I've set my Exchange account to "Always prompt for logon credentials" thinking that it would prevent people from being able to get to my messages.
However, I've noticed that when you simply click on "Cancel" when getting the password prompt, Outlook still shows all my messages.
How can I password protect my Exchange mailbox?
When right clicking on a Taskbar icon, there is a menu (Jump List) which contains application specific actions and/or a Recent list.
For instance, the Jump List for Word, provides quick access to files I've recently used and allows me to pin files which I use on a regular basis. Outlook however, does not seem to keep such a Recent list.
Is it possible to also get a "Recent items" list in the Jump List of Outlook for easy access to saved message templates?
I sometimes receive a message without a subject or with lots of unneeded text (like a big signature or a long list of previous addresses). I'd like to keep the rest of the message, and just strip that content or add a subject.
Is there any way to edit a received message?
When inserting a link to a file on a mapped network share, the link is automatically converted to a UNC path. So a link that used to be;
H:\filename.txt
turns to;
\\servername\username\filename.txt
In the above example the H:\-drive is the user’s home drive and the UNC path now points to the home location of the sender instead of the receiver.
This is causing us some issues as we often place personal report files on the user’s home drive and then send them an email with a link to notify them of this. Our Human Resource department for instance does this in bulk and sends out a standardized email to all of the users at once with the H:\-drive reference.
Is there a way to configure Outlook that the drive path reference to the mapped network share is kept and that it won’t be converted to a UNC path?
I've added a couple of wrongly spelled words to the custom dictionary by mistake.
How can I remove them again?
I'm moving from my old Windows 7 computer to a new computer running Windows 10. I've already restored my pst-file but that didn't include my signatures.
Where can I find them and how can I move them over?
I have my company's website address in my signature and it should be blue and underlined.
However, it shows up purple. In the editor it shows as blue and even when I recreate it, it shows up as purple again.
How can I make it stay blue?
I used to be able to export my Calendar as an ics-file but now when I start the Import and Export Wizard, I only see an option to export it as a csv-file or pst-file.
I’d really prefer using the ics-file format as it is much easier to use as a backup or for other people to import so they can see my availability.
How can I save my Calendar as an ics-file again?
When looking at my message list in the Inbox, sometimes the header information is shown on 1 line and sometimes it is on 2 and some even hold a preview of the message. It seems a bit erratic this way.
How can I have it to always show on 2 lines?
I've created my HTML signature in an external application and then placed the files (including txt and rtf versions) in the Signatures folder. This signature contains a picture and looks correct when composing a new message or reply. However, when I send the message, the recipient does not see this picture.
I've successfully used this signature for years with Outlook 2010 and the issue only occurs when I send a message with this signature from Outlook 2016.
Why is this happening and how can I make my signature work with Outlook 2016?
