Crash or no sound for Reminders window

Crash or no sound for Reminders window

Whenever a reminder fires, the Reminders window comes up and Outlook crashes.

I've already tried
starting Outlook with the /cleanreminders switch
and
checked my pst-file for errors with scanpst.exe
but the crash still happens whenever the Reminder window comes up.

What else can I try to fix this?

Sync Hotmail Tasks

Sync Hotmail Tasks

I'm using a Hotmail account and noticed that any tasks that I create in Outlook are not synced to the server. This means that my tasks also won't sync to my mobile phone nor my other computer.

I only have quite simple tasks, usually only consisting out of a subject and a reminder and sometimes a category.

Is there any way I can make my Tasks sync with Hotmail as well?

Inbox Repair Tool and Outlook 2010 Click-to-Run

Inbox Repair Tool and Outlook 2010 Click-to-Run

I'm trying to locate the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) for Outlook 2010 but when I look in the correct location, I don't see it there.

In fact, I only see a couple of files listed in the Office14 folder and even OUTLOOK.EXE isn't listed there.

Why isn't SCANPST.EXE or even OUTLOOK.EXE found on my computer?
Or even more important; How am I supposed to repair my pst-file now?

Unified Inbox folder for recent unread mail items

Unified Inbox folder for recent unread mail items

I'm using Outlook with multiple accounts configured. This is a mix of Exchange, POP3, IMAP and Outlook.com accounts so they each have their own Inbox folder.

This sometimes makes it hard to keep track of all the latest (unread) messages as it requires me to visit each Inbox and sometimes sub folders as well.

Is there any way to create a special view or Search Folder which combines all these Inboxes into a single list of (unread) emails?

Search Indexer add-in disabled (mssphtb.dll)

Search Indexer add-in disabled (mssphtb.dll)

I'm having some issues with the search function in Outlook and I think it is because the Windows Search Email Indexer is disabled.

I tried to enable it but Outlook disables it every time.

Why can't I enable this add-in and how do I get Search to function again?

Outlook 2010 and remembering last used snooze time

Outlook 2010 and remembering last used snooze time

When I set a snooze time for a reminder, the last snooze time is remembered for the next reminder that I get even when it is for another appointment, meeting or task.

So if I set a snooze time of 1 day for a reminder for a task and a reminder for my meeting for today goes off, the default snooze time will be set to 1 day as well instead of 5 minutes before start.

How can I set this behavior back to the way it was in Outlook 2007 and previous?

Folder or drive lock after saving attachment or message

Folder or drive lock after saving attachment or message

On occasion I save an attachment to a folder which I then decide to move to a better location. However, I then get the error that the folder is in use.

A similar thing happens when I save an attachment or message to a USB-drive; I cannot eject the drive and get the error that the device is currently in use. I then need to close Outlook for it to release the lock.

Is there any way to prevent Outlook for creating such a lock or to release it without restarting Outlook?

I have a message template (oft-file) which already contains a custom signature to match the template. However, each time that I create a new message based upon that template, my default signature also gets added.

Irregular recurring appointments and meetings

Irregular recurring appointments and meetings

For a project, I have a whole list of meetings to discuss our progress for the upcoming months. We meet every week, but the day and time is very irregular as it is based on our availability and we skip a few weeks due to holidays. Aside from that, the topic and people involved remains the same.

How can I quickly set up these meetings without needing to fill out the information for each meeting separately?

Browse Outlook folders like in Explorer

Browse Outlook folders like in Explorer

I've got many folders and sub folders in Outlook. I often want to return to a higher or previous folder from the one that I have currently selected.

Is there any way I can quickly browse to a folder which is one level higher or have a back/forward button just like I have in Explorer when browsing my folders?
