How do I restore them back onto the server?

Virus scanner exclusion recommendations for Outlook

When I started Outlook this morning, it told me that it couldn’t find the pst-file that I’ve been using for years. It indeed appeared deleted and after some panicking, I found that it was luckily “only” quarantined by my virus scanner.

How do I prevent this from happening again?

Enable Automatic Replies for another user or additional mailbox

I've been granted permissions on some of the mailbox folders of my colleague. As he has become ill, I've been asked to enable his Automatic Replies (Out of Office) feature for his mailbox. However, when I select his Inbox folder and enable it, it only works for my own mailbox.

Outlook Notifications not showing in Action Center of Windows 10

I’m using Outlook on Windows 10 and whenever I receive a new email I do get the notification toast but when I open the Action Center, the message isn't listed there.

Can I add Outlook’s notifications to the Action Center as well so I can quickly see if I received any new emails while I was away from my computer?

Recurring Tasks don’t remind me again after the first occurrence

Recurring Tasks don’t remind me again after the first occurrence

I’ve created several Recurring Tasks to remind me of some daily and weekly chores such as taking my medicine, taking out the trash can and making (or actually checking) my back-ups.

However, even though I’ve set the recurrence correctly, I’m only being reminded for the first occurrence and then never again. My Recurring Appointments work as expected though.

Surely I’m overlooking something here as I assume Outlook is perfectly capable of doing this?

Why am I not getting the latest updates for Microsoft 365 Apps, Outlook 2021, Outlook 2019 or Outlook 2016?

Why am I not getting the latest updates for Microsoft 365 Apps, Outlook 2021, Outlook 2019 or Outlook 2016?

I sometimes see announcements about new features being added or fixes being made to Office 2016. However, I don’t seem to get them.

When I compared my build number of Outlook 2016 to the one of a friend, I saw that his was newer. I chose File-> Update Options-> Update Now and I got the message “You’re up to date!”

How can I force Outlook to install the latest updates?

Do not always ask before opening this type of file

Do not always ask before opening this type of file

When I double click on an attachment, I’m being asked whether I would like to open or save the file. I would like to open it but I don't want to answer this question again.

There is an option which says “Always ask before opening this type of file” which I want to turn off but I can't since it is greyed out.

How can I enable this checkbox and get rid of the prompt when opening my attachment?

Disabling or enabling Link Preview in Outlook 365 on the Web (OWA) and Outlook.com

Disabling or enabling Link Preview in Outlook 365 on the Web (OWA) and Outlook.com

When I type or paste an URL in my message in Outlook on the Web (OWA), some sort of preview is sometimes added with a logo and a description of the website or a still image of a YouTube video.

It looks OK but unfortunately, sometimes it doesn’t work and sometimes it is being added in the middle of my sentence after I’ve added an URL which is very awkward to say the least.

I now have the following questions about this feature;

  • How can I fix the links that didn’t turn into Link Previews?
  • How can I remove a Link Preview I don’t want?
  • How can I disable the Link Preview feature completely?

Installing a mix of different Outlook and Office versions

I’ve got an Office 365 subscription so I can install Office 2016, but since my company is still using Exchange 2007, I can’t upgrade to Outlook 2016 yet.

Can I install Office 2016 as part of my Office 365 subscription and a standalone edition of Outlook 2013 instead?
