I’ve imported a Calendar from another user into my own Outlook Calendar and noticed that these appointments do not have any Reminders set.
Also, as I’ve moved, I want to adjust the Reminder time for several of my own existing appointments as well.
Is there a way to globally add or modify Reminders to all or a selection of existing Calendar appointments without needing to open and adjust them one-by-one?
I tend to leave my messages open in their own window for various good reasons at that time. However, after a while, it doesn’t make much sense anymore to leave them open and I wish to close them all but not Outlook itself.
Right now, I close them one-by-one which is rather cumbersome or completely restart Outlook as that is sometimes quicker but I feel like that is a bit of overkill.
Can I somehow close all open message windows but leave open similar to the “Close other tabs” in an Internet browser like Internet Explorer and Chrome?
Using Outlook on the Web, when I click on the To button to address an email, I can only see my own contacts and not the internal contacts from my company (Global Address List).
When I switch to the People section, I do see my company’s “Directory” so I know it is there.
How can I switch between my Address Lists when addressing an email and can I also change the defaults Address List as I can do in Outlook?
Whenever I attach a file that is located within my OneDrive folder on my computer, it is being attached as a OneDrive link with a cloud icon and not as an actual file attachment.
This also happens when I select a file via “Browse This PC…” and then select my locally cached OneDrive folder.
How can I configure Outlook so that it always attaches my files as actual attachments and not as a link to the file on OneDrive?
Looking at the folder size of my Calendar, I noticed that it takes up a lot of space. This is very well possible since I often store attachments with my Calendar items or receive Meeting invitations with attachments.
Now I'm looking for a way to locate the largest items and clean up their attachments.
Which method would be most effective?
I often have more than one Outlook window open. For instance: the main Outlook window, the Reminders dialog and some emails.
While I could use ALT+TAB to switch between them, the multitude of other application windows which I have open makes it quite cumbersome and also difficult to quickly select the correct one.
Is there an easy way to switch only between the open Outlook windows and messages?
After composing my email, I changed my signature. When doing that it deleted all the text from the message.
What happened and how can I prevent this from happening again?
I deleted an email by mistake so I went into my Deleted Items folder trying to get it back. There were so many emails in there that it was really hard finding my message back.
Is it possible to sort my Deleted Items folder by when the message was deleted so that my most recently deleted message is always at the top?
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?
With the holidays going on, and the fact that you only receive the Automatic Replies (Out of Office) notices once, I’d like to keep track of who is away when.
As most people tend to write their substitute or an emergency number in the Automatic Reply message as well, I thought storing them into a separate folder (or having them stand out more so I don’t forget to move them) would be a good approach. I can then simply search within that folder
How would I move or color code these Automatic Replies without risking to also move or color code other messages?
