I’m storing a couple of my Outlook folders outside of my default mailbox (inside a separate pst-file). When I flag messages in this folder and add a reminder I get the following error;

“The reminder for “<subject>” will not appear because the item is in a folder that doesn’t support reminders. Is this OK?”

How can I add reminder support to this folder?

I’m sorting my emails into multiple folders and therefor frequently use the Search feature with the scope set to “Current Mailbox”, “All Mailboxes” or even “All Outlook Items”.

However, this also returns some unwanted results from folders which are basically always irrelevant to me.

For instance, I always want to exclude the following folders from my search results: Drafts, Deleted Items, Junk E-mail, RSS Subscriptions, Newsletters, Social Media Updates and some more.

Is there any way to apply such a search filter without complicating my search query?

I'm using an IMAP account in Outlook 2010 and each time I try to send a message I get the following error (but the message still gets sent);

"The Sent Items folder is unavailable."

I get a similar error when deleting a message;

"The Deleted Items folder is unavailable."

This error is then followed by;

"The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook."

I've restarted Outlook but I still get all these errors. How can I solve all these folder errors?

Unfortunately, Outlook on the Web doesn’t seem to recognize when I type in Dutch or German.
