Can’t connect to a Shared Mailbox I’ve been granted access to
My colleague granted me permission to her mailbox but when I try to add it to Outlook I get the following error;
Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found.
When I try to expand the folder list, I get another error;
Cannot expand the folder.
She double-checked the permissions and even set it to “Owner” level but I still can’t access it from Outlook on my computer.
How can we make this work?

Large Exchange mailboxes and the ost file size limit
I have a very large mailbox and luckily my Exchange Online mailbox has a limit of 100GB so I have more than enough storage left for my mailbox.
However, the Outlook ost-file is apparently a lot more limited as I’m getting synching errors and my ost-file is “only” around 50GB in size.
I find it odd that they support 100GB mailboxes on Exchange while the recommended maximum ost-file size for Outlook is still 50GB.
How can I increase the limit for ost-files and make Outlook support larger mailboxes?
Focus Assist; Don’t let yourself get distracted by emails!
We all have these moments; You need to focus and don’t want to get distracted by anything for a longer period of time.
Alerts for incoming emails can be quite a distraction and those emails you thought only required a quick and short responds ended up becoming an essay or a back-and-forth conversation or just totally got you out of your rhythm.
Of course, you could close Outlook and all other applications that generate pop-up alerts or sounds, but did you know about Focus Assist already?

Exclude words in attachment content when searching
When I performed my search query, I got some unexpected results where the words I was searching for weren’t even included in the email.
Upon further investigation, I found out that these words were mentioned in the attachments of those emails.
How can I configure Outlook to only search for the words in the message itself and not look into the attachments?
Outlook Today missing in Outlook for Office 365’s new interface?
I’ve enabled the Coming Soon option in Outlook for Office 365 to test the new interface with a Single Line Ribbon and various changes to the Navigation Pane.
I used to be able to click on my mailbox folder (above Inbox) to open up Outlook Today but this seems no longer possible.
Has the Outlook Today feature been removed from Outlook?

Double new email and calendar notifications on Windows 10
I often get double notifications for various new Emails and Calendar appointments or meetings. Usually these alerts pop-up within mere seconds of each other although some email alerts come hours later or only when I restart my computer.
I only receive the email once in Outlook and the meeting is also listed only once on my Calendar.
Why do I get these multiple notifications and how can I get only one again?
