I just installed Office 2013 and one thing I noticed is that Outlook now has two icons on the Taskbar when it is open. If the program is closed, only one icon is displayed.
Any additional Outlook windows also group to this icon so basically the first Outlook is only being used to open Outlook.
How can I get rid of this extra Outlook icon on the Taskbar?
I’ve got an appointment/meeting for which I need to complete some tasks before the actual event is taking place. It is important that I’ll be able to receive notifications whenever a Task is due as well as the final appointment.
Is there an easy way to somehow link this appointment and all its tasks together so I can see which tasks need to be completed before that appointment but also to see which appointment belongs to a specific task?
When I start Outlook, I get an "Internet Security Warning" dialog box with the message;
The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that cannot be verified.
The target principal name is incorrect.
I clicked on "View Certificate" and installed the certificate, but I still get this dialog each time I start Outlook.
Clicking "Yes" each time allows me to use Outlook as normal but how can get rid of this dialog?
When searching in my own mailbox, I directly get my search results when typing. However, when I do a search in a Public Folder, this is not the case and I have to press ENTER to actually start the search.
In addition, several search commands do not seem to work and are grayed out.
How can I make Instant Search for Public Folder behave the same as for my mailbox?
In previous versions of Outlook, I could right click a message and choose Message Options... from the context menu. This would allow me to see the Internet headers of the received message.
When I right click on a message in Outlook 2016, I don't see this option anymore.
How can I access the Message Options and view the Internet headers in Outlook 2016?
Using Exchange, I've created a rule and after I finished creating it I got a warning that the rule would be "client-only". It also added the condition "on this machine only" by itself. I've disabled that condition but the rule still isn't ran when Outlook is closed.
How do I turn it into a server rule?
Is there any way I can specify AND and OR operators when using Advanced Find or creating more complex custom Views or Search Folders?
Over the years, I've created many archive files (I used to archive by month and then later by year as space became less of an issue).
I still use them as a reference sometimes and I'd like to combine them into one big archive as it is easier to manage and simplifies searching as well.
How can I merge them together?
I just installed New Outlook on my computer and wondered where exactly it got installed.
I don’t see it in the Office installation folder (where outlook.exe is as well), nor anywhere else in Program Files. The shortcut doesn’t reveal anything either.
How can I determine where New Outlook is installed and open the installation folder?
Sadly, due to an oversight when migrating my Outlook data from one computer to the other, my AutoComplete cache was lost and since I never added people as a Contact, my Contacts folder is heavily outdated.
I'm now going through my Inbox and Sent Items folder and right click on a sender or recipient and choose: Add to Outlook Contacts
This is of course a really slow process and I think I've learned my lesson by now.
It there a quicker way to review the senders and recipients and add them to my Contacts folder without creating a massive amount of duplicate contacts?
