I have multiple address lists in Outlook;
When I bring up the Address Book in Outlook, by default it shows our internal list. However, I work a lot more with my business contacts in my Contacts folder.
Is there a way I can make my own Contacts folder the default?
When I select the Activities tab of a contact, it shows me all the Activities as it should. With the "Show" dropdown list I can select which type of Activities I can see (mails, appointments, notes, etc...). So far so good.
The trouble is, is that I get too much information when I select "E-mail" option. Right now it is searching through my entire mailbox but I only need it to search some specific folders.
Is there any way I can change this?
Each time I start up Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista I get a password prompt.
How can I make Outlook to remember my password?
I'm using an Exchange account and also have a Shared Mailbox configured in my Outlook. All works fine except that when I delete messages from this mailbox, the items are moved to my Deleted Items folder instead of the Shared Mailbox.
How can I configure this?
I have a couple of Search Folders configured such as for “Unread Mail” and “For Follow Up” and they usually work great.
Unfortunately, sometimes these Search Folders stop from updating and show in italics. I then need to click on them to reactivate them.
Why is this happening and how can I keep my Search Folders active?
I remember that in older versions of Outlook, Meeting items in the Calendar had an icon of 2 heads on them. This allowed you to easily tell them apart from Appointment items.
Is there any way to get this back or otherwise have some other indicator to easily see what is an Appointment and what is a Meeting item?
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...?
Is there a way to use Windows Desktop Search only for Outlook and not use the rest of the searching capabilities?
I find it usefull for Outlook but have no need to index the rest of my data on my machine.
In Outlook 2003 and previous the Task Pad only listed my tasks. I also used flagging to mark some messages. Now in Outlook 2007 these are all combined in the To-Do Bar.
How do I get the Task Pad back?
I prefer to use the Calendar in the Month view but then it doesn’t display all my appointments for a specific day. Instead, it shows a grey arrow icon on which you have to click to show all the appointments but this takes you to the Day view.
Is there any way to get all the appointments to show in the Month view?
