Upon printing an email from Outlook, my name is printed in large bold letters at the top of the message.

While this is OK for my own messages, sadly Outlook also prints my name when I print a message from my manager’s mailbox for which I am a delegate.

Is there a way to print it with the name of my manager instead or to remove the name altogether?

I have a few personal folders/data files, and 1 of it is password-protected.

Back in Outlook 2003, I'm only prompted for the password if I actually accessed the folder. Now in 2007/2010, the pop-up comes up as soon as I start up Outlook.

How do I stop this from happening?

Sometimes when I use drag and drop to organize emails they are being moved and at other times they are being copied.

Also, sometimes I drop them on the wrong folder (I've got a shaky hand) and then have to undo before trying again.

How can I get more control over this and find out in advance if they will get copied or moved?

We still have some older Outlook clients that we need to be compatible with. Therefore we still create pst-files in the ANSI format.

In Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 we got prompted to choose a format (ANSI or UNICODE), in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 this prompt appears to have been removed and Outlook always creates a UNICODE formatted pst-file.

Is it no longer possible to create ANSI formatted pst-files?

I’ve created several Contact Groups in Outlook (known as Distribution Lists in previous versions of Outlook) which I use for mailings.

Due to some restructuring and increase of my sending limit, I now like to combine some of these groups into 1 group. As they hold quite a few Contacts, I don’t really feel like adding them manually or recreate the group entirely.

Is there any way I can quickly combine multiple Contact Groups into one?

I use the Outlook Social Connector but most of the status update message from my contacts go unnoticed since you only really see them when you receive a message.

There are various contacts that I only “follow” and not regularly receive messages from. While I could open the contact or find an old message from these contacts to see all their updates, I was wondering;

Is there also a way to list all status updates of all contacts together?
