I bought a sheet of paper with self-sticking labels and was hoping to be able to print label stickers for envelopes with addresses from Contacts that I store within Outlook.

However, now that I have them, I have no clue where to start and how to make sure that the addresses will be properly aligned on my sheet of label paper.

Do I need special software for this or can I print on this label sheet directly from within Outlook?

On occasion, I receive emails which are sent to multiple people. To keep the conversation intact, I use the Reply All button to respond. Only afterwards, I realized that I was only a BCC recipient in the original message and thus I now revealed myself to the rest, which the original sender obviously did not want.

As this can be quite embarrassing, not only to me but also to the original sender, is there any way that Outlook can warn me that I was only a BCC recipient for the email?

I have lots of contacts in Outlook and I am looking for a way to update some contact fields so they will be more consistent. For instance, I’m looking to update the following properties;

• For some contacts I’ve entered “AVE” and for other “Avenue”. I want this to be “Avenue” for everyone.
• For some contacts I’ve included the country code in their phone number and I’d like to remove that.
• Change the email address domain of several contacts as their company changed its name and has a new domain name.

How can I achieve these changes without modifying all contacts one-by-one?

I used to have a POP3 account for which I always had to backup the pst-file and I had no issues with restoring it when I needed it.

Now that I have switched to Outlook.com, I no longer have a pst-file but an ost-file.

I tried opening the ost-file, to test whether I could restore it, but Outlook doesn’t let me and expects a pst-file.

• Do I still need to make backups?
• What is the best way to backup and restore my Outlook.com mailbox?
• How do I convert this ost-file into a pst-file?

I’d like to use Outlook just for managing my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks and don’t want to use it for email.

However, when I start Outlook, it insists that I add an email account.

Can I use Outlook without an email account?

I’ve been looking for an option to add a Holiday Calendar to my Exchange mailbox in a similar way to the Birthday Calendar, which displays as a separate folder in Outlook. I haven’t found out how to do it though.

Is there a way to add a separate Holiday Calendar to my Outlook Calendar as well?

I used to have a folder with a Home Page set to a website. This website now no longer works and the folder is opened instead.

When I open the Folder Properties, I no longer see the Home Page tab either to re-enter it.

Has the Home Page feature been removed from Outlook or is there a way to re-enable it?

This is another one of my favorite “hidden” features in Outlook;

You probably know already that you can move emails by using Quick Steps but did you also know that you can use that very same Quick Step to open and go to that folder?

In the regular Outlook for Desktop, I’ve successfully disabled the option to automatically mark messages as read.

However, occasionally, I use Outlook on the Web (OWA) as well and it doesn’t seem to pick up the setting as configured in Outlook.

How can I prevent Outlook on the Web to automatically mark my emails as read?

We’re using Outlook with Kerio Connect for which we also installed the Outlook Connector.

In previous versions of Outlook, we could add the account via a manual account setup procedure but our version of Outlook has a new Add Account dialog which no longer lets you select to add a Kerio Connect account.

How should I add my account now?
