After setting up Two-Step Verification on Outlook.com, I've been unable to connect Outlook with my Outlook.com account and am repeatedly being prompted for my password.
I know I am putting in the correct password as it still works when I try to log on to the website.
How can I gain access to my Outlook.com account again from Outlook without disabling the Two-Step Verification?
In Outlook 2003 when an item was flagged, and subsequently marked Complete, the email would show the date and time it was de-flagged and marked as complete. In Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010, it is only showing the date.
How do I get it to show both the completed date and time again?
I've noticed that my ost-file for my Exchange account is much (much!) larger than my own mailbox.
Aside from my own mailbox, I also have the mailbox of my manager and a colleague added to Outlook as I am a delegate for them. It appears that Outlook fully caches these mailboxes which both include a lot of large emails.
Is there any way I can configure Outlook to only cache the Calendar and Contacts folder?
I got the advise to reset some dat-files to solve my issue.
Where can I find these and what do they do?
When I create a new Contact in Outlook, I get the traditional Contact form which I also got in previous versions of Outlook. However, once I’ve saved an closed this form, I can’t seem to get back to it anymore.
When I double click on a contact in the Contacts folder, it opens a contact card which only list a few of the details which I can edit and a Notes section.
I get a similar contact dialog when I use the Search People box on the Ribbon. Annoyingly this contact dialog automatically goes away when I click somewhere else in Outlook.
How can I get back to the full contact editing form and have it stay open?
I am trying to create an email that has a picture set in the background like a watermark or a digital greeting card. I cannot find an option to do that.
Where is it, is it gone?
I’ve created Stationery for Outlook with the font we also use for our regular letters, advertising and website. This also includes font settings such as size and spacing. In addition to that, there is a logo and a background color.
This Stationery works great when we are creating a new email, but upon replying or forwarding a message, the Stationery is not being applied.
Is there a way to also have Outlook use our Stationery when replying or forwarding?
When I upgrade to Windows 8.1, which versions of Outlook are supported on it?
I'm using mulitple mail profiles. Is there any way to confirm which profile is in use at any time?
I see no indication in Outlook of which profile is in use. Exiting and restarting Outlook lets me choose which profile
to use but it doesn't tell me which I was using.
How can I get some form of indication for this?
With the latest update for Outlook 2016, I noticed that I no longer have the Advanced Find feature. Is this a bug or was this an intentional change?
I regularly use Advanced Find for search queries that I can’t seem to perform via the small Search box at the top of my message list.
Is there any way to to get Advanced Find back in Outlook 2016?
