When typing an address in the “To:” line I get a list of addresses to choose from. There are several of these autocomplete recipient names in there which I’ve mistyped and also some that I don’t use anymore.
How can I remove these? They are not in my Contacts folder either. Where are they?
I’ve upgraded my desktop and laptop computer to Office 365 but I believe something went wrong with the “Suggested Contacts” folder.
On one computer, the Suggested Contacts folder is there but it no longer adds new addresses for people that I sent to but aren’t in my Address Book.
On my other computer, I started with a new mailbox and that mailbox doesn’t have a Suggested Contacts folder at all!
The AutoSuggest feature still works though for any past or new addresses.
What is going on and how do I restore the Suggested Contacts feature?
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?
When I’m using Outlook in my Internet browser, I don’t see the Bcc and From field. I’ve found how I can enable it when composing a message but as soon as I send this message and start a new one, the fields are hidden again.
How can I always show the Bcc and From fields when using Outlook on the Web?
As of recently, some of my emails are going into a folder called Clutter rather than into my Inbox folder.
I'm trying to find out why as I don't have any rules configured to do this and I really want to receive them in my Inbox folder again.
How can I turn this off or configure it otherwise?
When I double click on a Word attachment, Outlook tries to open it with “Windows Photo Viewer” which obviously fails.
Similarly, when I double click on a pdf-file, it tries to open it with Adobe Photoshop. Eventually, this will work for most pdf-files but loading Photoshop takes a while and only allows me to view a single page at once. As I want to read and not edit the pdf-file, I’d much rather open it with Adobe Reader instead.
How can I tell Outlook which program to open the attachment with?
When I scroll in Outlook, for instance in a longer message or the message list itself, the window doesn't scroll. Scrolling in another application works as it should.
How can I get scrolling to function in Outlook as well?
Using Exchange, I've created a rule and after I finished creating it I got a warning that the rule would be "client-only". It also added the condition "on this machine only" by itself. I've disabled that condition but the rule still isn't ran when Outlook is closed.
How do I turn it into a server rule?
How can I backup my Outlook settings and especially my email account configuration?
When attaching a file to a message, it opens a dialog which lets you browse for files. When I click on “All Files (*.*)”, it allows you to choose various file types such as Word Documents, Word 97-2003, Rich Text Format, Text Files, etc...
Is it also possible to add my own file types here such as Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe PDF-files?
