Synchronizing email signatures between computers

I’m using Outlook on multiple computers and even though my emails sync beautifully between all my devices, my email Signatures do not.

While I could back them up and restore them manually onto another computer after each change, surely in the age of Cloud Based Computing there must be a better approach for this.

How can I synchronize my email Signatures between computers?

RSS folder structure sync with Internet Explorer

When browsing the Internet and coming across a website that I like, I often subscribe to their RSS feed via Internet Explorer and then it will automatically go into Outlook.

This works great. However, in Internet Explorer, I've grouped my RSS feeds based on their topic but in Outlook this just shows up as a long list and I'd have to sort it again.

Is there any way that I can have Outlook mimic the folder structure that I created via Internet Explorer?

Repeated password prompts and sync issues after turning off less secure apps in Yahoo Mail

I got prompted by Yahoo to disable access for apps that use less secure sign-in methods to get my email.

This sounded like a good thing to do, but now I constantly get prompted for my username and password in Outlook and it no longer downloads my emails and I can’t send anymore either.

I know my username and password are correct as they still work when I try to login to Yahoo Mail in my browser.

How can I re-enable Outlook to collect my email again, preferably by using the more secure sign-in method the original prompt was referring to?

Outlook, Windows RT and the Surface tablet

I’m thinking about buying a Microsoft Surface tablet but I’m left with a few questions regarding mail and especially in conjunction with Outlook as that is what I’m currently using.

  • I saw that the Microsoft Surface tablet comes with Office pre-installed. Does this also include Outlook and if not, can I install Outlook on it later?
  • If I were to use the Mail app, can I sync the Microsoft Surface tablet with Outlook on my Desktop?
  • Can I also sync my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks (To-Do list) and Notes?

Too many devices when connecting to Outlook.com

I’ve been trying to configure my Hotmail account (which is now Outlook.com) in Outlook 2013 via EAS but I get the following error:

There are too many devices syncing with this account.  To sync using Outlook, try removing another device that is connected with this account such as a phone or another computer.

Followed with:

Line: 97
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
FolderStatus: 177
To re-try press F9...
Error Code: 0x80004005

I’m only using my account on my mobile phone and Outlook 2013 on my laptop and desktop. I can’t find a method to remove any old computers which I might still have.

How can I fix this issue and sync my Hotmail account with Outlook again?

Should I use POP3 or IMAP?

In your previous tips you describe the process about switching from POP3 to IMAP and from IMAP to POP3.

I’ve always used POP3 in the past without giving it much thought as it worked for me. I recently found out that my provider actually supports both methods. So I can choose but that also brings my question;

Which one should I choose?

Formatting and attachments disabled for Notes section of Appointments, Contacts and Tasks

When adding something in the Notes section of an Appointment, Meeting, Contact or Task item, I noticed that the Format Text tab is completely greyed out and also most of the Insert tab.

I always used to be able to add Rich Text to this field and add pictures and other attachments to it but now it no longer seems possible. The Attach File button actually does seem to work but I can't access the files anymore after attaching.

What is causing this and how can I re-active it all again?
