While I love the completeness of Outlook, it does make some small things in the real world rather cumbersome in the digital world.
For instance, I have a paper daily planner on my desk which only lists the days of the week in columns. For each day, I simply write down a few words or lines to remind me what I want to do today or what I should do that day; this process takes only a few minutes to clear my head of things to do without getting distracted.
If I were to do this with Outlook Tasks, I need a whole bunch of clicks and open new windows, carefully clicking the correct day and basically lose my train of thoughts.
Is there an easy way in Outlook to emulate the ease of use my beloved “Daily Task List Planner”?

We're using an Exchange server but several of our clients are having difficulties connecting to the Exchange server. I've tried recreating the mail profile but then it cannot find the Exchange server at all. Disabling the client's firewall didn't solve the issue either.
Other users have no issues at all and I can ping the Exchange server from the troubled clients without issues as well.
How can I reconnect these clients to Exchange?

Over a period of time, we've been receiving emails with feedback information. We've collected these messages into a separate folder. Now we want to reply to these messages with the results of the feedback and a thank you note. Considering the amount of messages, replying to each individual message isn't an option.
How can I reply to all these emails in a specific folder at once?

I've been using the the "Ignore" button on some conversations hoping to get rid of some "noise" in my Inbox and created a "Move Conversation" rule on some other messages. However, some conversations went back to an interesting topic again and I want to start receiving them in my Inbox again.
I've looked at my list of rules, but I cannot find any rule in my list of rules which is responsible for moving/deleting this conversation.
How can I stop ignoring/moving a single conversations or stop ignoring any conversation?

At work we use Exchange where I have a mailbox and an Archive mailbox.
At work I can see both my mailbox and Archive mailbox in Outlook. As I also have Outlook at home (via Microsoft 365), I configured my work account at home as well. However, at home I can only see my mailbox but not my Archive mailbox.
How can I make my Archive mailbox visible at home as well?
