We have a shared Calendar in which there are several recurring appointments with organizers that are no longer in the company.
How can I locate all these appointments/meetings and change the meeting owner to somebody else?
I organize my Contacts folder by Category. Each time when I access that folder, every Category group is expanded, no matter how carefully I compress the Category groups or arrange them.
I prefer to have some Category groups always expanded and others always collapsed.
Is there any way to keep these Category groups collapsed?
People with multiple mailboxes or a lot of folders can have quite a busy Navigation Pane and therefore also tends to look after it a bit more.
Some of these people would like to keep everything collapsed for a cleaner and less jumpy Outlook interface. Others like to keep everything expanded so that they can easily reach each folder.
Sometimes it looks like Outlook has a mind of its own and keeps expanding and collapsing your folders whenever it pleases.
How exactly does it behave and how to keep all folders collapsed/expanded during and between Outlook sessions?
I've got a list of notes in Outlook's Notes folder which I would like to print. However, as these notes are quite short, I wish to save some paper and print multiple notes on a single page.
I've tried selecting all the notes that I would like to print and then use the print option, but this does still make Outlook to print each note to a separate page.
How can I print my notes the way I want them to?
Looking at my Calendar folders, I see that they are grouped in My Calendars, Other Calendars, Shared Calendars and Rooms. I see similar groups for my Contacts folders.
While this adds some structure, I still sometimes lose the overview in my long list of additional Calendar and Contacts folders.
Is there a way to also organize them by project, colleagues, department, etc...?
This is another one of my favorite "hidden" features in Outlook;
You probably know already that you can move emails by using Quick Steps but did you also know that you can use that very same Quick Step to open and go to that folder?
Outlook currently checks for new emails with intervals of 30 minutes which doesn't really work for me.
I'd like to increase this frequency to every 5 minutes but I can't find out how to do it. I've check about everywhere in my Account Settings and went through many options as well.
Where can I set how often Outlook should look for new messages?
Iβm using the AutoArchive function in Outlook to clean up the older items in my mailbox.
However, I noticed that some old emails are still in my mailbox even though their received date is from before the archive date. Apparently, the archive feature looks at the Modified date of a message rather than the Received date.
How can I archive based on the Received date instead of the Modified date?
Outlook is showing that it is working Offline. Strangely enough, sometimes messages still do come in.
Why is this and how can I properly set it back Online and reconnect to the server again?
When I double click on an Excel attachment, Excel opens but it doesn't open the spreadsheet or I get an error. Other attachments open just fine.
How can I fix this?
