When I’m using Outlook on the Desktop, it is quite easy to enable the option to request a read receipt.

However, when I’m using Outlook in a browser, I don’t seem to have this option.

How can I request for a Read Receipt when using Outlook on the Web?

I received an interesting message which I wanted to read later so I’ve let it Unread but now it is gone.

I’ve found out that it was recalled by the sender but I don’t think it should have been for reasons I won’t go into here.

Is there any way I can still get this message back?

I have multiple accounts configured in Outlook. When I create a new message, it automatically selects the sending account based on the folder that I’m currently in, instead of using the default configured account.

Is there any way to disable this?

Now that I know how to insert emoji into Outlook, a few things are still a bit unclear to me;

• How do I change the skin tone of an emoji?
• How do I change the gender of an emoji?
• How do I insert the profession emoji?

I noticed that Outlook now converts typed smiley faces in actual colorful smiley face emoji when composing a message.

That’s cute and all but there are of course many more emoji and more constantly being added. I therefor had the following questions regarding emoji support in Outlook;

• Which emoji are currently being supported?
• How do I insert these emoji?
• Are more emoji being added?

I remember that in older versions of Outlook, Meeting items in the Calendar had an icon of 2 heads on them. This allowed you to easily tell them apart from Appointment items.

Is there any way to get this back or otherwise have some other indicator to easily see what is an Appointment and what is a Meeting item?

For the longest time, I’ve been using Advanced Find and enabled its Query Builder to perform searches with multiple criteria and Boolean statements.

This worked quite well but I found out that Microsoft is removing Advanced Find from future Outlook 2016 releases.

How am I supposed to perform Boolean and multi criteria searches in Outlook now?

While I can export my own Contacts folder, I don’t seem to be able to export our company’s Offline Address Book or the Global Address List (GAL).

I need to import this list in another application and sometimes also use it for mailings both electronically and to their physical address which is stored in the GAL as well.

How can I export these Exchange address lists via Outlook?

Whenever I copy something from another email or application such as an Internet page and paste that in my message, the formatting never really blends in with what I have already.

Similarly, when I have some carefully formatted text from Word and paste that into a new message, a lot of formatting is lost or messed up.

How can I control the formatting of my pasted text?

I can do quite a bit with my keyboard when I’m processing my mail, but when I do anything with the Calendar, I tend to use the mouse for most of the things.

Are there some handy shortcuts for navigating the Calendar as well?
