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?

I’ve been trying to sort my mail into groups by Contact so that I can see how much communication I have had with specific people over a course of time.
However, when I set my view to sort and group by the From field, it still creates multiple groups per contact such as:
- First Last
- 'First Last'
- First Last <name@domain.com>
- name@domain.com
And sometimes even various other groups. This is anything but useful to me.
How can I really sort my emails from a single contact together?

In Outlook 2010 on Windows 7, I was able to alter the “New Mail Desktop Alert” duration to up to 30 seconds in Outlook or perpetual via your mentioned Registry key modification.
Now that I’m using Outlook 2013 on Windows 8, the new mail alerts are only visible for 5 seconds and I can’t find an option to change that in Outlook 2013 nor does the Registry hack do anything.
Is there a way to get these mail alerts to show for longer than 5 seconds for Outlook 2013 on Windows 8?

How can I get the pictures to synch to Outlook.com so that they look the same on all my computers and on the Outlook.com website?

I’ve been granted access to several large mailboxes and Public Folders which I’ve marked as Favorite. As I’m also regularly off-line, I’ve configured Outlook to also cache this shared content. However, the result is that I now have a really big ost-file.
I was hoping that with the Sync Slider feature in Outlook 2013, I was able to limit how much was being cached and reduce the size of the ost-file. I’ve set the Sync Slider now to 30 days and it seems to work on my own mailbox but it doesn’t have the same effect on my shared mailboxes and Public Folders.
Does the sync slider affect these shared folders at all? If not, what alternatives do I have to reduce the total size of my ost-file?

After my mailbox got upgraded to an Exchange 2013 server, I now have the new Outlook Web App 2013 layout as well for reading my emails in a browser. However, I’m now missing my Search Folders.
I’ve already tried to recreate and re-upload them via Outlook as I also had to do for OWA 2010 but my Search Folders are still not visible in OWA 2013.
How do I get access to my Search Folders again in OWA 2013?

At work, they’ve implemented Unified Messaging for Exchange. A really cool thing is that I now can call a number to get access to my mailbox via Outlook Voice Access (OVA) and have my emails read out loud.
As I sometimes don’t feel like reading emails (like long emails or memos), I was wondering;
Can Outlook read my emails out loud as well?
