Outlook has various alerts such as the New Mail Desktop Alert and of course the notification sound. I also have some additional alerts set via rules.
When entering a meeting or giving a presentation, all these alerts are not so nice to have anymore.
Apart from closing Outlook, is there any way to turn these alerts off all at once?
I've got a single Exchange mailbox which holds multiple email addresses. I can receive mail sent to any of these addresses just fine, but I cannot find a way to choose which address to send out with.
I've tried setting the From field with another address but that got automatically replaced with my default address or a bounce message saying that I don't have permission to do so.
How can I send out a message with one of my mailbox aliases?
Recently I have been noticing that whenever I create a new message, reply or forward messages in Outlook, any hyperlinks and/or pictures in the message are replaced by
{HYPERLINK "mailto:______@_____.com"}
or
{HYPERLINK "http://www._____.com" }
or
{INCLUDEPICTURE "cid:image001.jpg@______" \* MERGEFORMATINET }
How can I reset my Outlook to include the short hyperlink when I write the message or edit it? (When the mail is sent or received it changes back to the short link).
I’ve received a Distribution List (Contact Group) from a colleague but instead of just having this list, I’d also like to add the members as individual contacts to my Contacts folder.
Is there any easy way to do this?
I just reinstalled my computer but did not save the nk2-file to maintain my AutoComplete list so now no addresses show up when writing in the To-line.
Is there any way I can quickly fill AutoComplete with all my contacts at once instead of waiting for the list to rebuild itself again?
When selecting a specific folder, Outlook directly crashes. Outlook works just fine for all other folders.
How can I access this folder again?
When I access a shared Contacts folder from another user, I don't see the "Outlook Address Book" tab in the Properties dialog of that folder.
How can I add a shared Contacts folder as an Address List to my own Address Book?
When looking at my message list in the Inbox, sometimes the header information is shown on 1 line and sometimes it is on 2 and some even hold a preview of the message. It seems a bit erratic this way.
How can I have it to always show on 2 lines?
Once or twice a month, I go through the Junk E-Mail folder and scan through it, looking for valid e-mails before emptying it out. If I find something that isn't Junk, I click on “Not Junk” and then it moves it to the Inbox.
In this case, I had multiple senders of which multiple valid e-mails ended up in my Junk E-mail folder and I had to manually look for and move each e-mail to the Inbox.
Is there any way to use the “Not Junk” button and then have that automatically apply to all other e-mails from the same sender within the Junk E-mail folder as well?
I’ve configured my Outlook.com account in Outlook and here I see multiple Calendars like my default Calendar, a Birthday Calendar, a Holidays Calendar and a few more I created.
Now I want to delete the ones I created as I either copied the items to my main Calendar or simply no longer need them. However, when I right click on the Calendar in Outlook, the option to delete the Calendar is greyed out.
How do I delete these Outlook.com Calendars?
