Whenever I try to send a message, click on the Send/Receive button or when Outlook sends/receives by itself, Outlook crashes.
I can still use all the other functions in Outlook and Outlook works just fine when I place it in Offline mode. However, it would be nice to be able to send/receive some new emails as well. ;-)

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?

Outlook 2003 and previous showed a bell icon on appointments that had a reminder set to it. This bell icon was (sadly) removed in Outlook 2007. I was happy to hear that the bell icon is back again in Outlook 2010 and later

Now I just upgraded to Outlook 2016 and I still don't have the bell icon for my appointments that have reminders set to it.

Is the bell icon really back and if so; How can I make it visible?

I'm sorting my contacts in a list view (Phone List) instead of using the Business Cards view. With the Business Card view there is an alphabetic index on the right side which allows you to easily jump to contacts starting with that letter.

This index is not available in the Phone List view nor does typing the first letter of a name bring me to that contact (like it does in Explorer), instead it starts overwriting a selected name or adds a new contact.

Is there any method in making the index available in the Phone List view as well or make it jump through a contact by typing?
