Sometimes I save received email messages outside of Outlook and store them directly on disk as msg-files. These messages are then stored with their filename only.

Even when looking at the properties of the file I can only see the date I stored it on the disk and can no longer see any details of the messages itself such as date received and the name of the sender without first opening the message.

Is there any way to view more details without opening the message or store these messages with more info than the subject alone?

I configured my account as an IMAP account and noticed that it will only download the message when I actually click on the message. This is actually quite annoying when I’m not connected to the Internet at that time.

How can I configure it so that it will directly download the message in full without clicking on it first?

When using Outlook and Skype together, I can see my Outlook Contacts in Skype. When closing Outlook, they are gone.

I have a POP3 account configured on my main computer and on my laptop. I noticed that it does not keep track of my read/unread status and other things such as Sent Items and other folder that I have. It also does not support bringing over the contacts and appointments.

I’m using Outlook 2003 on Windows 7 and when inserting a picture or file from or when saving a message to a Library, the Library shows up empty.
