For most emails, I tend to rely on the Auto-Complete feature of Outlook to address the emails instead of using the Address Book.
I just noticed that for most of my contacts, I don’t even have them actually stored in my Contacts folder.
Is there any way to export the addresses from the Auto-Complete cache and import them into my Contacts folder?
I'd like to add a Business Card (vCard or vcf-file) to be included with my email signature but this also adds an image of it in my signature which I do not want.
I deleted this image when designing my signature but that removed the Business Card as well.
Is there any way to create my signature with the vCard but without the image of it?
I found that the latest holidays are missing from my calendar. I checked for updates but none are there and manually trying to install the latest holiday updates gives an error that the update is already installed or does not apply to my system.
How can I get the latest holidays to show up?
I’ve go several appointments, meetings and tasks for which I’ve set a reminder well in advance to keep it on my mind. I then progressively snooze it until its due date and time.
Sometimes, I wonder whether I’ve snoozed it correctly and haven’t accidentally set it to snooze 5 minutes before start or even dismissed it.
Is there any way to find out when Outlook will display the next reminder for any given appointment, meeting or task?
I've collected some emails in a separate folder together with some contact information in a subfolder. I now need to transfer this information to somebody else.
Is it possible to send an entire Outlook folder and possibly the subfolders as well at once?
When using the Save, Open, Attach File and Insert Picture dialogs in Outlook (and other Office applications), I usually need to browse quite a bit to actually get to the location where I want to be.
Would it be possible to add shortcuts to my own locations in these dialogs?
I'm using Outlook on multiple computers which apparently is causing a problem with the Junk E-mail filter.
On one computer, which I use daily, I've taken all the false positives out of my Junk E-mail folder and moved them back into my Inbox or other folders.
When I'm traveling, I'm using a laptop but when it collects all my emails since the last time I used it (which can be for over a week), it rescans all the emails that are being synced and most false positives end up in the Junk E-mail folder again.
How can I prevent this from happening?
I’d like to use Outlook just for managing my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks and don’t want to use it for email.
However, when I start Outlook, it insists that I add an email account.
Can I use Outlook without an email account?
I've configured my account in Outlook, and now all my emails have been removed from my web mailbox which prevents me from downloading them on my phone and tablet as well or check my emails via a browser.
How do I restore them back onto the server?
We’ve got several subfolders for the Inbox in a Shared Mailbox which we want to sort in such a way that the most frequently folders are at the top. The rest can remain ordered alphabetically.
We have no issues changing the sorting order at first. However, the sorting order seems to randomly get reset again and the folders end up in their original location.
We’ve tried renaming the folders with special prefixes as well, but that ended up in an even bigger mess.
Is there really no way to manually sort the folders of a Shared Mailbox and make them stay in their location?
