I've got a fair amount of Personal Folder (pst-files) connected in Outlook and I wanted to add another one. When I tried, I got the following error;
"Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and try again."
My system has lots of memory (4GB) and still plenty of memory free but even after closing all other applications and restarting my computer, I still get the same error.
How can I open more pst-files?
Every time when I restart Outlook, the AutoComplete cache is completely empty again and no suggestions are being made when addressing an email.
How can I make Outlook retain the addresses?
I just installed Office 2010 and each time when I start Outlook I get an installer dialog saying;
"Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010"
It finishes this process and then Outlook starts normally but when I restart Outlook, this process starts all over again.
None of the other Office applications trigger this installer dialog; just Outlook.
How can I get Outlook to start without needing to go through this process?
I'm using an Exchange account but the Out of Office command in not showing in the Tools menu.
I tried customizing and resetting the Tools menu manually but the Out of Office Assistant still does not show.
How can I get it back?
I've configured my account in Outlook, and now all my emails have been removed from my web mailbox which prevents me from downloading them on my phone and tablet as well or check my emails via a browser.
How do I restore them back onto the server?
I sometimes receive an email message that I don’t need to respond to directly but do have some thoughts about which I want to write down and refer to it later.
Is there any good way to add a note to a message that I received?
I like the Instant Search feature of Outlook, but is there also a way to find an e-mail between specific dates?
Right now, I get too many results back and the Received option only gives me the pre-set option of today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, this year and last year.
None of them apply to my situation;
I know the name of the sender, I know some specific words and I know that it was between 3 and 4 months ago. Without setting the timeframe, I'm getting way too many results for it to be useful.
Is there any way I can do this query with Instant Search or do I have to use Advanced Find?
I’d like to enable the Automatic Replies (Out of Office Assistant) feature, but it really shouldn’t send out an Automatic Reply to various addresses, like for instance mailing lists which I am a member of.
How can I prevent Automatic Replies to reply to certain addresses?

This works well but the Reading Pane in Outlook remains white and creates a very bright contrast with the Black theme.
I read that there should be a Sun/Moon option somewhere to toggle the Reading Pane dark too but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
How do I turn the Reading Pane dark as well with the Black Theme enabled in Outlook?
