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've added a couple of commands to the Standard Toolbar in the main Outlook windows and now it spans 2 rows. I like it like this.
However, when I exit the "edit mode" for toolbar customization, the Toolbar collapses to a single line again. I've tried to set the option "Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows" but that option is grayed out.
How can I make my customized toolbar show on 2 lines instead of 1?
I’ve deleted some messages which I actually wanted to keep. To recover them, I tried I tried to use the “Recover Deleted Items” button on the Folder tab but it isn’t working.
Why doesn’t it work and how can I restore my deleted messages?
When I receive an email message from someone with an attached message I can't open the attached message; it does not open and I get no error messages.
What's wrong?
We need to perform an action in Outlook as an administrator. I logged on as the administrator of the computer, but I still can’t perform the action.
How can I start Outlook as an Administrator on Windows 10?
I’ve configured my Outlook.com account in Outlook and here I see multiple Calendars like my default Calendar, a Birthday Calendar, a Holidays Calendar and a few more I created.
Now I want to delete the ones I created as I either copied the items to my main Calendar or simply no longer need them. However, when I right click on the Calendar in Outlook, the option to delete the Calendar is greyed out.
How do I delete these Outlook.com Calendars?
How can I use any of Outlook's command-line switches when using the Click-to-Run version of Outlook 2010?
I’ve accidentally deleted a message which I liked to keep and since I have Outlook set to empty delete the Deleted Items folder upon closing Outlook, I can’t restore it from there anymore either.
I do make frequent backups of my pst-file, however, I do not want to lose any of my new emails which I’ve received or sent since creating that backup.
Is there any way to recover just that single message or the folder containing the message from my backup?
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).
