Upon opening attachments, they get opened in a Protected View which prevents me from editing the file unless I first press on the "Enable Editing" button.
As I'm always very careful about which attachments I open and often need to edit and return attachments, I find this additional step a bit annoying.
Is there a way to "unblock" these attachments by default?
I noticed that Outlook now converts typed smiley faces in actual colorful smiley face emoji when composing a message.
That’s cute and all but there are of course many more emoji and more constantly being added. I therefor had the following questions regarding emoji support in Outlook;
I'm using an Outlook.com account in Outlook on multiple computers. I've created some rules to help me organize my emails but they only work on 1 computer unless I also recreate the rules on all the other computers.
Is there any way to sync all my Outlook rules with my Outlook.com account as well?
I’ve recently deleted a couple of emails too many but as I’m using an Exchange account, I should be able to recover them via the Recover Deleted Items feature.
However, due to the amount of spam, the Social Connector and a plethora of other messages I’ve deleted it is almost impossible to find back the messages that I want to restore.
Is there a more convenient way to find back my deleted items?
Also, once recovered, which folder does it go to?
I’ve just installed Office 2010 but I seem to be missing some new features or they are not working correctly.
How can I enable these features?
I’m multilingual and frequently type emails in English, Dutch and German. I’ve installed everything on my computer in English and when I type an email in Outlook on the Web, the English spellchecker kicks in when needed.
Unfortunately, Outlook on the Web doesn’t seem to recognize when I type in Dutch or German.
How can I add additional languages to Outlook on the Web?
I’ve accidentally permanently deleted an email when using Outlook on the Web (OWA).
When this happens in Outlook, I can select the Folder tab and then choose: Recover Deleted Items. In OWA, there is no such tab and I can’t find the “Recover Deleted Items” button anywhere.
How can I recover deleted items in OWA?
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?
When starting Outlook I get the following error;
"Cannot open your default e-mail folders. An unexpected error has occurred.
MAPI was unable to load the information service msncon.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured."
How do I solve this?
When selecting a specific folder, Outlook directly crashes. Outlook works just fine for all other folders.
How can I access this folder again?
