Every time I create a new folder, I need to modify it to my liking.
I’ve changed quite a few things and create new folders on a regular basis so it is quite cumbersome to do this every single time.
Can I somehow alter the default View that is being applied to new folders?
For our sports club, I’m trying to create a calendar with our schedule to which everyone needs to have access. We don’t have Exchange but just a bunch of private POP3, IMAP and Outlook.com and Hotmail accounts.
Some of us need to have full read/write access but for others read permissions will do.
Would it still be possible for us to create a shared group calendar?
When I switch to the Calendar Navigation (CTRL+2), I see multiple Calendars listed for the various accounts that I have.
However, new meeting requests which I receive do not always get added to the Calendar of that account.
For instance, meeting requests I receive for my personal POP3 account get added the Calendar folder of my Exchange account from work.
How can I set the default Calendar to be the one of my POP3 Calendar?
When synching my Outlook.com account via the Outlook Hotmail Connector I get the following error:
Task 'Hotmail' reported error (0x80004005) : 'There is an error synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your account is configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web. Error: 4350. '
I have logged in via the web and nothing is reported there. Also, my mail, contact and calendar seem to sync just fine accept from receiving this error.
How can I get rid of this synching error?
I've got some GIF-files in Outlook but they don't animate.
How can I make them work?
I use Dreamweaver to design email templates for a newsletter in HTML.
Is there a way I can import the HTML code from this template directly into an Outlook message so I can send it (for example) to my clients?
A follow up question came in based on yesterday’s tip for directly inserting scanned images into a message;
Is it also possible to attach these scanned images as files instead of inserting them into the message body?
When scanning in a document such as a signed contract, it doesn't make sense to insert them into the message body.
When going over some large files on my computer, I came across quite a few of pst-files and ost-files in various locations.
Some of these files are named after an email address, some are listed multiple times with a (2) or (3) behind it. Others were tagged as an archive.
What are the differences between these pst-files and ost-files?
Which ones should I keep and which ones can I delete?
I'm using a Hotmail account and noticed that any tasks that I create in Outlook are not synced to the server. This means that my tasks also won't sync to my mobile phone nor my other computer.
I only have quite simple tasks, usually only consisting out of a subject and a reminder and sometimes a category.
Is there any way I can make my Tasks sync with Hotmail as well?
When I had Word set as my email editor, I had the option to directly insert a picture from a scanner or camera via the Insert menu. That option is now gone after I have switched to Outlook 2007/2010.
Is there any way to get this functionality back?
