The subject and body of the received email is the sender's, but you can change the subject line or add body notes for important emails to make them easier to find on Microsoft Outlook .
Have you ever forwarded an email yourself or created a new task instead of subscribing to an email just to add a note to it? Maybe you've ever put an email into OneNote or Evernote so you could write a little bit around it, or you've silently blamed the sender for not adding relevant topics. One way or another, received emails sometimes become more useful if you can edit the subject or add notes to them. In fact, you don't need to go through complicated processes or resort to third-party software because right in Microsoft Outlook , you can fix it.
