1. Using the SharePoint Task Pane
- Open Outlook.

3. Accessing SharePoint Directly Through a Web Browser
- Open a web browser.
- Navigate to your organization's SharePoint site. This will usually be a URL like

4. Using the SharePoint Integration in Outlook (for specific versions)
- Open Outlook.
- Navigate to the "File" tab.
- Select "Open & Export" and then "Open Outlook Data Files."
