I am a new user of Outlook 2013. Before this I was using online Outlook.com and Outlook 2010 in combination with the Outlook Hotmail Connector.
When I installed Office 365, Outlook 2013 seemed to have set everything up fine. However, I want to create a simple contacts group for my email but the button for "New Contacts Group" is greyed out on the Home tab of the People module.
How can I create create a new Contact Group in Outlook 2013?
I know that when I permanently delete something from Outlook (so also from the Deleted Items folder), it will still not be deleted directly and my pst-file won't become smaller unless I run Compact Now. Until then or until it gets overwritten, the data is still stored within the pst-file and thus recoverable as you described here.
I'd prefer the deleted items to be really gone and free up space directly. For this I now manually run Compact Now a couple of times per week.
Can I configure Outlook that it will always automatically compact the pst-file whenever I delete something?
I’d like to improve my Yahoo Mail security by enabling Two-Step Verification.
Since doing so, Outlook is constantly prompting me for my password even though I’m 100% sure that I’m putting in the correct password.
How can I use Yahoo Mail with Outlook without disabling Two-Step Verification?
Using Outlook on the Web, when I click on the To button to address an email, I can only see my own contacts and not the internal contacts from my company (Global Address List).
When I switch to the People section, I do see my company’s “Directory” so I know it is there.
How can I switch between my Address Lists when addressing an email and can I also change the defaults Address List as I can do in Outlook?
I know how to get the Internet message header in Outlook to check the origin and other sender and routing details of a received message, but is there also a way to see them when using Outlook Web Access (OWA)?
When I was still using Outlook 2007, I could back up my AutoComplete cache by copying the nk2-file and then reuse it on another computer.
Now that I’m on Office 365, I no longer have this file but the AutoComplete feature still works.
Where is the AutoComplete being cached now and how can I back it up in a way that I can also restore it in the future when needed?
When doing a Mail Merge in Word, I can see all my Outlook contacts. In most cases, I can apply some filters to easily select the contacts I need but I can't seem to be able to filter based on Categories that I have assigned the contacts to.
Is there any way to do this?
How can I use any of Outlook's command-line switches when using the Click-to-Run version of Outlook 2010?
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?
Recently I have been noticing that whenever I create a new message, reply or forward messages in Outlook, any hyperlinks and/or pictures in the message are replaced by
{HYPERLINK "mailto:______@_____.com"}
or
{HYPERLINK "http://www._____.com" }
or
{INCLUDEPICTURE "cid:image001.jpg@______" \* MERGEFORMATINET }
How can I reset my Outlook to include the short hyperlink when I write the message or edit it? (When the mail is sent or received it changes back to the short link).
