Sender’s name contains specific text rule

Sender’s name contains specific text rule

I'm receiving messages from a digest list in which the From email address is always the same, but the actual display name is different and identifies which actual group it is coming from.

When creating a rule with the condition "with specific words in the sender's address" it only looks at the email address itself and not at the "friendly name".

Is there also a way to create a rule which looks at the friendly name instead of the actual email address?

Single account with 2 different SMTP servers

Single account with 2 different SMTP servers

I have my email account configured on my laptop and when I'm at home, I use my Internet connection at home via WiFi to my router. When I'm on the road, I use my wireless 3G card.

The issue is that when I use it at home, in order to send emails, I need to set the SMTP server settings to my "home provider" and when I'm on the road, I need to set it to my "3G provider". This is quite cumbersome.

Can I configure my mail account with 2 SMTP servers so that I don't have to change it all the time?

After installing an update for Outlook, I'm encountering some strange issues with Outlook which I think are directly related to the update and not to any other Outlook issue.

Cache only Calendar and Contacts of a Shared Mailbox but not Emails

Cache only Calendar and Contacts of a Shared Mailbox but not Emails

I've noticed that my ost-file for my Exchange account is much (much!) larger than my own mailbox.

Aside from my own mailbox, I also have the mailbox of my manager and a colleague added to Outlook as I am a delegate for them. It appears that Outlook fully caches these mailboxes which both include a lot of large emails.

Is there any way I can configure Outlook to only cache the Calendar and Contacts folder?
