When searching in Outlook, I see a group of “Top Results” before showing all other emails relevant to my search query.
I find this confusing since some of these emails are quite old and are now shown at the top and no longer chronologically.
Is there any way to disable these Top Results?
For the longest time, I’ve been using Advanced Find and enabled its Query Builder to perform searches with multiple criteria and Boolean statements.
This works quite well but it can sometimes be slow to set up such a search within the Advanced Find window.
Can I also perform Boolean and multi criteria searches in Outlook without using Advanced Find?
I've added some additional Exchange mailboxes to my account but now I can't seem to remove them anymore in Outlook as they don’t show up in my account settings or the additional mailboxes list.
Right clicking on a mailbox and choosing “Close <mailbox>” produces the error:
"This group of folders is associated with an e-mail account. To remove the account, click the File Tab, and on the Info tab, click Account Settings. Select the e-mail account, and then click Remove."
As they are not listed there, how can I still close these mailboxes?
We need to make some changes in Outlook which requires administrator permissions.
I logged on as the administrator of the computer, but I still can’t perform the action and make the required changes.
How can I start Outlook as an Administrator on Windows 11?
When co-workers plan a meeting and are looking at free/busy times via the Schedule Assistant, they can see the details of any appointment and meeting if they hover the mouse pointer over the item.
Is there a way to block that?
We regularly send out meeting invitations to large groups.
To help us with planning the meeting, we keep track of how many people have accepted or declined already. We do this by looking at the counter provided at the top of the meeting item.
Unfortunately, these numbers often seem to be way off when compared to the actual responses given.
Why does this happen and how can we make the meeting response tracking more reliable?
I used to have a folder with a Home Page set to a website. This website now no longer works and the folder is opened instead.
When I open the Folder Properties, I no longer see the Home Page tab either to re-enter it.
Has the Home Page feature been removed from Outlook or is there a way to re-enable it?
I’d like to organize my emails into separate folders automatically but only after I’ve read them.
How do I create such a message rule?
I’ve been trying out the Clutter feature over the past weeks but I decided that it is not really helpful to me. I already move many of my emails by rules and I can handle the remaining emails that end up in my Inbox folder so needing to check a second folder sometimes is actually more annoying.
I’ve already disabled the Clutter feature and I’ve deleted the Clutter folder in Outlook too but it keeps coming back.
How can I completely get rid of the Clutter folder?
