I'd like to add a watermark to my message which says "confidential" as an extra visual reminder.

Does Outlook hold such an option?

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?

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?

Every now and then I receive an email message which requests me to send a Read Receipt. While I don't mind sending one, sometimes the timing is a bit unfortunate.

For instance, when I work late at night or quickly check my email during the holiday. Also, for one mailbox I'm only a delegate and I do not want to send out the Read Receipt for my manager.

Is there a method to easily see beforehand if an email holds a Read Receipt request or some way to send out the Read Receipt at a later time?

I have a very large mailbox and luckily my Exchange Online mailbox has a limit of 100GB so I have more than enough storage left for my mailbox.

However, the Outlook ost-file is apparently a lot more limited as I’m getting synching errors and my ost-file is “only” around 50GB in size.

I find it odd that they support 100GB mailboxes on Exchange while the recommended maximum ost-file size for Outlook is still 50GB.

How can I increase the limit for ost-files and make Outlook support larger mailboxes?

Upon starting Outlook I receive the following error;

"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I reinstalled Outlook but that did not solve it. How can I recover?

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?

I am facing an issue where my username automatically appears inside the body of an email I reply to or forward.

Whenever I hit on the spacebar as the first character to start editing or answering within the quoted email message, my username will appear as [John] in the email message.

Is there any way to turn this off?

It seems that the Deleted Items folder and the Junk E-mail folder of Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts get emptied automatically after some time.

Unfortunately, a message got delivered to one of these folders and since I wasn’t able to check my mail for some time, I never got a chance to move it back to my Inbox.

Is there any way to recover these automatically deleted emails somehow?

I've got multiple email accounts but I actually only use 1 address to send my mails from.

As Outlook always automatically uses the account that the message has been received with for sending as well, I need to change the account each time.

How can I make Outlook always use the address of my default account instead?
