Outlook 2016 - Option to turn on/off Focused Inbox is missing

$

0

My subscription version of Outlook 2016 in Office 365 inbox has Focused Other. Which I do not want. Not sure why anyone would want it.

I went to the View tab and there is no button to click on to disable that new unrequested feature.

Anyone have a way to turn this off?

Outlook 2016 Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

I was sent from another Microsoft forum to this one because it says Microsoft has removed the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts in Outlook 2016 (thanks Microsoft for taking features away...PLEASE take a lesson from Apple and only ADD features), but I can't find any work-around on this post that was recommended.

Can't create Outlook message from other apps.

I have a new computer running Windows 10 1803.  To save money (this is County government, afterall), we moved the Office 2013 Home & Business license from the old computer to this one.  Office in general works fine.  However, the user has an business application that will allow her to e-mail a document image from the application itself.  The user reported that this doesn't work on the new computer.  In the course of troubleshooting, we discovered that we have the same issue in Adobe Reader.  When we run Excel and try to e-mail a spreadsheet as an attachment, we get the message "Mail system failure.  Check your mail installation."  I made sure that I could e-mail the same spreadsheet from with Outlook.  That works.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office multiple times, but it hasn't eliminated the issue.  It shouldn't be the combination of 1803 and Office 2013 as I have the same setup on my computer, though I have different hardware.  At first, there seemed to be an issue with Office 365 running instead of the 2013 apps.  (It wasn't preinstalled and we don't use 365 at all, so I'm not sure how this happened.)  I believe that's cleared up, but it didn't eliminate my issue.

I would appreciate any solutions you may have to offer.

Remove "Mark All as Read" button with Group Policy from Outlook 2013

Under the Folder tab in Outlook 2013, there is a "Mark All as Read" icon. How can I permanently delete this icon? I remember doing so with Outlook 2003 / 2007 through a Group Policy setting. Not sure how to take care of that with Outlook 2013...I think I need an ID code? I've tried right-clicking the icon and choosing Customize the Ribbon, but you can't remove the "Mark All as Read" as a single icon, you have to get rid of the entire Folder tab. Thanks!

Outlook Freezes when multiple windows are opened

$

Hey all,

I'm a I.T. Support in a consulting company.
Most Managing Directors have the habit of having multiple reply windows opened.

Their OST file are usually loaded with contacts with thousands of contacts and calendar entries.

Recent issue with Outlook is that it freezes when there are 5+ windows opened (excluding the client and calendar itself)

RAM Usage is fluctuating around 20 - 30%, and you the main client (Outlook and Outlook Calendar) will not respond to touch.

I've also performed Office repair and tried on a newly built computer to no avail.

What could be the issue here? Or is  this a known glitch on Outlook?

Thanks,

J

Outlook Emails Disappeared After Computer Maintenance

[DISCLAIMER: This post is long because it is a long story and I think that the problem is quite a unique or rare one, so please bear with me]

Outlook version of client's machine: 2007

Outlook version on my machine which I was diagnosing the issue on: Office 365

Hey,

I was working on an old laptop that had a fair amount of bloatware, and at some point the laptop needed a restart to continue the procedure. My "client" was closing Outlook so that the restart could continue, and during this the client was presented with error message of some kind, something like "could not be found", and Ifeel as if the word ".pst" was included somewhere in there, but I am not sure of this. They closed the error message and that caused the same error to pop up, but this time I think they clicked "ignore" or something similar to that. This allowed the computer to restart.

Once the computer switched back on again, I continued the procedure. My time for that day was up, and I hadn't finished cleaning the computer, and so I left for the day, only to get a phone call the next day that all of their emails had dissappeared.

I was completely shocked by this because I hadn't touched Outlook or it's folders, only removing obvious programs like the "Bing Toolbar" etc.

My client told my that when they opened the computer (this is the next day) Outlook opened up with error messages, and so they followed the prompts, and it was after this that they were greeted with an empty Outlook. I theorised that maybe the original .PST file was deleted or not being used, and so I checked the usual places and noticed that there wasn't a big .pst file there. I ran Recuva to try and locate the .PST file and found several, but only one that was 2GB in size. I imported it but this file was an old file, not having the recent emails. I dug around more and found a .PST file in the "My Documents" directory, 3GB in size. I was aware that files over 2GB were said to be very... volatile let's say, known to corrupt sometimes, but I'm not sure if this applies to the newer Outlook .PST files that are said to use Unicode instead of the ANSI of older .PST files. Anyway, I import the 3GB file, and again, this ones "Inbox" folder only dates back to the end of 2017, yet the "Sent Items" folder has emails from March of 2018.

I run SCANPST.EXE on the 3GB file, and it notes that there are errors (I believe it was 25 errors in the 19,000 or so entries). I repair, import, and again same results. Inbox of 11,000 emails, Deleted Items of 4,000, and some other amount in Sent Items, but all of the other folders are empty. Inbox stops at December 2017, Deleted Items at 2015, and Sent Items at March 2018.

Here is what I tried doing:

  • Opening it in 3rd party utilities (not using the paid versions, just to see if they would detect the missing emails)
  • using Microsoft's 2GB PST truncator tool that I managed to find on the internet somewhere (which didn't let me truncate because the file wasn't big enough apparently)
  • I went out of my depth by opening the .PST in a hex editor and trying to remove chunks manually, but that never worked, as SCANPST.EXE would just crash/stop/close suddenly after completing phase 8 of the checking, and by foregoing the .PST repaire and trying to import into Outlook would just cause Outlook to crash. (Note that SCANPST logs would show something about BBT entries not matching or something along those lines, understandably as I was deleting random chunks in the middle, hoping to try and get it under the 2GB or even 1GB mark)

I'm really stuck as to what to do, because not only was the disappearance of the emailsextremely unusual, but so was the results of importing the emails. The latest emails should date to May or June of 2018, and thereshould have been items in the other folders.

If anyone has any clue as to what is going on, I would really appreciate the help, and if you need any other questions, please just ask, I'm ready to answer them.

Thank you in advance,

Alakbar

Open Multiple Instances of Outlook with different Profiles simultaneously

Hi All,

I have 5 different profiles and can I open 5 different instances of Outlook simultaneously?

Also Outlook shortcut uses the /recycle switch because of which the same profile (opened first) will open when different profile is provided as an argument in the command line. Is there any way to suppress this /recycle switch?

Thanks,

Corrupt Outlook 2016 pst file.

$

I have four different IMAP accounts and I have all of them defined in Outlook 2016.  I have a problem with just one of them on one system.

System 1 - Desktop - Three of the IMAP accounts work fine.  One of them just stopped working on 8/7/2018 while I was using it, i.e., no new messages were coming in.  This is a private account that I have for business use and it has its own incoming and outgoing mail servers. I use its mail sever for input, but Comcast will not let me use it for output and so I have to use smtp.comcast.net for outgoing mail.  With this account I can send mail, move items into the IMAP folders, save a copy of the .pst, etc., but the account cannot connect to my input mail server. This account also has my calendar file, which I cannot afford to lose.  It is a local file only on this system.

System 2 - Surface Tablet - All four IMAP accounts work just fine. I  have no calendar on this system.

System 3 - Google Pixel phone - All four IMAP accounts work just fine.  No calendars.

So, it appears to only be the inbox for this account on System 1 that is not working. I have tried repair and it says it cannot repair the file. 

What I want to be able to do is do something with the inbox so that it will work, without losing my calendar file. (If this were a Linux system, there would be a text file somewhere for me to see the settings.)

If I output the calendar file to a standard format, I lose all of the non-IMAP information, e.g., categories, which is better than nothing, but I really need categories to distinguish all the different things in the calendar.

Looking for input on possible repair actions.

Thanks,

Outlook 365 ProPlus: What does "Searching for Accounts..." actually do?

Hey there!

I've reinstalled Office 365 ProPlus to use a different account (different email/license, same institution).

Afterwards, Outlook always recommends me to add the old email as an email address when pressing "add account". I really want to get rid of the old email address in my applications.

Therefore, I'd like to ask: What does "Searching for accounts..." actually do? How can I get rid of the old email popping of there?

Outlook 365 exchange Sync issues folder location

My Sync issues folder location is now a sub folder in Sent items folder. I need to move it to the main folder where it should be as Outlook connection to Dynamics 365 does not work.

On our other exchange users the folder is in the correct position and connection works. 

I have recreated my profile.  I have been in touch with Dynamics 365 and Outlook support for months.

Any ideas?
