Sometimes when discussing a date for an appointment, the days are not in the same week and I find myself going back and forth within the calendar to find a suitable time.
Is there any way I can capture these days in a single overview?
When I use the monthly calendar view in Outlook, I have trouble determining which day is today.
How can I make it strike more?
I’ve been granted delegate access to someone’s mailbox which is located on our Exchange server.
However, when I try to add it in the usual way via the Exchange account settings, I found that the option to add an additional mailbox is greyed out.
Why is this option greyed out and how can I add this delegate mailbox to Outlook after all?
When selecting multiple calendars in Outlook, it will automatically switch to Schedule View when I select 5 or more calendars.
However, I'll have to disable all the calendars again before it will return back to the normal view again.
Can I tell Outlook when it should switch to Schedule View and back again?
I’ve configured multiple email accounts in Outlook and several of them have a Calendar of their own. I’ve also created a few additional Calendars of my own to separate between the type of appointments I have (work, private, sport club, my kid’s school schedule, etc…).
Within the Calendar Navigation, I can easily get an overview of all my appointments by using the Calendar Overlay feature.
However, the To-Do Bar only lists the appointments of the Calendar from one of my accounts.
Is there any way that I can add additional Calendars to the To-Do Bar or switch between them somehow?
When I look at the Activities of a contact, the only columns I see are for the item type (icon), the subject and which folder the item is in.
Is there any way I can modify this view? For instance, knowing when I received the message or when I had the appointment would be handy.
I have multiple accounts configured in Outlook. When I create a new message, it automatically selects the sending account based on the folder that I'm currently in, instead of using the default configured account.
Is there any way to disable this?
I noticed that my older appointments get deleted automatically after a couple of weeks. As I'm using the calendar also as a log of where I've been, I really need to keep these old appointments as a reference.
How can I make Outlook to keep all my appointments forever?
When I receive a message which is marked with high priority, Outlook plays 3 loud beeps. As I often wear a headset, it really hurts my ears.
How can I disable this annoying sound?
Sometimes when I use drag and drop to organize emails they are being moved and at other times they are being copied.
Also, sometimes I drop them on the wrong folder (I've got a shaky hand) and then have to undo before trying again.
How can I get more control over this and find out in advance if they will get copied or moved?
