I have multiple email accounts configured in Outlook. By default, Outlook seems to name them after my email address which is quite long.

For all accounts, the first part is just my name and only the domain part is different (one from Outlook.com, one from Gmail and one from my company’s domain).

Can I shorten this to for instance “Outlook.com” or “Gmail” or even make them a bit more descriptive like “personal” and “business”?

For my job, I regularly need to do the same or very similar search queries in Outlook.

Some queries are a bit more complex so redoing them each time is a bit cumbersome.

Is there a way to save my Search queries so I can reuse them later rather than needing to redo them each time?

I’m pretty sure that the server is available since I can still send and receive emails.

How do I correct this error so I can turn the OOF on and off again via Outlook?

I've received a message with images in it which are located on the Internet. Outlook blocks these images from being downloaded, but even when I tell Outlook to download the images they will not show.

I've completely disabled the picture blocking feature in Trust Center-> Automatic Download now and they still don't download and only show the infamous broken image icon with a red X. This applies to all the emails that I get with Internet  images from different senders so I know it is not an issue with how the message was composed or that the images are no longer available on the web server.

How can I get Outlook to download these images?
