    Amazing time savers!! I can’t get enough of your productivity tips, Scott. Thanks so much! Going to implement. I think my fav is the signature. Now I know I can change it. I can already see the time this little tip is going to save me just from a tiny setting adjustment!

    Learned so much, and the presentation was efficient and clear. I had a problem understanding #6--Signatures. I'll re-watch and see if it's clearer next time around. One problem I've run up against is while in the email program, sometimes my mouse resizes the size of the pane and I can't stop it. How can I stop that? Again, great presentation.

    Wow, didn't know about several of these features and really appreciate your video. Multi-signatures is my favorite. Is there a way to add a feature requesting receipt of an e-mail to a person prior to that e-mail being read by them? I have had that happen to me several times from one of my contacts and wondered if there is a setting for that. Thank you!

      While you can't hide your (the senders) address, you can hide others on the email by using the BCC line.
