When I right click (Send To/Mail Recipient) on a photo, wishing to send it as an attachment, a small dialogue box would open and there were options to downsize the photo or to send the photo in its original size.
That dialogue box has disappeared and the photo is attached to an email in its original size.
I regularly take calls and make Appointments for my colleague and want to send these in such a way that he can directly add them to his Calendar.
These aren’t Meetings with me so I don’t want to send him a Meeting Request as then they will also show on my own Calendar. I also don’t have direct writing access to his Calendar as he doesn’t like to be “surprised” with new Appointments suddenly showing up in his Calendar.
Is there any way I can send such Appointments by email without crating a whole lot of extra work for me?
I’ve recently switched to a new computer with Outlook 2016 on it. I’ve successfully configured my account and just imported my pst-file from Outlook 2007.
My emails and everything are there but the Address Book was not included.
How do I get my contacts back?
Sometimes I write a short document or letter in Word which I like to be reviewed by someone else first.
While I could send it as an attachment, I’d rather send the contents of the document in the email itself as it often allows for quicker review and replies for the reviewer.
Is there a quick way to achieve this?
I've configured my Outlook.com account in Outlook 2013 as an Exchange Active Sync (EAS) account.
In a previous post you mentioned that unlike Outlook Hotmail Connector accounts, which syncs on a schedule, mail for EAS accounts in Outlook 2013 should arrive almost instantly (Direct Push).
This is indeed the case for a while but when I have Outlook open for a longer period of time, my Outlook.com account stops synching with Outlook and I have to press the Send/Receive button to get my new mail or restart Outlook
How can I prevent Outlook from breaking this sync and continue to collect my email directly from the server as it arrives?
I have access to multiple calendars in Outlook. With the overlay option I'm able to combine them but I cannot seem to print the calendars in this combined state.
How can I print multiple calendars in a single view?
I've added a couple of commands to the Standard Toolbar in the main Outlook windows and now it spans 2 rows. I like it like this.
However, when I exit the "edit mode" for toolbar customization, the Toolbar collapses to a single line again. I've tried to set the option "Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows" but that option is grayed out.
How can I make my customized toolbar show on 2 lines instead of 1?
I know many people start Outlook as the first application directly after they start their computer and close it as the last one when they shutdown.
You might already know that you can automatically start any application at startup by placing a shortcut to this application in the Startup folder in the Start Menu. This is a great way to save you a click and/or to ensure that you do not forget to start Outlook.
However, the problem with this method is that you are putting quite a bit of stress on your computer directly when you login and starting up your computer might actually take a lot longer as a result. Especially if you are also starting some other applications directly at logon, you could render your computer unresponsive for quite some time.

Is there any way to search a PST when the index are not complete?
I have recently migrated to a new computer and the indexing is still crawling gently trough my 1.5Gb PST. However I still need to search!
Is there a way to perform an old fashioned, slow but effective search?
In previous versions of Outlook, I regularly exported some of my Outlook Calendar, Contacts and Mail data to Excel files to work with it from there or imported data into Outlook from Excel. You also have some Import/Export tips which involve Excel.
However, now that I’ve upgraded to Outlook 2016, the option to import from or export to an Excel file is no longer available.
Why has it been taken away and what is the alternative now?
