When I work offline, I can still access my emails and folders in my own mailbox.
However, Iβve also got access to additional mailboxes and shared mail folders but these are only available when on-line.
Can I also somehow cache these folders?
When starting Outlook, I get the following error message;
"Outlook could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable."
Where can I find this variable and what exactly should I check?
When flagging messages for Follow Up with a Reminder, I do not get any reminder pop-up for it.
Is my reminder service broken?
When I have Outlook running but work in another application, sometimes Outlook suddenly pops up taking the forground.
Aside from this being quite annoying, this also means that when I'm typing, the text is sent to Outlook and not to the application I'm working in at that time.
Is there a way that I can keep Outlook in the background while working in another application?
On occasion, it could happen that message tracking is not working correctly and responses are not automatically recorded in Outlook. You could still process and track those responses manually then to still have an up-to-date reference on who is coming and who is not.
This method also works for when you got an answer to a meeting invitation via telephone, at the water cooler or via any other means besides Outlook.
I'm trying to use the tracking feature to ensure my mail is actually being delivered. In the Message Options, I selected the option "Request a delivery receipt for this message". In the on-line help for Outlook it says that this tracking information should be shown when opening the sent item. However, I see no such information within my sent item.
I've then tried it with a "Read receipt" and although I do get a message back, I still don't see any tracking information within the sent item.
How can I see if my message was read or delivered successfully within the sent item?
When I tried to mark a message a Junk, I got the following error;
"An error occurred processing your Junk E-mail list. You are over the size limit allowed at the server. Contact your server administrator."
What is this limit and how can I continue to fight spam?
When I forward or reply an email in Outlook, I can no longer see by looking at the orignal email that I have forwarded it or replied to it.
How do I get that back?
Iβve adjusted the time scale in the Calendar (Iβve set it to 15 minutes), so that my work time hours completely fill the visible Calendar area on my screen.
Now some of my longer appointments are just big blobs of color.
Is there anyway to fill this space with some more meaningful info such as the notes I wrote in the appointment?
I'm using the Journal feature of Outlook to keep a sort of diary. Pretty much all of the Entry Types in the diary is for computer related stuff.
How can I add things like; shopping, sports, home repairs, etc...?
At work I could use an Entry Type "errands" as well.
