Opening the File Browser dialog to attach a file has now become a 2-click process in Outlook 2016 because of the Recent Items list and the option to also attach files from Web Locations like OneDrive.

Also, on occasion I used the “Insert as Text” option to insert boilerplate text from saved files instead of attaching the file itself. It seems that this option in gone now too.

Is there any way to get back the “Attach File” button that directly opened the File Browser and had the “Insert as Text” option?

In Outlook 2010 and previous I was able to set a pst-file as the default delivery location for my Exchange account.

In Outlook 2016, I no longer see the “Change Folder” button when I select my Exchange account.

How can I still deliver my Exchange e-mails directly to a pst-file?

I personally use Skype as my default IM client and that also integrated with Outlook at home. At work, we use Skype for Business and there Outlook integrates with Skype for Business.

I recently upgraded my home computer to Office 2016 via our company’s Office 365 licensing and now Skype no longer integrates with Outlook 2016. When I log on with Skype for Business at home, I found out that it now integrates with Outlook instead.

Do I need the Home or Personal edition of Office 2016 for integration with Skype or can I somehow set which IM client should integrate with Outlook?

I've been working in a team on a project and now am ready to submit it by email with quite a few attachments.

I want to keep all the team members in the loop, but they obviously don't need all the attachments as they already have it.

Is there any way to send out this email to everyone but only have the people in the To field receive the attachments but not the ones in CC and BCC?

I know I can request a Read Receipt to find out when someone read a message that I sent. However, I'd like to know when I read a message that someone else has sent to me.

For instance, this would be especially useful to me for informational messages which did not require me to reply but are important enough to know when I’ve actually read it.

Is this information registered somewhere in Outlook or in a log file?

I want to send an email to all the contacts belonging to a certain Category but unfortunately, I can’t seem to sort or filter my Address Book by Category when addressing an email.

To overcome this limitation, I thought about creating a Contact Group for this Category but then I run into the same limitation when adding members to this group.

Is there an easy way to create a Contact Group for a certain Category aside from adding all the contacts of that Category one-by-one?
