a different format, use this procedure.

Converting to Microsoft Outlook can also mean importing data into Outlook from another email client, such as Apple Mail. To access and use email, contacts, and other information within Outlook, this process requires converting the data from a format used by other email clients to a format that can be read by Outlook. Various tools and techniques can be used for the conversion process depending on the particular needs and requirements of the user.

A non-email object, such as a contact or task, can be converted to an email message by using the conversion feature in Microsoft Outlook. For example, you can easily send contact information to another person by converting it to an email message. Using built-in functions in Outlook, such as the "Forward As" or "Create Item" options, anyone can convert the data. Additionally, third-party tools and plugins can be accessed to offer Outlook with more conversion capabilities.

Microsoft Outlook conversion may also refer to the process of changing the format of an email message to make it more accessible to people with disabilities.

For example, you can convert an HTML email message to plain text so that screen readers and people with visual impairments can read and access the content more easily.

This can be accomplished by using Outlook's built-in accessibility features, such as the "Read as Plain Text" option. To increase email reachability, third-party plugins and tools may also be provided. These tools will add more conversion efficiencies.

The term "conversion" in Microsoft Outlook can also refer to the process of changing the format of calendar items such as events and appointments. One technique is to handle and prioritize tasks differently, for example by turning a calendar appointment into a task. This conversion can be done using built-in features in Outlook such as the "Move to Task" or "Create Item" features. Additionally, third-party plugins and utilities can be accessed to offer more conversion options for calendar items.
