Search Folder or Conditional Formatting for internal company emails

Search Folder or Conditional Formatting for internal company emails

I’m looking for a way to more easily recognize internal mail, i.e. mail coming from our @company.com domain.

I’ve been successful to do this for several external domains via Conditional Formatting (as described in Highlight mail from a specific domain) but when I try this for our own domain, it doesn’t work.

Is there a way to achieve this either via Conditional Formatting or a Search Folder for our internal mail as well?

Follow Up Flags and Reminders for IMAP accounts

Follow Up Flags and Reminders for IMAP accounts

I'm trying to set a reminder on a message but I only have the option to flag it or to clear the flag. There are no options such as Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week, etc... which I'm supposed to get.

This might have something to do with the fact that I'm using a IMAP account.

Is there still a way to mark my messages for follow up or at least get them to show up as a Task in my To-Do Bar?

Disable Conversation View in Outlook on the Web, OWA or Outlook.com

Disable Conversation View in Outlook on the Web, OWA or Outlook.com

I don’t really like Conversation View and how it groups the emails together as it requires additional clicks to get to a specific message within the conversation.

Also, I couldn’t find back a message which I received last week only to find it back under “Yesterday” under a different “From” name of someone who replied later.

How do I disable Conversation View in OWA?

Changing the business hours and days for a Work Week in the Calendar

Changing the business hours and days for a Work Week in the Calendar

When I look at my calendar, I see 24 hours and a section between 8AM and 5PM in a different color for Monday to Friday. I assume that these are standard business working hours for most people, but they are not for me.

  • Is there a way to change this highlighted section to match my own working hours?
  • Additionally, could I also hide all the other hours?

Search Results can’t be moved or Categorized and Categories column isn’t shown

Search Results can't be moved or Categorized and Categories column isn’t shown

I heavily rely on the Search feature within Outlook to efficiently triage my emails. However, something appears to have been changed to how Search works. For instance;

  • When I move messages from my Search results to a different folder, this isn’t directly reflected in the Search results anymore (when sorted by folder).
  • Mailbox wide searches are always sorted by date instead of by folder.
  • The Categories column isn’t shown even though it is added to the View.
  • Categories are shown when the message is opened in the Reading Pane but I can’t remove them.

How I can I return Outlook’s Search behavior back to the way it was before?
