I know that you can add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar but I actually like to have some additional commands shown on the Home or Message tab of Outlook instead.

For instance, I would like to add the Spelling & Grammar button to the main Messages tab (visible when composing a message) and the Print button to the Home tab of the Outlook window itself.

How can I do this?

How can I easily sync these changes?

I’m a real “keyboard junkie” and am quite familiar with the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Outlook itself.

Sometimes I use the web based version of Outlook and often forget that it isn’t the Desktop version but was pleasantly surprised that some of the keyboard shortcuts still work.

Is there a list of available keyboard shortcuts for Outlook on the Web?

I’m using Outlook.com without an @outlook.com address but an address from my own domain. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to configure that account in Outlook.

I also have an @gmail.com address connected to my Outlook.com account but that fails too.

I can configure it manually as an IMAP account but not as an Exchange account which I need to sync my Contacts and Calendar as well.

I’m currently using Outlook with a POP3 account but I’d like to switch over to an Outlook.com account.

I’ve set Outlook.com to download all the new mail for my old POP3 account (actually, I’ve set my old account to forward to Outlook.com as this appears to be faster) and configured my Outlook.com account in Outlook. This all works great and as expected.

How do I migrate all the mails which I had already downloaded via POP3 into an Outlook pst-file to my Outlook.com mailbox?

When I try to add my Outlook.com account to Outlook via the Auto Account Setup wizard, I get several additional password prompts and finally the following error:

An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available.
Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection.

That process eventually also fails and I'm asked to verify my email address (which is correct) or set it up manually.

How do I do that and can't Outlook really configure itself with Outlook.com?
