How can I enable these features?

In my emails, I often need to refer to documentation and products on the Internet for which I also supply the URL within the message.

For readability, I turn these words into clickable hyperlinks.

Unfortunately, this is quite a bit of work and the documentation and product links are the same ones I use over and over.

Would it be possible to automatically turn these key words into hyperlinks pointing to the correct URL?

On occasion I save an attachment to a folder which I then decide to move to a better location. However, I then get the error that the folder is in use.

A similar thing happens when I save an attachment or message to a USB-drive; I cannot eject the drive and get the error that the device is currently in use. I then need to close Outlook for it to release the lock.

Is there any way to prevent Outlook for creating such a lock or to release it without restarting Outlook?

When trying to create a new signature or editing an existing one, I get the following error;

"You are attempting to save a file type (Web Pages) that has been blocked by your File Block settings in the Trust Center"

How can I solve this and re-enable the saving of Signatures again?

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?
