I've got several message templates stored in the Drafts folder which I use on a frequent basis. However, whenever I open the template from the Drafts folder and send it, it is removed from the Drafts folder.
Can I configure Outlook to always leave a copy of the template in the Drafts folder?
I need to send someone some contact details but those contact details need to be in the message text and not send as an attachment (I don't know if the receiver can open vcf- or msg-files).
How can I quickly insert these details?
I've sent out a meeting request but some recipients complained that the message was empty. I know that at least one of them is not using Outlook but Mozilla Thunderbird. I use Outlook 2010 myself.
Is there anything I can do to solve this other than sending out regular email messages with the meeting details instead of actual meeting requests?
I use the Signature feature in Outlook to build an email with standard responses.
For example, depending on the response needed, I can select Signature #1 and #3 for one email, and Signature #1, #2, and #4 for another email.
Now when I try to do this, the original Signature is removed and replaced with the Signature I just selected.
How can I make the Signatures stay so that I can build my email from these templates?
I sometimes receive a message without a subject or with lots of unneeded text (like a big signature or a long list of previous addresses). I'd like to keep the rest of the message, and just strip that content or add a subject.
Is there any way to edit a received message?
Iβm quite a fervent user of templates such as Quick Parts and AutoText, however, I have a feeling that something is missing.
I seem to recall that when I for instance typed my name βJane Doeβ, after typing Jane I just hit the ENTER key and it automatically typed out Doe for me. The same with my address, I just typed the number of my street and it automatically completed it.
Did I somehow turn off this feature? How do I get it back?
I've created a distribution list to send out a mailing and to hide the addresses from each other. However, when the message got delivered, it still showed all the email addresses.
Other newsletters I receive also use a distribution list and then the addresses are not exposed.
How can I make Outlook not to expose these addresses either?
I'm having a problem with Outlook sending multiple copies of some emails - usually those with attachments.
It doesn't happen with every email with attachments, just occasionally. It will send it 20-30 times but keeps the email in my Outbox saying that it hasn't been sent (although sometimes it says it's been sent but stays in the Outbox).
How can I solve this and make sure Outlook only sends out one copy again?
When starting Outlook, every time I need to go through some installation process before it actually opens. Sometimes this also happens when I open a message or do something else.
Why is Outlook doing this and how can I make it go away?
Recently, some emails that I receive are directly delivered to the Deleted Items folder instead of being delivered to the Inbox.
I also fear that some messages are even permanently deleted without me knowing.
Why does this happen and how can I get everything delivered to my Inbox again?
