I was using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Now I installed it on Windows 7, where I use the standard Aero Glass user interface (and would like to continue using it).
Now the toolbars and other internal areas in outlook (e.g. email view) appear in a baby-blue background. Only the outer border of the window is in the Aero Glass color scheme.
How do I change the background color of the toolbars etc. (get rid of the baby-blue)?
When saving an email message to a network drive, I get the following error;
"The message interface has returned an unknown error."
Instead of saving the message, a tmp-file is created on the network location. When I rename the tmp-file to .msg, then it appears to be the message that I tried to save.
How can I get rid of the error and have the message save directly as an msg-file?
I’m working in a large organization with an Exchange account and I recently noticed that everyone within the company can see my free/busy information.
I can understand this importance for a small company or a single department but to everyone else in a large company, I find that my availability is none of their business.
Is there anyway I can hide my availability completely or make it available to just the people I work with?
As a company policy, we need to delegate our Inbox to several colleagues as well so that in case of a holiday, illness or other kind of absence, they can still check if important mails are coming in.
I sometimes also receive messages at work from family and friends (which is allowed as long as long as we don't spent hours on our reply).
How can I configure Outlook that my colleagues do not have access to these items?
I have been receiving "High Water Mark Notification" e-mails recently but none of my e-mail accounts are anywhere near the maximum size.
I have cleaned all of my accounts out but I continue to receive this message.
Is this a real message or is it a "hoax" type message?
When replying to a message, my picture in my signature does not show. When I create a new message, the picture is visible as it should.
How can I make Outlook to include my picture in my signature as well when replying?
I’m using the Office Insider Beta version for Microsoft 365 and just got switched to the new look of Outlook 365.
However, within Outlook, it is no longer showing the Quick Access Toolbar and within Word, it is showing the Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon.
How can I reenable the Quick Access Toolbar in the new Outlook for Microsoft 365 and make it show above the Ribbon and within the Title Bar again?
