When I access my Exchange mailbox in the browser via Outlook Web App (OWA), I get the following question at the bottom:

Do you want to allow outlook.com to use additional storage on your computer?

Here I have the option to choose between “Yes” and “Not for this site”.

What is triggering this question and what does it want to store?

In previous versions of Outlook, there was an option to enable a ruler which you also described in a previous tip.

I have not been able to find this in Outlook 2016. I use this to create tab-stops to align my content and determine the with of images and tables for newsletters that I send out.

Is this option really gone in Outlook 2016 or can I still somehow enable it?

At work, they’ve implemented Unified Messaging for Exchange. A really cool thing is that I now can call a number to get access to my mailbox via Outlook Voice Access (OVA) and have my emails read out loud.

As I sometimes don’t feel like reading emails (like long emails or memos), I was wondering;

Can Outlook read my emails out loud as well?

I have lots of contacts in Outlook and I’m switching to an Outlook.com account.

For a couple of contacts, I’ve filled out these fields.

My work involves updating a spreadsheet with new information and then send out this updated spreadsheet directly to several customers. At the end of the week, I also have to send them the latest report.

The way I do this now is by using a draft message which is pre-addressed already. Once I'm done updating, I open a copy of this draft, add the latest spreadsheet as an attachment and send it out.

For the report I do something similar and have a recurring task reminder set at the end of the week to remind me to send it out.

Since this is a very large part of my work (I update multiple spreadsheets and send out multiple reports), the Outlook process is rather cumbersome. Is there any way I can skip a few steps in this process?
