There are some rules that I want to remove but when I go to Tools-> Rules and Alerts (or File-> Manage Rules & Alerts in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013), these rules are grayed out and cannot be removed.
How can I get rid of these "ghost rules"?
When I create a new Contact in Outlook, I get the traditional Contact form which I also got in previous versions of Outlook. However, once Iβve saved an closed this form, I canβt seem to get back to it anymore.
When I double click on a contact in the Contacts folder, it opens a contact card which only list a few of the details which I can edit and a Notes section.
I get a similar contact dialog when I use the Search People box on the Ribbon. Annoyingly this contact dialog automatically goes away when I click somewhere else in Outlook.
How can I get back to the full contact editing form and have it stay open?
After installing an update for Outlook, I'm encountering some strange issues with Outlook which I think are directly related to the update and not to any other Outlook issue.
How can I uninstall the update again to verify if the issue will indeed be gone then?
When replying to a message, my picture in my signature does not show. When I create a new message, the picture is visible as it should.
How can I make Outlook to include my picture in my signature as well when replying?

In Outlook, the time and date format can be controlled via Regional Settings in Control Panel. This allows me to change the time format from AM/PM to a 24 hour clock.
However, this settings doesn't seem to apply to Outlook Web App as my emails and Calendar are still shown in the AM/PM notation.
How do I set OWA to use a 24 hour clock as well?
In one of your previous tips, you mentioned how to set your private Contacts folder as the default when selecting the Address Book instead of showing the Global Address List first.
When Iβm away from the office, Iβm forced to use Outlook Web Access instead of being able to use Outlook.
Is there any way I can make this change in Outlook on the Web as well?
Iβve added my Outlook.com mailbox to Outlook 2013 as an Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) account. In the Navigation Pane, the display mailbox of the mailbox is the full email address of my Outlook.com account.
Because my email address is quite long, it gets truncated with ββ¦β. Preferably, I just want it to show my first name since it is my personal account.
Is there any way I can rename or otherwise shorten this mailbox name?
