In the To-Do List or Task List, I can see when a specific task is due. However, for planning purposes, I'd much rather want to know how many days I've got left before the task needs to be completed.
Is there any way to add a "Days Left" column?
Upon converting a message from HTML to Plain Text or when trying to past HTML content in a Plain Text message, I used to get a Compatibility Checker dialog informing me which changes would be made to the text such as that pictures and formatting will be lost.
There was also a "Don't show this dialog box again" option which somehow (some time) got selected and now I don't get this dialog anymore.
Is there any way to get this dialog back?
I'm using a Gmail IMAP account with outlook, and I noticed that the categories option is not available; there is no way to categorize anything.

We all have these moments; You need to focus and don’t want to get distracted by anything for a longer period of time.
Alerts for incoming emails can be quite a distraction and those emails you thought only required a quick and short responds ended up becoming an essay or a back-and-forth conversation or just totally got you out of your rhythm.
Of course, you could close Outlook and all other applications that generate pop-up alerts or sounds, but did you know about Focus Assist already?
I've received an attachment and when I double click in order to open it, Outlook prompts me which application I want to open it with.

I like the concept of making it more clear which emails are from my contacts and which aren’t but I don’t like to move these emails out of my Inbox as explained in: Move emails from unknown Contacts out of your Inbox folder.
Can I highlight emails from my known Contacts in my Inbox folder instead?
Funny enough, I do see my Notes folder in the Mail section in Outlook on the Web (OWA), but I can't seem to create a new one or modify any of my existing Notes.
How do I do this?
In this Quick Tip, you talk about how to add a vCard (vcf-file) to your signature without an image. I actually like the business card I have created and I would to use it as my signature but don’t like to add a vcf-file to each outgoing message as well.
So I was wondering; how can I achieve the reverse and add that image to my signature without adding a vcf-file?
I'm using both Outlook and a special website to keep track of my favorite websites via RSS Feeds. I have a couple of subscriptions in both Outlook and the web interface which I need to copy over so that all the subscriptions are in sync again.
How can I get these subscriptions over without having to retype each subscription address?
