I’m using the Outlook app on my mobile device but it doesn’t seem to support the Online Archive as I can’t find it anywhere.
I tried to work around it by using Outlook on the Web in my browser, but that doesn’t show the Online Archive either even though it does show it when I use Outlook on the Web on my Desktop.
How do I access the Online Archive when I’m working on my mobile?
When I try to delete a folder or move a folder, I get:
"Cannot Move The Items. The Folder is Full."
If I try to rename a folder, I get:
"Cannot rename '<new folder name>'. The Folder is Full".
I get this even with folders that have nothing in them.
Permanently deleting (SHIFT+DELETE) doesn't work either and results in the error:
"The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook."
How can I get Outlook back to work again?
For years I’ve been using the same pst-file with Outlook and it now has grown quite big (it currently is 5.6GB).
To speed up Outlook and backup performance, I thought about splitting up my pst-file into multiple files. As data will no longer change in these pst-files, I would no longer have to include them in my daily backups.
Is there any way I could split up my pst-file into yearly archives?
It's one of those things; you're travelling for a while and you're done reading all your emails already.
It's a great time to catch up with some of your RSS feeds but most of them only contain a spoiler and not the full item. As you are offline you cannot read the rest.
Or can you?
In a previous tip, you explained how to create NOT rules. What I’m still missing is how to create a “Do not Download it from the Server” rule.
This was possible when I used Outlook Express and then Windows Live Mail but I can’t find it in Outlook.
I need this rule because I share a POP3 account with different people who all have their own email address. We then used the following rule to get just our own emails:
Where the To or CC line does not contain <my email address>
Do not Download it from the server.
How do I set up this rule in Outlook?
Opening the File Browser dialog to attach a file has now become a 2-click process in Outlook 2016 because of the Recent Items list and the option to also attach files from Web Locations like OneDrive.
Also, on occasion I used the “Insert as Text” option to insert boilerplate text from saved files instead of attaching the file itself. It seems that this option in gone now too.
Is there any way to get back the “Attach File” button that directly opened the File Browser and had the “Insert as Text” option?
I’m not really sure what happened, but this morning, one of my pst-files was missing and for another I got the error;
Errors have been detected in the file <path to pst-file>.
When trying to scan it with the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe), I got the error;
The file <path to pst-file> is not an Outlook data file (.pst).
When trying to start Outlook now, I get the error;
Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened.
What should I do now to start Outlook and to get my data back?
I've been using Outlook.com ever since it was called Hotmail and thus still have my original @hotmail.com address.
However, now that it has been called Outlook.com for quite some time, should I switch my address to an @outlook.com address or should I be worried that my @hotmail.com address eventually will go away?
Can I put my Outlook pst data file in OneDrive, Dropbox or other cloud based storage solution and use it as my active Outlook pst file so my two PCs can both sync and use the same pst file?
When clicking on a hyperlink within an email I get the following error;
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
I am the administrator of this computer. How can I use these deactivated links again as currently links do not open at all?
