3) The Quick Steps Menu :
This is a very convenient new feature. It consists of a menu, neatly placed on the ribbon, just above your Inbox. The menu is customizable and allows you to automatically accomplish multiple actions in a single click, such as creating email messages to specified people and/or groups, filing a message or categorizing a message etc. It also allows you to associate performing those actions with keystrokes (hot key).
