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...?
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?
I’m 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 work offline, I can still access my emails and folders in my own mailbox.
However, I’ve 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?
