I’ve enabled the Coming Soon option in Outlook for Office 365 to test the new interface with a Single Line Ribbon and various changes to the Navigation Pane.
I used to be able to click on my mailbox folder (above Inbox) to open up Outlook Today but this seems no longer possible.
Has the Outlook Today feature been removed from Outlook?
We regularly send out meeting invitations to large groups.
To help us with planning the meeting, we keep track of how many people have accepted or declined already. We do this by looking at the counter provided at the top of the meeting item.
Unfortunately, these numbers often seem to be way off when compared to the actual responses given.
Why does this happen and how can we make the meeting response tracking more reliable?
I’ve imported holidays into my Calendar folder and I’ve also added birthdays and anniversaries to some of my closest contacts so that they’ll be added to my Calendar as well.
While I really like this feature, they do blend in with my regular appointments and meetings a bit too much for my taste.
Is it possible to highlight or color code these events so that they are different from the other Calendar entries?
The Task module of Outlook isn’t one of the prettiest or most modern parts of Outlook and probably also one of the lesser used modules by most.
Creating and managing tasks in Outlook can sometimes be a task of its own and there isn’t really a way to manage your Tasks when using a smartphone or tablet. Until now…
Have you already used the Microsoft To Do app?
To troubleshoot some sending and receiving issues, I'd like to see the original message source as a whole as it is received. Right now, I can only see the Internet Message Header and the source code of HTML messages but not the entire (MultiPart) message.
For further analyzing, is there any way to reveal to the original message source as it was received by Outlook rather then the cut of header and interpreted body?
When installing Windows Live Essentials, I also installed something called the "Outlook Connector Pack".
What exactly is this? It used to contain the Outlook Connector, is this the same?
To put some additional attention to my email, I’d like to add some shape characters to the subject line such as a star or heart.
Is this possible and if so, which shapes are supported in the email subject line?
I've got some GIF-files in Outlook but they don't animate.
How can I make them work?
I sometimes receive meeting invitations which includes attachments. In general, I keep my mailbox clean by saving my attachments to disk and then remove them from my emails.
However, while I can remove attachments for received messages, I can’t seem to delete them for received meeting invitations.
Is it possible to remove the attachments from a meeting invitation prior to accepting it?
It looks like the recent updates for Outlook completely broke my IMAP account in Outlook 2013.
For instance, the Inbox folder stays empty with the message “We didn't find anything to show here”. I also don’t receive any new emails.
In other folders, some e-mails can’t be moved or deleted or changes I make in Outlook do not sync to the server. Sometimes my move action is followed with the error:
"Cannot copy the items. You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to change your permissions. "
It seems that IMAP in Outlook 2013 is only getting worse, when will it get better and how do I fix my current issues?
