Showing icons in To-Do List

Showing icons in To-Do List

I know the To-Do List contains all tasks and flagged items. However, from the To-Do List in the To-Do Bar, I cannot directly see what kind of item I'm dealing with; a task, mail or contact.

The To-Do List in the Tasks section shows the difference via an icon.
Can I make this icon visible in the To-Do Bar as well?

Receiving empty emails

Receiving empty emails

Lately I've been receiving empty emails, some even don't have a From, To or Subject field either. I'm not sure if these are just spam messages or if I simply no longer can see the message content.

How can I find that out and when they are spam messages, how can I block them?

Backup Add-in for Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016

Backup Add-in for Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016

I've installed the Personal Folders Backup Add-in from Microsoft and use it with Outlook 2010.

When I had it installed in Outlook 2007, the Backup command was in the File menu and it would also prompt me to backup my pst-files when I closed Outlook. For Outlook 2010, it does not list the Backup option in the File menu nor does it prompt me to backup when I close Outlook.

How can I use this add-in with Outlook 2010?

Msg-file details in Windows File Explorer

Msg-file details in Windows File Explorer

Sometimes I save received email messages outside of Outlook and store them directly on disk as msg-files. These messages are then stored with their filename only.

Even when looking at the properties of the file I can only see the date I stored it on the disk and can no longer see any details of the messages itself such as date received and the name of the sender without first opening the message.

Is there any way to view more details without opening the message or store these messages with more info than the subject alone?
