Removing Calendars from the Navigation Pane

Removing Calendars from the Navigation Pane

When I switch to the Calendar Navigation, I see a long list of Calendars which I've opened previously. These are grouped under "Shared Calendars".

I'd like to clean up this list since some of these people do no longer work here or I simply no longer need to access their Calendars anymore.

How do I remove these additional Calendars from the Navigation Pane?

Reminders support for folders in archives and additional pst-files

Reminders support for folders in archives and additional pst-files

I’m storing a couple of my Outlook folders outside of my default mailbox (inside a separate pst-file). When I flag messages in this folder and add a reminder I get the following error;

“The reminder for “<subject>” will not appear because the item is in a folder that doesn’t support reminders. Is this OK?”

How can I add reminder support to this folder?

Putting the Navigation Bar back in the Folder Pane in Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016

Putting the Navigation Bar back in the Folder Pane in Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016

In Outlook 2016, there is this huge gray bar at the bottom which lists (in a very big font) Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks, etc… to switch to their corresponding folder.

In previous versions of Outlook, they were listed as icons within the pane on the left which also displays all your folders.

I liked this configuration better as this was a lot smaller and therefor allows for more space to display the message list and also gives me a larger Reading Pane area.

Is there any way to put it back there and gain back some of this wasted space?

Junk E-mail marked as Not Junk getting marked as Junk again

Junk E-mail marked as Not Junk getting marked as Junk again

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?
