I want to send an email to all the contacts belonging to a certain Category but unfortunately, I can’t seem to sort or filter my Address Book by Category when addressing an email.

To overcome this limitation, I thought about creating a Contact Group for this Category but then I run into the same limitation when adding members to this group.

Is there an easy way to create a Contact Group for a certain Category aside from adding all the contacts of that Category one-by-one?

I’m thinking about buying a Microsoft Surface tablet but I’m left with a few questions regarding mail and especially in conjunction with Outlook as that is what I’m currently using.

• I saw that the Microsoft Surface tablet comes with Office pre-installed. Does this also include Outlook and if not, can I install Outlook on it later?
• If I were to use the Mail app, can I sync the Microsoft Surface tablet with Outlook on my Desktop?
• Can I also sync my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks (To-Do list) and Notes?

When I started Outlook this morning, it told me that it couldn’t find the pst-file that I’ve been using for years. It indeed appeared deleted and after some panicking, I found that it was luckily “only” quarantined by my virus scanner.

How do I prevent this from happening again?

Why is this happening and how can I fix these messages?

I checked the list of add-ins that I have installed for Outlook and I’m a bit surprised how many I have installed.

I thought I was just using “plain vanilla” Outlook without add-ins but apparently Outlook already comes with some pre-installed and some others were added by installing other applications.

I now try to “weed out” the additional add-ins hoping that it will improve my Outlook startup time as it is fast when launching Outlook in Safe Mode.

Which add-ins do I really need and which are safe to disable?
