Several emails are saved as separate msg-files on my disk. When I do a search in Explorer, I noticed that it only searches in the file name and not inside the message itself. Strangely enough, the search results do show Word documents and other files that contain the words I searched for.
How can I make Windows also search inside msg-files which I've got stored?
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?
Other than my own mailbox, I’ve also got access to some additional shared mailboxes within our company.
We are using Exchange and I have been granted access to these mailboxes but when I create a message rule, to for instance move specific emails to another folder, it only seems to apply to messages that are address to me and not to the shared mailbox.
How can I set up a rule for a shared mailbox?
I received an interesting message which I wanted to read later so I've let it Unread but now it is gone.
I’ve found out that it was recalled by the sender but I don't think it should have been for reasons I won't go into here.
Is there any way I can still get this message back?
Recently, I’m getting more an more spam in my Inbox with no email address.
The From field only shows a name but no email address. Also, when I hover over the name or right click on it, it doesn’t open a Contact Card with more info.
Right clicking on the message in the message list doesn’t allow me to block it either.
How can I block this new type of spam?
I've got a fair amount of Personal Folder (pst-files) connected in Outlook and I wanted to add another one. When I tried, I got the following error;
"Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again."
My system has lots of memory (4GB) and still plenty of memory free but even after closing all other applications and restarting my computer, I still get the same error.
How can I open more pst-files?
To easily sort out my newsletters from my actual emails, I’ve created an alias for my Outlook.com which is myname-newsletters@outlook.com.
Unfortunately, every now and then I tend to get a lot of spam on this address even though I don’t use it for emailing myself. I can only assume that one of the newsletters I signed up with is selling addresses.
I thought about creating an alias for each newsletter I sign up with but this process is rather cumbersome and the amount of aliases I can create on Outlook.com is limited.
Is there another way to approach this?
I sometimes receive a mailing which shows "Undisclosed Recipients" in to To field. I want to send out a mailing myself now.
How can I also send out with "Undisclosed Recipients"?
Upon opening a message in Outlook, it opens with the File tab selected. It used to open with the Message tab selected.
How do I change it so that the Message tab is selected when the message is opened?
I already own a version of Office with Outlook and want to upgrade to Office 2010. I cannot find any information about upgrade licenses.
Do I have to buy the full version again?
