I have quite a list of RSS feeds configured in Outlook and while that works great, I do find myself getting distracted quite quickly because of it.
Also, it seems that Outlook’s send/receive process is getting slower because of the amount of RSS feeds that I have.
As my mail is my main priority, is there a way to configure Outlook in such a way that it will only download RSS feeds when I want to?
I’m trying to save an appointment as an ics-file but it doesn’t seem to be working.
When choosing the Save As function, I’m able to browse to where I want to save it, name it and even press Save. However, when I then go to that location, the saved ics-file isn’t there.
I repeated the operation to make sure I did try to save it in that location, but again nothing showed up. I didn’t even get an error. I tried it with a different appointment and I got the same results.
Why can’t I save my appointments as an ics-file?
Apparently, somehow at some point I've deleted the Birthday Calendar from Outlook.
How do I get it back?
I often get double notifications for various new Emails and Calendar appointments or meetings. Usually these alerts pop-up within mere seconds of each other although some email alerts come hours later or only when I restart my computer.
I only receive the email once in Outlook and the meeting is also listed only once on my Calendar.
Why do I get these multiple notifications and how can I get only one again?
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?
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 access to a mailbox of our company which is only intended to receive feedback from external customers and not for internal usage. The mailbox was therefore hidden from the Global Address List.
I also have Send As permissions for this mailbox as I need to reply to these incoming emails but not with the From name of my own mailbox.
However, each time that I try to send out on behalf of this mailbox, I get an undeliverable message stating that I don't have permission to do so, even though I do!
How can I send out emails on behalf of this hidden mailbox?
I frequently use the drag & drop method to add an attachment to an email directly from Explorer rather than using the Attach File button.
However, as of recently, this method no longer works for me. When I try, the cursor turns into some sort of a forbidden/blocked/unavailable sign.
Is there any way I can reinstate the “drag & drop to attach” feature again?
I've got a Hotmail account configured in Outlook but I don't get an alert when I receive a new mail message.
How can I get this to work?
I often embed screenshots or paste Excel tables as pictures (Windows Metafile) into my messages and they look good when composing.
However, when the messages are being received, Outlook automatically resizes these images based upon the width of the Reading Pane making them impossible to read without opening the message and/or resize message window (which not everyone is aware of).
How can I prevent Outlook from automatically resize these images and force it to always display it in full size?
