For archiving or approving purposes (especially with drafts), we need to print out e-mail messages with the current date and time on it.

I believe Outlook 2003 did this automatically but Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 no longer do this. Instead these version only print with the sent/received date and no date at all for Draft messages.

Is there any way to “restamp” the date and time on a message when printing?

Lately, people tend to send me messages which are already flagged and have a follow up reminder.

Is there a way to disable these type of remote flags and reminders?

Every now and then I receive messages with attachments which need some small changes before they are ready (they get printed or forwarded afterwards).

I really don’t have a need to save these attachments to my disk as well but Outlook insists on saving them there.

Is there a way that I can save the changed attachments directly to the original messages?

We’re using Cisco WebEx for on-line meetings. For this I used to have a WebEx Toolbar in Outlook to directly schedule on-line meetings from within Outlook.

However, I no longer see this WebEx Toolbar nor does it show as a Ribbon tab in Outlook 2010.

How can I make the WebEx integration available in Outlook again?

I’m currently using a POP3 account but want to switch that to an IMAP account. Looking at my account settings, POP3 is grayed out so I can’t simply change that to IMAP.

How do I change from POP3 to IMAP without losing my current emails?

The following was asked as a responds to the previous tip about customizing the Contact Activities view;

I’m a quite frequent user of the Activities section for contacts and I was hoping that I could speed it up a bit by applying a filter to the view as currently come in just way to slow to remain useful. Sadly, the “Filter…” option is disabled.

Why is Contact Activities so slow and is there any way to speed it up?

When I look at the Activities of a contact, the only columns I see are for the item type (icon), the subject and which folder the item is in.

Is there any way I can modify this view? For instance, knowing when I received the message or when I had the appointment would be handy.

I have quite a list of RSS feeds configured in Outlook and while that works great, I do find myself getting distracted quite quickly because of it.

Also, it seems that Outlook’s send/receive process is getting slower because of the amount of RSS feeds that I have.

As my mail is my main priority, is there a way to configure Outlook in such a way that it will only download RSS feeds when I want to?

This might be a silly question but how do I print an opened Note in Outlook 2010?

In Outlook 2007 and previous, there was a print option listed in the menu which shows when you clicked on the Note icon in the top left corner. This icon and all options are still there except for the Print… option.

I’ve got a long Distribution List (or Contact Group as they are called now in Outlook 2010) to which I want to send a message to.

As I don’t want to use the BCC field and actually also a bit interested to to personalize the messages, I wanted to use the Distribution List as the source for my Mail Merge.

Is this even possible?
