I would like to create a rule that will allow me to filter all of the meeting receipts where people have typed in a message to me.
This is to prevent me from reviewing the meeting receipts that don't have any verbiage contained in the body.
I see where I can look for specific words, but don't know how to examine for the presence of text.
How can I filter out these empty responses?
I'm trying to open an msg-file I've received but Outlook cannot open it. When I try I get "Unable to read the item".
How can I open it?
I regularly take calls and make Appointments for my colleague and want to send these in such a way that he can directly add them to his Calendar.
These aren’t Meetings with me so I don’t want to send him a Meeting Request as then they will also show on my own Calendar. I also don’t have direct writing access to his Calendar as he doesn’t like to be “surprised” with new Appointments suddenly showing up in his Calendar.
Is there any way I can send such Appointments by email without crating a whole lot of extra work for me?
I’ve created quite a few Quick Steps in Outlook 2013 on my Windows 7 computer with various template replies and actions. I now have a new Windows 11 computer with Outlook 365 on it.
How do I copy the Quick Steps from one computer to the other?
When I type or paste an URL in my message in Outlook on the Web (OWA), some sort of preview is sometimes added with a logo and a description of the website or a still image of a YouTube video.
It looks OK but unfortunately, sometimes it doesn’t work and sometimes it is being added in the middle of my sentence after I’ve added an URL which is very awkward to say the least.
I now have the following questions about this feature;
I'm using a Hotmail account and noticed that any tasks that I create in Outlook are not synced to the server. This means that my tasks also won't sync to my mobile phone nor my other computer.
I only have quite simple tasks, usually only consisting out of a subject and a reminder and sometimes a category.
Is there any way I can make my Tasks sync with Hotmail as well?
I’ve configured Outlook.com to collect emails from another account of mine via POP3.
While this works without issues, it really takes a long time before new emails of this POP3 account actually become available in Outlook.com.
Is there a way to configure how often Outlook.com checks for new emails for configured POP3 accounts, force a manual send/receive or anything else to increase the speed to receive new emails?
I’ve set Outlook’s “Automatically wrap text at character” option to 40 instead of the default 76 but it doesn’t appear to do anything.
When I compose a message, the line still goes on forever and doesn’t break into a new line at character 40 at all. The same is true for the received message.
Why isn’t it working or what is this option supposed to do then?
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?
