I've downloaded and installed the "Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook" but the toolbars do not display in Outlook after installing. Also, inviting someone to a meeting from within Live Meeting does not work and results in an error to check my email settings.
How can I get this add-in and maill integration to work?
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 often see questions regarding getting new mail notifications when Outlook is closed. Ironically sometimes they are requests about how to get them and sometimes they are complaints about how to get rid of them.
So, how do you get these new mail alerts or how do you get rid of them?
Every time I start Outlook, I'm being asked for the password of my Exchange account. When I configured my account, I enabled the option to remember my password but I still get prompted the next time I use Outlook and now I don't have an option to save my password anymore. Passwords for my other accounts are remembered just fine.
How can I set Outlook to remember my Exchange password as well?
Using your previous tip, I’ve removed some unneeded text from a message that I received (a long signature and some old replies). However, I’ve noticed that now the message actually is larger. I was expecting it to be smaller since I’ve only removed text and not added any.
How is this possible and how can I prevent this?
Whenever I create a new message, the associated window is really small and in an inconvenient location (half off of my Desktop).
How do I change the default size and position of the new message window such that all of it is visible on my desktop?
Outlook is constantly "synchronizing folders."
What is this?
How can I stop this? It's slowing down my computer!
Yesterday you blogged about the "Organize and Delete..." feature of Quick Parts. I cannot seem to find that option.
Can you tell in short how Quick Parts work?
I have a couple of rules configured already and today I wanted to add another one but when saving the rule I get the error that I don't have enough space for that. I just cleaned up my mailbox and I have enough space left in my mailbox.
How can I make Outlook to save this rule?
I’ve been using Outlook 2013 since it came out and I’m still quite happy with it.
I know that since then Outlook 2016 has come out and Outlook 2021 is the latest version that is available. Then there is also Microsoft 365 which apparently is always the latest version of Office.
With so many newer versions of Outlook, is Microsoft still committed to support my Outlook 2013 version or is it time for me to move on?
