I have my Calendar configured in the Week view. At the end of the week, it really makes little sense to me to mainly see my meetings and appointments of the past few days. I'd much rather see today's planning and the ones from the upcoming days or next week.

Is it possible to always show today first when I switch to my Calendar folder?

I like the Instant Search feature of Outlook, but is there also a way to find an e-mail between specific dates?

Right now, I get too many results back and the Received option only gives me the pre-set option of today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, this year and last year.

None of them apply to my situation;
I know the name of the sender, I know some specific words and I know that it was between 3 and 4 months ago. Without setting the timeframe, I'm getting way too many results for it to be useful.

Is there any way I can do this query with Instant Search or do I have to use Advanced Find?

While I could use ALT+TAB to switch between them, the multitude of other application windows which I have open makes it quite cumbersome and also difficult to quickly select the correct one.

Is there an easy way to switch only between the open Outlook windows and messages?

When writing a message Outlook is no longer putting those red squiggly lines under misspelled words.

In Options, I’ve verified that the options “Check spelling as you type” and “Mark grammar errors as you type” are enabled but it is still not working.

It still works correctly in Word and Word and Outlook are the same version as well.

How can I enable spellcheck for Outlook again?
