There is a little monthly calendar in Outlook’s To-Do Bar and also within the Calendar Navigation itself where you can click on a date and then it will open up your calendar at this date.
This is very useful to me but when nearing the end of the month, it is becoming less useful as less future dates become visible.
Is there any way that I can set it to show more months?
Is there any way I can quickly open Outlook via a keyboard shortcut or switch back to Outlook when it is already running?
Whenever I receive a new email message in my Inbox, I can see the envelope icon in my Notification Area. So far so good.
However, it doesn't reveal how many new emails I have received nor does it show when I receive a message in a folder other than the Inbox. Having that information would really help me, especially when I'm away from my desk for a while.
Is there a way to get these alerts regardless of which folder a message has been received in?
I’m using Google Chrome as my default browser but after installing the latest update of Chrome, I find several features within Outlook Web App (OWA) to be no longer functioning.
Some of these features are:
Is there any way to fix this?
I've set my Exchange account to "Always prompt for logon credentials" thinking that it would prevent people from being able to get to my messages.
However, I've noticed that when you simply click on "Cancel" when getting the password prompt, Outlook still shows all my messages.
How can I password protect my Exchange mailbox?
Sometimes when discussing a date for an appointment, the days are not in the same week and I find myself going back and forth within the calendar to find a suitable time.
Is there any way I can capture these days in a single overview?
I know that I can set the option to request for a Read Receipt for all messages or to set it on a per-message basis. However, I only want to set it when sending to certain people.
For instance, I only want to request a Read Receipt when sending to my boss, the HR department and some project managers.
Is there a way to have Outlook automatically ask for a Read Receipt if an email is sent to a specific email address rather than needing to set this manually?
I'm organizing my emails into various subfolders which have subfolders of their own again. In addition, I'm using rules to automatically move messages to their corresponding folder.
Usually I keep this folder structure collapsed but then I can't see if a message arrived in any of these subfolders. Even these folder trees are expanded, I would have to scroll in order to see them all.
Is there a way to make the parent folder show the combined amount of unread items in any of the subfolders?
I have a recurring appointment scheduled in Outlook for which I update the subject and message body of each occurrence to more accurately describe or report the purpose of that particular occurrence.
Unfortunately, when I do a search, Outlook can’t seem to find any of the text within these exceptions even though it is perfectly capable of finding the recurring item itself or anything else.
How can I do a query to find back any of these exceptions?
When I reply to a somewhat longer email, I find myself scrolling quite a lot between the original message at the bottom and then back up to where I left off writing my reply message.
While you could open the message in its own window and position and resize it in such a way that it sits nicely next to your compose screen so you can read them both, it is a somewhat cumbersome solution.
Did you know that you could split your message compose window directly from within Outlook?
