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 2016 with Kerio Connect for which we also installed the Outlook Connector.

Up until recently, we could add the account via a manual account setup procedure but Outlook 2016 now 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?

Outlook can find emails with one or more attachments by specifying the “Has Attachments” option.

But how can I search for a specific type of attached file?
e.g. search for emails having .docx, .pdf, .xlsx or .zip files etc.

Is it also possible to only search for text within an attachment and not within the message body?

When I use my Outlook.com account via the browser rather than in Outlook, I seem to miss some basic features or I simply can’t seem to find them.

For instance, how can I Forward a message or use Reply All?

Also, I can’t seem to find the Printing option. I’ve tried printing with the printing feature from my browser, but that looks very ugly as it simply prints the entire screen.

Where can I find these commands?

With the latest update for Outlook 2016, I noticed that I no longer have the Advanced Find feature. Is this a bug or was this an intentional change?

I regularly use Advanced Find for search queries that I can’t seem to perform via the small Search box at the top of my message list.

Is there any way to to get Advanced Find back in Outlook 2016?

When I use Outlook on the Web (OWA), and then hover with my mouse over a message, the following Quick Action icons become visible;

• Delete
• Mark as Read/Unread
• Flag
• Pin

I sometimes have a bit of a “trigger finger” and worry that I might hit the Delete icon by mistake. Also, as Outlook on the Desktop doesn’t support the Pin feature, I don’t use that either.

Can I somehow disable some of these Quick Action icons and assign other commands to them like Archive or Move?

When I receive an email and select its attachment, Outlook automatically switches to the Attachments tab.

I hardly use any of the commands on the Attachments tab and I much rather like to stay on the more useful Home or Message tab so that I can directly Reply, Categorize, Archive, Move, apply a Quick Step, or whatever without the need for an extra click.

Can I make Outlook stay on the Home or Message tab when I select an attachment?

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?
