When I drag and drop an Appointment or Meeting from my Calendar into a File Explorer window or another messages, this Calendar item is being saved as an msg-file.

While this might make sense for saving emails, I’d rather save my Calendar items as ics-files.

Can I somehow change the drag & drop format for Calendar items to ics-files?

I used to be able to export my Calendar as an ics-file but now when I start the Import and Export Wizard, I only see an option to export it as a csv-file or pst-file.

I’d really prefer using the ics-file format as it is much easier to use as a backup or for other people to import so they can see my availability.

How can I save my Calendar as an ics-file again?

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now Outlook can’t send anymore. All the mail server settings are correct and interestingly enough, the test message is successful as well. The error message I get it;

Error message: 'Robert - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC13): 'Cannot connect to the network. Verify your network connection or modem'

How can I get sending back to work again?

Opening the File Browser dialog to attach a file has now become a 2-click process in Outlook 2016 because of the Recent Items list and the option to also attach files from Web Locations like OneDrive.

Also, on occasion I used the “Insert as Text” option to insert boilerplate text from saved files instead of attaching the file itself. It seems that this option in gone now too.

Is there any way to get back the “Attach File” button that directly opened the File Browser and had the “Insert as Text” option?

I’ve just switched to a new computer and configured Outlook with my POP3 account which automatically created the Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, etc… folders listed under my POP3 email address.

I’ve been able to reconnect to my pst-files (outlook.pst and archive.pst) via:
File-> Open-> Open Outlook Data File

This successfully imported my Personal Folders, but listed them in a separate section below the email titled section rather than merged them.

I then tried running the Import and Export Wizard, but it displays a window showing:

"The Outlook data file (.pst) is already in use in the current profile".

How can I merge my pst-files restored from my backup with the newly created folders under my email address?

I'd like to add a Business Card (vCard or vcf-file) to be included with my email signature but this also adds an image of it in my signature which I do not want.

I deleted this image when designing my signature but that removed the Business Card as well.

Is there any way to create my signature with the vCard but without the image of it?

It's great that Outlook automatically generates Birthday reminders for the contacts I create with Birthday information but, sadly, it puts a default reminder of 15 minutes before the Birthday. As I sync Outlook with my smartphone, it wakes me up at night.

Can I make Outlook remind me of the Birthday at a more appropriate time?
