I noticed that my older appointments get deleted automatically after a couple of weeks. As I’m using the calendar also as a log of where I’ve been, I really need to keep these old appointments as a reference.

How can I make Outlook to keep all my appointments forever?

I’ve configured Outlook with my e-mail account and that works just fine. However, the mails arrive in a separate Personal Folders file and leaves the one above it (holding Outlook Today) empty.

Can I remove this emty folder set or otherwise configure Outlook to use it instead of the separate Personal Folder set below it?

I’m using the AutoArchive feature in Outlook to keep my main mailbox small and archive to a separate pst-file. However, my (huge) archive gets loaded each time when I start Outlook and slows down Outlook.

This of course counteracts the increase in speed I was aiming at with having a small mailbox by archiving.

How can I prevent Outlook from loading the archive each time and only open the archive when I need it?

I’ve created a signature with an image in it. Now recipients say that they always see a paperclip icon for messages I sent to them.

In some cases my signature image shows indeed as an attachment and in other cases no attachment is shown at all but still the paperclip icon is shown.

When I sent them a message without my signature, no paperclip icon is shown.

How can I create a signature with an image without the paperclip icon showing up at the recipient?

I’m using an IMAP account in Outlook 2010 and ever since I upgraded, I no longer get any new mail alerts (like a sound and the envelope icon). I used to get these alerts when I was using Outlook 2007 or previous.

How can I get new e-mail alerts for IMAP accounts to work in Outlook 2010?

When selecting multiple calendars in Outlook 2010, it will automatically switch to Schedule View when I select 5 or more calendars. However, I’ll have to disable all the calendars again before it will return back to the normal view again.

Can I tell Outlook when it should switch to Schedule View and back again?
