I'm using an Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode. I know that I'm looking at a local cache then instead of directly at my mailbox on the Exchange server.
How exactly is synchronization occurring and can I tweak it?
I used your previous tip to get rid of the Save/Open prompt when double clicking an attachment. Now I want to undo that for several file types.
How can I undo that?
I'm monitoring multiple mailboxes in Outlook and for this I open multiple Outlook windows so that I can easily switch between windows instead of needing to browse between folders. I usually have an additional Outlook window open for my Calendar as well.
I only found an option for a single startup folder. I guess I'm looking for an option similar to Internet Explorer where I can set up multiple Home Page folders or restoring my last browser session.
Is there anything similar in Outlook so that I can open all these folders automatically at startup?
I've archived an old pst-file to a CD and I'm trying to access it now because it contains data I need again. I've tried opening it in Outlook, but it won't let me.
How can I access my data again?
At work we use Outlook but when I’m away from the office, I only have access to my mail via Outlook Web App (OWA). As this is in a browser, I was wondering the following:
Is it possible to create a bookmark, favorite or even a Desktop shortcut to quickly create a new email in OWA?
I'm using an IMAP account in Outlook as part of Office 365 and I noticed that various folders now have "This computer only" behind them. These folders I indeed cannot find back on the server.
This includes my Calendar and Contacts folder as well which I really cannot afford to lose.
What is the proper way to back them up?
I’ve just installed Office 2013 but I also have Communicator 2007 R2 installed and found that the Communicator status is not found in Outlook.
In the option of Communicator, the option “Update my presence based on my Calendar information” is checked but that doesn’t seem to work either.
How can I solve this?
I often use the Preview Attachment feature in Outlook 2007/2010 to quickly go through the attachments I receive.
Should I be worried about any macro code or other types of security threads when looking at my attachments this way?
In a previous tip, you explained how you can set which IM client should integrate with Outlook.
In Outlook.com, you can use Facebook chat and I would also like to have that in Outlook. I’ve connected Facebook to Outlook via the Facebook Social Connector Provider but I see no chat function.
Is it also possible to integrate Facebook chat into Outlook?
Recently, upon checking for new emails by pressing the Send/Receive button or sending a new one myself, I get the error “Not implemented”.
At the moment, I can’t send out any emails at all nor do I receive any new ones.
Where is this coming from and, more importantly, how do I get rid of it and be able to send/receive mail again?
