I’ve imported holidays into my Calendar folder and I’ve also added birthdays and anniversaries to some of my closest contacts so that they’ll be added to my Calendar as well.

While I really like this feature, they do blend in with my regular appointments and meetings a bit too much for my taste.

Is it possible to highlight or color code these events so that they are different from the other Calendar entries?

I’ve configured Outlook with my Outlook.com account and even though my Email and Calendar gets synched just fine, my contacts don’t.

I’ve been trying to sort my mail into groups by Contact so that I can see how much communication I have had with specific people over a course of time.

However, when I set my view to sort and group by the From field, it still creates multiple groups per contact such as:

• First Last
• 'First Last'
• First Last <name@domain.com>
• name@domain.com

And sometimes even various other groups. This is anything but useful to me.

Call me old but I can't seem to keep up anymore with what exactly is meant with Outlook, Outlook.com, Office, Office 365, Microsoft 365 and logging on with Outlook.com or Microsoft Accounts to Windows and Office.

I'm using Microsoft Office Outlook but I'm getting requests from Outlook Express to compact messages. The full prompts read;

"To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes."

Why am I getting these prompts when I use Outlook and not Outlook Express and can I turn them off?

To easily sort out my newsletters from my actual emails, I’ve created an alias for my Outlook.com which is myname-newsletters@outlook.com.

Unfortunately, every now and then I tend to get a lot of spam on this address even though I don’t use it for emailing myself. I can only assume that one of the newsletters I signed up with is selling addresses.

I thought about creating an alias for each newsletter I sign up with but this process is rather cumbersome and the amount of aliases I can create on Outlook.com is limited.

Is there another way to approach this?

When I’m using Outlook in my Internet browser, I don’t see the Bcc and From field. I’ve found how I can enable it when composing a message but as soon as I send this message and start a new one, the fields are hidden again.

How can I always show the Bcc and From fields when using Outlook on the Web?
