I am tidying up large attachments in Outlook to reduce the size of the PST file.
In some e-mails the attachment is in the message body. These particular attachments cannot be cut, deleted or otherwise removed, since these controls are greyed out.
How can I remove these attachments?
When trying to save a message as an oft-file (when creating a reply template for a message rule), I don't get the option to save it as an Outlook Template.
How can I enable this?
In previous versions of Outlook, if I wanted to embed a link <a href=...>) to a picture instead of embedding the actual picture in emails, I would go to Tools-> Options-> Mail Format tab-> Internet Format button and in the dialog under the heading "HTML options" I would uncheck: "When an HTML message contains pictures located on the Internet, send a copy of the pictures instead of the reference to their location."
But this heading and checkbox don't exist in this location on Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010.
Has it moved to a new location?
It appears the option or feature still exists, as another user with Outlook 2007 that upgraded from Outlook 2003 who had that option unchecked prior to the upgrade sends mail with links instead of pictures just fine.
I'm guessing it was stored in the registry somewhere and was picked up after the upgrade, but how can I with a clean install have the same setting?
When I reply in Outlook 2013, I no longer seem to be able to insert pictures, create a table, change the message format, request a read receipt and a whole lot of other things which I was able to do in Outlook 2010.
Interestingly enough, these features are available when I create a new message or first open the message via a double click and then press the reply button.
How can I make all the features available when replying to a message as well?
For several contacts, the Notes field contains an overview of which fields have been changed. It appears that this new information is coming from the Global Address Book (GAL) of our company's Exchange server.
While in general this is great, it creates some issues especially with synchronizing to my mobile phone due to the phone number formatting and the length of the Notes field.
Can I disbale this automatic updating of my contacts?
While I love the completeness of Outlook, it does make some small things in the real world rather cumbersome in the digital world.
For instance, I have a paper daily planner on my desk which only lists the days of the week in columns. For each day, I simply write down a few words or lines to remind me what I want to do today or what I should do that day; this process takes only a few minutes to clear my head of things to do without getting distracted.
If I were to do this with Outlook Tasks, I need a whole bunch of clicks and open new windows, carefully clicking the correct day and basically lose my train of thoughts.
Is there an easy way in Outlook to emulate the ease of use my beloved “Daily Task List Planner”?
I’m using Outlook on Windows 10 and while new emails successfully arrive in my Inbox folder, I do not get a New Email Alert for them like I used to.
I did notice that there was a notification for it in the new Action Center but that goes a bit unnoticed. Outlook itself is still configured to “Display a Desktop Alert” but it doesn’t show.
Can I somehow get the old big alert and sound back when a new message arrives?
When I start Outlook, suddenly my monitor switches to a lower resolution, pretty much all the color is gone and gives the window a "classic" look. Closing Outlook returns everything back to normal again.
What's happening and how can I prevent this from happening?
Upon accessing the RSS folder I get the following error;

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
Yes No
How can I get rid of it?
I've archived an old pst-file to a CD and I'm trying to access it now because it contains data I need again. I've tried opening it in Outlook, but it won't let me.
How can I access my data again?
