    Inconsistent view of To-Do List

    This is kind of related to my other post here. My To-Do list in the main Outlook window (not the To-Do bar) sometimes unexpectedly shows different views. Sometimes it shows a view that has the exact same conditional formatting and filtering as my To-Do bar. In that case, the view options...

    Different views for To-Do List and To-Do Bar

When I view the To-Do List using the Tasks folder and choosing the To-Do List, it applies the same filtering and conditional formatting in my To-Do Bar. How can I use two different filters/formatting -- one for To-Do Bar and...

Instead, it changes the font size of the Task list, leaving the Appointment fonts the same size. You...

    How to find emails that I sent that have not received a reply?

    I'm using Outlook 2016. I've tried to do this using a Search Folder. I've used "Tracking Status not equal to Replied" as the primary query item. This finds emails that I have not replied to, not emails I have sent that others have not replied to. Similarly, here is a VBA solution (How to...

    Change "This Week" flag start date behavior

    When I change a flag to "This Week", it sets a due date of Friday and a start date of two days from today. So, if it is Monday, setting a task to "This Week" will set a start date of Wednesday. I'd rather "This Week" flag choose a start date of "Tomorrow." Is there any way to change this...

    Greetings, I am using a script very similar to the one posted here (Outlook VBA for marking a new mail as a task before sending) which sets a customer UserProperty on an email being written. Also, concurrently, the SentItems folder is being monitored and when it sees email with that property...

    For emails I have received, if any of the senders or recipients are in the global address book, Outlook displays the people in a friendly way. For example, if the email was sent by Bob M Smith and Bob M Smith is in the global, then instead of seeing "b.m.smith@work.com" I'll see "Smith Bob M...

    Greetings, I arrange my To-Do tasklist by Start Date. It groups my tasks by Today, Tomorrow, This Week, and Next Week. If I do any additional kind of custom sorting, even if I use groupings, I lose those friendly terms and instead get dates. Any thoughts on how I can sort/arrange by Start...

    Macro to extract and modify links from emails

    Good morning, When coworkers create Skype for Business meetings in Outlook, the invitation includes a Skype Meeting link. I'm assuming that the recipient's Outlook client reads this link and therefore enables a "Join Meeting" button in numerous places (the ribbon, when right-clicking the...

    Changing colors of today's appointments, but not recurring ones

    Using conditional formatting, I can change the colors of today's appointments by using the criteria "Starts" and setting to today. For some reason, that also affects any and all recurring appointments. Why? I can add an additional criteria of "reccuring = no" but then that removes any recurring...

    If using one of the pre-built arrangement views, Outlook will sort and arrange by due date or start date, and the groupings will be "Today," Tomorrow," "This Week," "Next Week," and "Next Month." If you try to do any customization, but using due date or start date as the grouper, you can't get...
