I have multiple accounts configured and they are all showing New Mail Desktop Alerts when new email comes in.
As one account mainly receives newsletters and spam, I’d like to turn off these alerts for this specific account.
How can I configure which account should display New Mail Desktop Alerts?
When doing a search in Outlook, the main Outlook window is taken up by the search results.
Often I want to leave these search results open and want to continue with something else in Outlook. For instance, check my Calendar or Contacts folder or read a new message that just came in.
How can I have Outlook open the search results in a new window?
I’d like to enable the Automatic Replies (Out of Office Assistant) feature, but it really shouldn’t send out an Automatic Reply to various addresses, like for instance mailing lists which I am a member of.
How can I prevent Automatic Replies to reply to certain addresses?
Are you using Outlook and is your Documents folder redirected to a network share like a file server or a NAS-system or to Cloud Storage like OneDrive or Dropbox?
This is a must read then…
Over the week, I’ve received various Meeting Invitations for meetings I do not intend to go to as these were multiple timeslots for basically the same gathering.
I’ve deleted all these invitations but upon checking my Calendar, I still see them there as Tentative meetings.
Why haven’t these been removed as well and how can I prevent this in the future?
I just installed Office 2013 and one thing I noticed is that Outlook now has two icons on the Taskbar when it is open. If the program is closed, only one icon is displayed.
Any additional Outlook windows also group to this icon so basically the first Outlook is only being used to open Outlook.
How can I get rid of this extra Outlook icon on the Taskbar?
For archiving or approving purposes (especially with Drafts), we need to print out e-mail messages with the current date and time on it.
I believe Outlook 2003 did this automatically but Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 no longer do this. Instead these versions only print with the sent/received date and no date at all for Draft messages.
Is there any way to "restamp" the date and time on a message when printing?
When clicking on a mailto link, Outlook used to get opened and I could write my email. Now, when I click on a mailto link, it brings up the Gmail webpage while I don't even have a Gmail account.
I've already made sure that Outlook has been set as my default mail client in Windows, but mailto links still bring me to Gmail.
How can I get mailto links to open with Outlook again?
I have a very large mailbox so I cleaned it up but noticed that the size of my pst-file remained the same. I've already emptied the Deleted Items folder too.
How can I make it smaller?
I also use Outlook as my RSS Reader but as a result, my Unread Mail folder now also counts and displays each unread RSS message in that folder.
Is it possible to only count and show unread emails in the Unread Mail folder?
