Make Your Outlook Inbox Easier to Browse with Better Line Separators


Outlook 2013 is a better looking program than its predecessors in many ways, but it can be a little hard to distinguish between the messages in your inbox. Luckily, you can add different kinds of line separators right from the settings.

It's a small change, but one that makes your inbox a little easier to scroll through. Hit the link to read more.
