How to make an Appointment from and Email in Outlook

Source: [Inside Microsoft]

One great feature in Gmail is that if someone mentions a date and time in an email, you get a link to create a Google Calendar appointment based on that email. Outlook doesn’t have anything as smart as that, but it does have a quick way to create appointments from emails, one I wish I had known before. Just drag the email from your inbox to the sidebar calendar, dropping it on the date for your appointment.

The new appointment will be created, with the subject of the email becoming the subject of the appointment, and the full text of the email going in the comment area. You have the email for reference when creating the rest of the details for your appointment. It’s convenient and quick, and the best way to get it done.
