I’ve exported my contacts from Windows Live Mail on my old computer and now I want to import them into Outlook on my new computer.
The file is in csv-format but when I try to import it into Outlook, I'm being prompted to Map Custom Fields but everything is just on a single line.
How can I import my contacts into Outlook?
Upon starting Outlook I receive the following error;
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
I reinstalled Outlook but that did not solve it. How can I recover?
I've scanned my pst-file with scanpst.exe and it displays the following error;
”Internal errors were found in this file. They must be repaired for this file to work correctly.”
I've chosen repair and I get the “Repair Completed” feedback after running it. But when I check my pst-file for errors directly after that, I still get the same error notice.
How can I completely fix my pst-file?
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?
After installing an update for Outlook, I'm encountering some strange issues with Outlook which I think are directly related to the update and not to any other Outlook issue.
How can I uninstall the update again to verify if the issue will indeed be gone then?
I have an Outlook.com account and currently can access my email by using Outlook Mail via my browser.
How do I get my Outlook.com account in Outlook?
I have an Exchange account but I prefer to download everything to a pst-file.
How can I configure Outlook so that not only all new mails arrive in my pst-file, but also all Sent Items, Calendar appointments, Contacts, Drafts, etc... will be stored in it and not in my Exchange mailbox?
Whenever a reminder fires, the Reminders window comes up and Outlook crashes.
I've already tried
starting Outlook with the /cleanreminders switch
and
checked my pst-file for errors with scanpst.exe
but the crash still happens whenever the Reminder window comes up.
What else can I try to fix this?
I’ve been trying out the Clutter feature over the past weeks but I decided that it is not really helpful to me. I already move many of my emails by rules and I can handle the remaining emails that end up in my Inbox folder so needing to check a second folder sometimes is actually more annoying.
I’ve already disabled the Clutter feature and I’ve deleted the Clutter folder in Outlook too but it keeps coming back.
How can I completely get rid of the Clutter folder?
I’ve created quite a few Quick Steps in Outlook 2013 on my Windows 7 computer with various template replies and actions. I now have a new Windows 11 computer with Outlook 365 on it.
How do I copy the Quick Steps from one computer to the other?
