I’ve got my Gmail account configured as an IMAP account in Outlook. I noticed that when I delete a message from my mailbox in Outlook, I can still find it online in Gmail’s All Mail folder.
Is there a way to set it up so that when I delete it from Outlook, it is also deleted from Gmail?
I've added some additional Exchange mailboxes to my account but now I can't seem to remove them anymore in Outlook as they don’t show up in my account settings or the additional mailboxes list.
Right clicking on a mailbox and choosing “Close <mailbox>” produces the error:
"This group of folders is associated with an e-mail account. To remove the account, click the File Tab, and on the Info tab, click Account Settings. Select the e-mail account, and then click Remove."
As they are not listed there, how can I still close these mailboxes?
I'm using the Rules and Alerts function extensively and I must have over a 100 rules by now to sort my incoming and outgoing emails.
For that amount of rules, the Rules Manager/Editor really is too small and cumbersome to use. For instance, there is no easy way to search or filter them and sorting/positioning them takes forever with pressing the Move Up/Move Down buttons repeatedly.
Am I pushing the limits of Outlook here? How many rules would you recommend and which alternatives do I have?
Upon opening a message in Outlook, it opens with the File tab selected. It used to open with the Message tab selected.
How do I change it so that the Message tab is selected when the message is opened?
As a response to What is Outlook synchronizing now?, the following was asked;
In which order does Outlook synchronize the folder when it is configured in Cached Exchange Mode? Can I configure this order?
When doing a Search in Outlook, I noticed that it by default only displays a limited amount of results.
While you can then click under the search box or search reults to display all results, is it also possible to always display all the results or customize the amount of search results which are be being returned?
I’m using an Exchange account and upon opening Outlook it says “Updating this folder”. After a while it changes to “This folder is up to date” and then to “All folders are up to date”.
Sometimes it also indicates which folder it is working on but not always.
Is there any way to find out which folder Outlook is synchronizing right now?
I’ve imported holidays into my Calendar folder and I’ve also added birthdays and anniversaries to some of my closest contacts so that they’ll be added to my Calendar as well.
While I really like this feature, they do blend in with my regular appointments and meetings a bit too much for my taste.
Is it possible to highlight or color code these events so that they are different from the other Calendar entries?
Looking at backup and restore procedures for Outlook, some instruct to use the Import/Export wizard in Outlook. Others recommend to use the original pst-file and warn that I could lose data otherwise.
What's the difference between an Import and using the old PST directly? What's lost or gained by using either method?
I often need to reply to messages with boilerplate text. Right now, I copy them from other messages, Word documents and for some I have set up some special signatures which include the message text as well.
Can I assume that Outlook has a better solution for this? If so, where?
