I'd like to keep all my Outlook data in a different folder than Outlook uses by default. I therefore have moved the pst-file that Outlook automatically created to my custom folder.
I also have some additional pst-files in that folder which I occasionally use (and disconnect afterwards). However, Outlook keeps going to the default location when trying to create or add a pst-file.
Is there any way I can change the default to my own location?
I often want to forward an email to another recipient, having made some minor changes, but without it being obvious that the email has been originally sent to someone else.
Every time I do this, I have to delete the "Fw:" added to the subject and the previous header from the message body.
Can I stop Outlook from doing this?
Can I also set the inserted text color to match my original text?
While message rules can help to automatically file the bulk of your messages directly into the correct folder, processing your mail is of course more than just moving it.
Instead of using your mouse, you can move, flag, categorize, etc your mail via a keyboard shortcut which is often quicker (and more accurate when for instance in a train).

After composing my email, I changed my signature. When doing that it deleted all the text from the message.
What happened and how can I prevent this from happening again?
I've got some Quick Parts that I don't use anymore but I'm not able to delete them. The option "Organize and Delete" is grayed out.
How am I supposed to delete Quick Parts?
For most of the messages that I send, I’d prefer to keep a copy in my Sent Items which is also the understandable default in Outlook.
However, in some cases, I find it not really necessary keep a copy. For instance, when resending or forwarding a message or when a message only contains a (larger) attachment.
For these instances, would it be possible to have Outlook prompt me whether I want to save a copy of the message?
I have my email account configured on my laptop and when I'm at home, I use my Internet connection at home via WiFi to my router. When I'm on the road, I use my wireless 3G card.
The issue is that when I use it at home, in order to send emails, I need to set the SMTP server settings to my "home provider" and when I'm on the road, I need to set it to my "3G provider". This is quite cumbersome.
Can I configure my mail account with 2 SMTP servers so that I don't have to change it all the time?
How can I change the color of the subject text so that it will stand out a bit more at the receiver's side?
I am creating an introductory email with various links to resources. To make the links strike a bit more and give the introductory email a bit of an interactive look, I'd like to insert these links as clickable buttons.
How would I turn these hyperlinks into buttons?
I've got a long Distribution List (or Contact Group as they are called now since Outlook 2010) to which I want to send a message to.
As I don't want to use the BCC field and actually also might want to address the messages personally, I looked at using the Distribution List as the source for my Mail Merge.
Is this even possible?
