Do not show all Activities

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?

This location may be unsafe warning

I’ve create links to files on my computer in the Shortcuts Navigation as per your previous tip. However, when clicking on those links I’m getting the following warning message;

Microsoft Office Outlook Security Notice
Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern.
This location may be unsafe.

Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your computer, click only hyperlinks from trusted sources.

Since I’ve created the links myself and since I’ve now seen this message countless of times already, I will never ever forget to click only hyperlinks from trusted sources. How can I make this warning go away for good?

Sync via thumb drive

My mobile phone allows me to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on my main machine. I’m using a laptop as well and the sync application allows me to sync my contacts and calendar information back to Outlook on my desktop.
Is there a way I can have this “plug it in and it syncs” functionality with my email as well such as via a thumb drive? I’m using POP3 and therefore I cannot sync all my mail folders with the server.

Compact Outlook Express prompts

I’m using Microsoft Office Outlook but I’m getting requests from Outlook Express to compact messages. The full prompts read;
“To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes.”

Why am I getting these prompts when I use Outlook and not Outlook Express and can I turn them off?
