The ToolTips for some commands do not show their corresponding keyboard shortcuts (like for instance "Attach File").

Do I always have to use my mouse for these commands or are there any hidden shortcuts for them or can I somehow create my own?

I’ve added pictures to my Outlook.com contacts in Outlook. However, when I look at my Contacts on the Outlook.com website or in Outlook on another computer, I don’t see the contact pictures I added.

When I select the Activities tab of a contact, it shows me all the Activities as it should. With the "Show" dropdown list I can select which type of Activities I can see (mails, appointments, notes, etc...). So far so good.

The trouble is, is that I get too much information when I select "E-mail" option. Right now it is searching through my entire mailbox but I only need it to search some specific folders.

Is there any way I can change this?

I’m using Outlook on Windows 10 and while new emails successfully arrive in my Inbox folder, I do not get a New Email Alert for them like I used to.

I did notice that there was a notification for it in the new Action Center but that goes a bit unnoticed. Outlook itself is still configured to “Display a Desktop Alert” but it doesn’t show.

Can I somehow get the old big alert and sound back when a new message arrives?

I frequently travel between different time zones. Sometimes I change my computer's clock to match the time zone that I'm in and sometimes I don't (depends a bit on how long I'm staying).

This can be quite confusing sometimes and I often worry if all my meetings and appointments are still scheduled on the correct time.

What is the best way to configure Outlook in this situation?
