I want to export only a limited part of my mailbox but it looks like it's only possible to select an entire folder.
How can I set a filter so I can export only messages belonging to a specific category, within a specific time-frame or from specific contacts?
On occasion, I receive emails which are sent to multiple people. To keep the conversation intact, I use the Reply All button to respond. Only afterwards, I realized that I was only a BCC recipient in the original message and thus I now revealed myself to the rest, which the original sender obviously did not want.
As this can be quite embarrassing, not only to me but also to the original sender, is there any way that Outlook can warn me that I was only a BCC recipient for the email?
For all my contacts (“clients” actually in my case), I’ve filled out the Company field on the Contact form. I’ve also made sure that the Company name is included in the contact’s Display Name.
My aim for this was that I could reveal the Company name directly in my message list so I could directly recognize which company the sender is from.
However, although I can add the Company field to my message list, the field remains blank. Also, my chosen display name for the contact seems to be ignored.
Why is this being ignored and more importantly; How can I achieve what I want?
Following up on your yesterday’s tip; I attach a file quite often and use some other commands with long keyboard sequences quite often as well.
Is there any way I can do this quicker instead of typing this (not intuitive) keyboard sequence?
I’ve been using Outlook 2013 since it came out and I’m still quite happy with it.
I know that since then Outlook 2016 has come out and Outlook 2021 is the latest version that is available. Then there is also Microsoft 365 which apparently is always the latest version of Office.
With so many newer versions of Outlook, is Microsoft still committed to support my Outlook 2013 version or is it time for me to move on?
When I wanted to edit my Signature, I noticed that the Signatures button isn’t working at all when I click on it. The same is true for the Stationery and Fonts… button.
I tried repairing my installation of Office but that didn’t work.
How can I get my Signature Editor to work again?
I used Conditional Formatting to color code email in my Inbox. All works fine except that any email from one particular person, John Hill, is colored olive no matter what I set the color to.
Trouble is, I use olive for a different set of senders. I need his to be teal.
It worked correctly for a week or so, but now no matter what I do, or how many times I try to change it, it always stays olive.
Any solution?
Every time I compose a new email, the new message window shows very big letters.
For example, I can only see 6 English words on my 22" monitor. The font I use is Arial size 10. This is very annoying as I just cannot see my message clearly. I have tried to turn off everything in Accessibility and it didn't help. When I read email, then all is normal.
How do I get back to a normal size font again?
In Outlook 2003 when an item was flagged, and subsequently marked Complete, the email would show the date and time it was de-flagged and marked as complete. In Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010, it is only showing the date.
How do I get it to show both the completed date and time again?
I frequently travel between different time zones. Sometimes I change my computer's clock to match the time zone that I'm in and sometimes I don't (depends a bit on how long I'm staying).
This can be quite confusing sometimes and I often worry if all my meetings and appointments are still scheduled on the correct time.
What is the best way to configure Outlook in this situation?
