At work we use Outlook but when I’m away from the office, I only have access to my mail via Outlook Web App (OWA). As this is in a browser, I was wondering the following:
Is it possible to create a bookmark, favorite or even a Desktop shortcut to quickly create a new email in OWA?
I need to reinstall Outlook but I cannot find my original installation CD/DVD and/or license keys.
How can I reinstall without needing to buy a new copy again?
I’ve been trying to add my Outlook.com to the Mail app for some time now but, when synchronizing, each time I get the error;
Something went wrong
We’re having a problem connecting to eas.outlook.com.
Contact a support person or your service provider.
Error code: 0x86000c09
Is there anything I can reset to make this work again?
I just installed New Outlook on my computer and wondered where exactly it got installed.
I don’t see it in the Office installation folder (where outlook.exe is as well), nor anywhere else in Program Files. The shortcut doesn’t reveal anything either.
How can I determine where New Outlook is installed and open the installation folder?
I just installed Office 2010 and each time when I start Outlook I get an installer dialog saying;
"Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010"
It finishes this process and then Outlook starts normally but when I restart Outlook, this process starts all over again.
None of the other Office applications trigger this installer dialog; just Outlook.
How can I get Outlook to start without needing to go through this process?
When clicking on the Automatic Replies (Out of Office) button, I get the following error:
Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
I’m pretty sure that the server is available since I can still send and receive emails.
How do I correct this error so I can turn the OOF on and off again via Outlook?
I sometimes see announcements about new features being added or fixes being made to Office 2016. However, I don’t seem to get them.
When I compared my build number of Outlook 2016 to the one of a friend, I saw that his was newer. I chose File-> Update Options-> Update Now and I got the message “You’re up to date!”
How can I force Outlook to install the latest updates?
I’ve just installed Windows 10 on my computer and I’m now about to install Office. It offers to install the 32-bit version but I know there is also a 64-bit version available.
I seem to recall that Microsoft used to recommend to install the 32-bit version, even on a 64-bit version of Windows but that was some years ago.
I’m subscribed to various newsletters and I regularly receive a popup box when trying to open a newsletter that says “Contacting Server for Information” or simply “Contacting:” with a reference to a URL.
It seems to happen more frequently since Pinterest got more popular as the URL is also indicating that it is contacting http://assets.pinterest.com
While it is doing this, I cannot do anything in Outlook for 15-30 seconds or even a minute!
What is this and how can I make it stop?
At work we use Exchange where I have a mailbox and an Archive mailbox.
At work I can see both my mailbox and Archive mailbox in Outlook. As I also have Outlook at home (via Microsoft 365), I configured my work account at home as well. However, at home I can only see my mailbox but not my Archive mailbox.
How can I make my Archive mailbox visible at home as well?
