In Microsoft Outlook when you receive an email you can simply drag the email from your inbox over any of the following on the left of your screen to create a new item:
▪ Contact section - this will create a new contact. ▪ Tasks section - this will create a new task ▪ Calendar - this will create a new appointment
You will need to fill in some more details but it will get you started with the record and save you some time.
