Include subfolders when searching

Include subfolders when searching

Instant Search only works on the folder that I'm currently in or on the entire mailbox. I know I'm in the right project folder but it has too many subfolders to do my search on.

Is there some way to make it possible to search the subfolders for the folder that I'm in as well?

Junk E-mail Filter broken with blocked icon?

Junk E-mail Filter broken with blocked icon?

I guess my Junk E-mail folder is broken; the icon of the folder holds a "blocked" symbol (red circle with a diagonal line through it) so it looks like it is disabled somehow.

Why did this happen and how can I enable it again?

Rename your email accounts

Rename your email accounts

I have multiple email accounts configured in Outlook. By default, Outlook seems to name them after my email address which is quite long.

For all accounts, the first part is just my name and only the domain part is different (one from Outlook.com, one from Gmail and one from my company’s domain).

Can I shorten this to for instance “Outlook.com” or “Gmail” or even make them a bit more descriptive like “personal” and “business”?

Very big/small font size when composing an email

Very big/small font size when composing an email

Every time I compose a new email, the new message window shows very big letters.

For example, I can only see 6 English words on my 22" monitor. The font I use is Arial size 10. This is very annoying as I just cannot see my message clearly. I have tried to turn off everything in Accessibility and it didn't help. When I read email, then all is normal.

How do I get back to a normal size font again?
