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?
For some of my new emails, I receive multiple new email alerts. These alerts come at the same time or within seconds from each other.
When I check in Outlook, I can see that I only received the message once. I also have no rules configured in Outlook to display a New Mail Alert for certain messages.
How can I get rid of these double alerts?
There is a domain which continues to send me Junk E-mail but they change the first part of their email address each time and sometimes also the subdomain.
Sadly, the Outlook Junk E-mail Filter doesn’t capture these emails automatically yet. I see options to safe list the Sender’s Domain but not to block the Sender’s Domain.
Is there a way that I can block all emails coming from this domain via wildcards or something similar?
I'd like to add a watermark to my message which says "confidential" as an extra visual reminder.
Does Outlook hold such an option?
When I am composing an email, as soon as I try to attach a document by using the paperclip icon, Outlook freezes up.
I can still drag and drop attachements to attach though but why doesn't the paperclip icon work anymore?
Instead of forwarding a message to someone else, I accidentally replied to it.
As this is a bit of an embarrassing mistake, I was wondering if I could “undo” the sending of this message.
Can I recall a message and how can I prevent future mistakes?
On occasion, I receive emails which are sent to multiple people. To keep the conversation intact, I use the Reply All button to respond. Only afterwards, I realized that I was only a BCC recipient in the original message and thus I now revealed myself to the rest, which the original sender obviously did not want.
As this can be quite embarrassing, not only to me but also to the original sender, is there any way that Outlook can warn me that I was only a BCC recipient for the email?
I've created a couple Quick Part text templates in Outlook which I use to quickly answer some common questions.
As I have spent quite some time creating them, I'd hate to lose them either when something goes wrong or when I get a new computer.
How can I make a backup of these Quick Parts?
When I try to send a message with some attachments, I get the warning that my message is too big to be sent.
How can I increase the attachment size limit?
When replying to a message, my picture in my signature does not show. When I create a new message, the picture is visible as it should.
How can I make Outlook to include my picture in my signature as well when replying?
