A company I work with a lot changed its name (it actually got taken over by another company). I have quite a few contacts from that company in my Outlook.
How can I update the company name of those contacts without editing every single one manually?
I’m using my Outlook.com account on 2 separate computers both running Outlook 2013.
I noticed that the Blocked and Safe Senders Lists of the Junk E-mail Options for my Outlook.com accounts aren’t synchronized. They used to do this when I was still using Outlook 2010 with the Outlook Hotmail Connector.
How can I sync my Junk E-mail Filter lists now that I’m using an EAS account?
Whenever I try to send a message, click on the Send/Receive button or when Outlook sends/receives by itself, Outlook crashes.
I can still use all the other functions in Outlook and Outlook works just fine when I place it in Offline mode. However, it would be nice to be able to send/receive some new emails as well. ;-)
How can I get Outlook back to work again?
Using Outlook on the Web, when I click on the To button to address an email, I can only see my own contacts and not the internal contacts from my company (Global Address List).
When I switch to the People section, I do see my company’s “Directory” so I know it is there.
How can I switch between my Address Lists when addressing an email and can I also change the defaults Address List as I can do in Outlook?
Some trivia about Outlook version numbers;
When inserting a link to a file on a mapped network share, the link is automatically converted to a UNC path. So a link that used to be;
H:\filename.txt
turns to;
\\servername\username\filename.txt
In the above example the H:\-drive is the user’s home drive and the UNC path now points to the home location of the sender instead of the receiver.
This is causing us some issues as we often place personal report files on the user’s home drive and then send them an email with a link to notify them of this. Our Human Resource department for instance does this in bulk and sends out a standardized email to all of the users at once with the H:\-drive reference.
Is there a way to configure Outlook that the drive path reference to the mapped network share is kept and that it won’t be converted to a UNC path?
I’m multilingual and frequently type emails in English, Dutch and German. I’ve installed everything on my computer in English and when I type an email in Outlook on the Web, the English spellchecker kicks in when needed.
Unfortunately, Outlook on the Web doesn’t seem to recognize when I type in Dutch or German.
How can I add additional languages to Outlook on the Web?
When doing a Mail Merge in Word, I can see all my Outlook contacts. In most cases, I can apply some filters to easily select the contacts I need but I can't seem to be able to filter based on Categories that I have assigned the contacts to.
Is there any way to do this?
I’ve configured a Connected Account in Outlook.com to read and reply to emails from another account that I own. This also allows me to receive them in Outlook without the need to configure an additional account.
A major downside of having a Connected Account is how long it takes for new emails to arrive. It seems that it only checks for new emails once every hour, which basically renders the feature useless to me.
Can I configure how often a Connected Account should check for new emails?
I’ve been trying to configure my Hotmail account (which is now Outlook.com) in Outlook 2013 via EAS but I get the following error:
There are too many devices syncing with this account. To sync using Outlook, try removing another device that is connected with this account such as a phone or another computer.
Followed with:
Line: 97
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
FolderStatus: 177
To re-try press F9...
Error Code: 0x80004005
I’m only using my account on my mobile phone and Outlook 2013 on my laptop and desktop. I can’t find a method to remove any old computers which I might still have.
How can I fix this issue and sync my Hotmail account with Outlook again?
