I’m Categorizing specific items in my Calendar, Contacts and Tasks folder. For instance, in my Calendar and Contacts folders, I’ve made a distinction between Work, Private and Sport Club.
Sometimes, I want for instance to print out my Work Calendar schedule or a list of Contacts to hand out to a new member of our club or just my list of Garden chores to hang outside.
While it is easy enough to categorize them, I have gone through all the printing options, but can’t find a way to select which Category to print.
How do I print just one Category?

I personally use Skype as my default IM client and that also integrated with Outlook at home. At work, we use Skype for Business and there Outlook integrates with Skype for Business.
I recently upgraded my home computer to Office 2016 via our company’s Office 365 licensing and now Skype no longer integrates with Outlook 2016. When I log on with Skype for Business at home, I found out that it now integrates with Outlook instead.
Do I need the Home or Personal edition of Office 2016 for integration with Skype or can I somehow set which IM client should integrate with Outlook?

One of my accounts in Outlook went from “Trying to connect” to “Need Password” in the Status Bar.
However, pressing on the “Need Password” icon doesn’t bring up the dialog to enter my username and password. The dialog isn’t hidden behind Outlook either, although sometimes it looks like it opens and closes really fast again.
No dialog comes up either when clicking on the "Type Exchange Password & Connect" button nor when the Notification comes up that Outlook needs your password.
How do I get myself in a Connected state again?

When I use Outlook on the Web (OWA), and then hover with my mouse over a message, the following Quick Action icons become visible;
- Delete
- Mark as Read/Unread
- Flag
- Pin
I sometimes have a bit of a “trigger finger” and worry that I might hit the Delete icon by mistake. Also, as Outlook on the Desktop doesn’t support the Pin feature, I don’t use that either.
Can I somehow disable some of these Quick Action icons and assign other commands to them like Archive or Move?

I've added a couple of commands to the Standard Toolbar in the main Outlook windows and now it spans 2 rows. I like it like this.
However, when I exit the "edit mode" for toolbar customization, the Toolbar collapses to a single line again. I've tried to set the option "Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows" but that option is grayed out.
How can I make my customized toolbar show on 2 lines instead of 1?

I’ve set Outlook’s “Automatically wrap text at character” option to 40 instead of the default 76 but it doesn’t appear to do anything.
When I compose a message, the line still goes on forever and doesn’t break into a new line at character 40 at all. The same is true for the received message.
Why isn’t it working or what is this option supposed to do then?

I’ve pinned the new “Calendar Peek” to get the “To-Do Bar” back in Outlook 2013 but I’m still missing some functionality here.
The main options that I’m missing are:
- It only shows appointments of the current day
- Dates with appointments are no longer in bold
- I can’t “stretch” the area to show more months (Date Navigators)
- I can’t drag and drop emails or contact items onto dates in the Date Navigator to quickly schedule appointments.
Especially the first one is quite annoying. If I have a day with little or no appointments, I always found it quite convenient to see upcoming appointments for the next days. Now it just shows a big empty white spot.
Is there any way to change this and get that functionality back?

Looking at my Calendar, I see that several (not all) of my appointments and meetings are suddenly showing up multiple times (some even more than 5 times!).
How did this happen and how can I troubleshoot and fix this?
