I have just purchased outlook 2010 about a month ago and have already noticed that it is very quirky, and I am kind of disappointed in the performance of the program. I am a home user, and I like the functionality of Outlook as I am used to it from work and the ability it has to hold my contacts, calendars and emails all in one place.

Anyway, the problem I am having at this current time with Outlook is that the conversation function is not working properly. For a majority of my group emails (about 70%), the conversation feature works great and groups all of my "chain" emails between friends or family together (based on topic). However, I have been noticing a few email chains are not grouping properly. Sometimes outlook will leave one message out of the group or it just wont group the emails at all, and I am left with a cluttered and unorganized inbox.

I have done a lot of research on this already and have found nothing. I am aware of the fact that the conversation feature works off of the email subject line, and for the emails that do not get grouped in the conversation have nothing changed at all in regards to the subject line. All these emails are grouping properly on my iPhone as well, so Apple's software seems to be working with no problems.

Does anyone have any clue what else could be affecting some of my emails and emails chains from grouping with the conversation setting? Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

A simple question, or so I thought. How can I insert HTML code into an Outlook email?

Thanks

Good Morning,

     I was wondering if anyone had an explanation for why Microsoft Updates break IMAP connections in Outlook 2010 every month? It is not always the same KB, but it is always an update titled "Update for Microsoft Outlook 2010". This month (April) was KB2965295. Our environment is described below;

-Windows 7 Enterprise x64

-Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus (32-bit)

-Each user has 2 mailboxes. An Exchange Account for email and an IMAP account that connects to our Cisco Unity Voicemail Server.

After the updates gets installed, whenever a user attempts to open their IMAP account Outlook crashes and provides no error code.

Hi there,

This pertains to Outlook 2007. I would like to add a custom item to a context menu. It's the one that appears when you highlight some text in an email and right click on it, as shown:

I've added items to other context menus before, but I can't seem to find a way into this one. I haven't found a the CommandBar object that is shown for that menu. If anybody knows the name of that, and/or has an example of customizing it, I'd really appreciate it.

What I'd basically like to do is take the text that's highlighted, pass it off to a Sub, and have the Sub set what happens when sub-menu items of this custom item are clicked. For example, say the text highlighted is "project1", and it has sub-menu items "General", "Dashboard", "Gantt", etc. When the Sub runs, it would make General, Dashboard, and Gantt deep link into our projects in our project management software.

If this is not possible, plan B is to create a custom button that does basically the same thing, but it would live in the general bars on top of the view panes. I'd need to be able to dynamically set the label of the button so it reflects the current thing highlighted. In this case, I'd just need the name of the event that fires when text is highlighted (hopefully there's such a thing) so that the code doesn't have to run on a timer and bog down Outlook.

Thanks for reading! Hope this all makes sense. Looking forward to some expert guidance.

When I disable "Windows Service, Remote Management, Ports 135-139 TCP, 445-1434 TCP" on my DSL router, Outlook fails sending/receiving GMAIL. Google is adamant that the GMAIL service is not doing a reverse lookup or using IE's SSL service. I am trying to lock down my Development LAN (NetBIOS/SMB/RPC) and do not want this traffic broadcast to my ISP's designated subnet.

Thanks!!

Excel 2013 protection for cells containing formulae

Firstly, is it still the case in Excel worksheets that "locked" cells are only protected when worksheet protection is engaged? (I use Excel 2013, but the circumstances on which I am writing may have been subverted by later versions.)

If that is the case, I have a suggestion to improve this.

Only yesterday (28 June 2015), I had an instance, while using Excel 2013 to collect and tabulate the results for a chess tournament, where I twice accidentally overtyped a cell containing a formula despite these cells being "locked", which meant that one of the teams involved was given a lower score than achieved in one of the matches and, as a result was shown as finishing in a lower position in the table than if the data had been entered without error.

This was my mistake. During the event - which took place during the morning 10:00 - 13:00, but involved 11 matches (it was "blitz" chess) - I had reason to turn off worksheet protection to make a modification to part of the reporting system. I forgot to turn protection back on before entering more results, allowing the erroneous overtype to be possible.

If the protection system for cell formulae is still as described in my first question, then surely it is high time this was addressed, because mistakes can happen. On considering this question, I find it odd that in a tool as advanced and powerful as Excel has become, security of cell formulae is still at this same "primitive" level.

My suggestion is this: a locked cell should ALWAYS be locked, without the need for the separate action to turn on worksheet protection. This can easily be done, i) When a formula is entered into a cell, the protection for the cell should be automatically set to "locked"; ii) "locked" should MEAN "locked" - this security should be active immediately, so that the cell cannot be overwritten without requiring the user to remember to protect the sheet; iii) if the formula needs to be modified (or deleted), provide the means by right-clicking the cell and give access to a context menu selection to 'edit the formula'; iv) immediately the edit is finished, the cell is re-locked and cannot be overtyped.

This suggestion will render formulae secure without requiring the user to exercise a specific discipline which, in situations where data input is required to be undertaken quickly or under pressure, an oversight in engaging worksheet protection can lead to errors.

I have 4K emails that I have to categorize and then print for legal reasons.

Creating and sorting the catagories works fine. I can print to a number of PDF printers and get what I want but the attachments are not there. When I check to print the attachments it warns they will go to the default printer but it starts another print job.

Is there any way just to have the attachments print along with the emails in Outlook 2013?

Problem: Exchange Online user is unable to use Outlook 2010 SP2 client when they change their password. User changes their password by expiration or resetting it manually, resulting in the Outlook client failing to connect and then Outlook moves into "disconnected state".

Has anyone had a similar problem as described above? If not, any suggestions would be appreciated :)

How do we disable users from changing their Stationary in Outlook 2010 by using GPO?  The instructions from a previous attempt only disables the "themes" on the ribbon, but users are changing the mail stationary settings.

The instructions from this link are incorrect for disabling the stationary in the options.

If the above is not enough and the Theme, button needs to be disabled (which should not be necessary given the results of the above steps, we can set the below features in the office setup as “not available”
1. Set the feature state of “Outlook Stationery” (under Microsoft Office Outlook) to “not available.”
2. set the feature state of “Web Themes” and “Microsoft Office Themes “Under Office Shared Features to “not available.”

Hello,

Is there a way to expand drag and size the move copy to folder window that pops up once you select to copy an email to a folder??

It's very difficult to navigate in a small window when you have many sub folders with long names...

So I was just wonder if there is a way to expand that window so you can see the big picture and make it easier on the eyes?

Thanks

I am not sure if I am asking the question in the right place. I am using the Microsoft Outlook 2010, but suddenly the task bar which shows the links to Inbox, SentItem, Deleted, Junk is missing.

I am not sure how to enable that again.

Running Outlook 2013 with a cached exchange mode setting of 6 months. 

Issue is if I search for data outside of the 6 months I receive zero results.  I do get the link stating more data is available on exchange and if I click that link search will not search any of the new data that was just downloaded to the mailbox. 

It seems that search within outlook is limited to the OST.  is this true?  I have been unable to find any MS documentation that states this.

Today when I started my laptop having Windows 8.1 installed. I got a message that there is a pending update and I need to restart my machine. So, I restarted my laptop. And after restarting, when I start my Incredimail it is not starting and opening up and no message even pops up. Now I am in mess and I need to access my Incredimail emails. What should I do.

Now seeing this I prefer to move my old Incredimail to Outlook. So, that in future I should not loose my emails again.

Incredimail support sucks :(

Some members of my office are currently using increidmail as their main e-mail source. However, since we purchased Office 2010, many of them would like to switch to outlook. What ways are there to convert incredimail e-mail files over to outlook.

I have a problem with my Outlook 2013 appointments, the appointment window is visible in taskbar preview thumbnail but is otherwise invisible.

I'm running Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 Pro + latest updates. I did a "Switch User" in Windows 8.1 and left Outlook running in the original user account with an appointments window open. When I signed out of the second user account and logged back in to the original user account the appointments window would not come to the fore.

This is very frustrating as I can't create a new appointment or amend existing ones.

Disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Outlook 2013 hasn't helped.

Note for MSFT: This is similar to my posting here when the same thing happened with Reminders and Steve Fan kindly posted a solution: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/f00e895a-15f8-4619-8545-6ac4ad40ec2d/outlook-2013-reminders-window-is-visible-in-taskbar-preview-thumbnail-but-is-otherwise-invisible?forum=outlook

It appears to be a bug in Outlook and very frustrating as I have no way of acknowledging reminders and they are just building up.
