I’m using Outlook 2013 on Windows 8 and lately I’ve begun to notice that I don’t get any New Mail Notifications or that I get a notification long after I’ve already noticed that I received a message.
The emails are delivered to my Inbox and as far as I can tell, I have all the New Mail Notification options enabled in Outlook.
How can I get the Notifications as soon as new emails are being received?
I get an error message when trying to add an appointment to my calendar:
"The form required to view this message cannot be displayed. Contact your administrator."
What can I do to repair this?
For years I’ve been using the same pst-file with Outlook and it now has grown quite big (it currently is 5.6GB).
To speed up Outlook and backup performance, I thought about splitting up my pst-file into multiple files. As data will no longer change in these pst-files, I would no longer have to include them in my daily backups.
Is there any way I could split up my pst-file into yearly archives?
Since recently my calendar shows (2) behind it in blue.
Did I somehow copy my calendar? I cannot rename it back either.
Before my holidays I turned on Automatic Replies but now I cannot turn it off anymore.
Is there any other way to disable it again?
I’ve been granted Delegate permissions for the mailbox of my manager and want to send out a Mail Merge in his name.
I’ve done a test but it seems that I can only do a Mail Merge out of my own name.
How can I do a Mail Merge for my manager as his Delegate?
An update was automatically installed this morning and immediately stopped my send & receive function. When I uninstalled it, my emails started flowing again.
Does Microsoft know about it?
We're using a voicemail system that sends our voicemail messages as emails with VoiceMessage.wav attachments. As of lately I can no longer open these voicemail messages anymore and get the following error when attempting to open it;
"Can't create file: VoiceMessage.wav. Right-click on the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
How can I listen to my voicemail messages again?
We are using a customized Contacts form in Outlook for which we’ve defined some additional fields.
We now want to use these custom contacts fields within a Mail Merge. However, upon composing the message, these fields are not available for the Mail Merge from within Word.
How can we use these Custom Contact Fields?
I’ve been trying out the Clutter feature over the past weeks but I decided that it is not really helpful to me. I already move many of my emails by rules and I can handle the remaining emails that end up in my Inbox folder so needing to check a second folder sometimes is actually more annoying.
I’ve already disabled the Clutter feature and I’ve deleted the Clutter folder in Outlook too but it keeps coming back.
How can I completely get rid of the Clutter folder?
