Do all have that date or just the duplicates? Did you try grouping by modified date then full name? Or group by full name, sort by modified.

No, not if you want to hide the email address - you'd need a second profile. If you just want to 'hide' folders, you can collapse it - but anyone can expand it. If the account is pop, you can deliver mail to a different folder in a PST or rename the PST so it's not so obvious.

It's not uncommon for rules to work when you created it with but not later. If you are using the from address, edit the rule to use the email address, not the display name. You can use words in the sender address and use the full address as the 'words'.

Maybe this? I haven't seen it in my Outlook in years, but I have Excahgne accounts - IMAP might use this old dialog. When the contact form comes up, click the 3 dots. If the menu has Add to Contacts, it's from the cache. If it has Edit Contact, it's the real deal.

Do yyou have more than one account? If yes, select a mail folder in the other account then try searching. People Search only searches one account (or maybe only the default account).

It works, but there is always going to be errors, its the nature of a database. FWIW, search is a little buggy lately but not sure if that is the cause of your problems since only your contact is goofy. It sounds like it is finding your entry on the autocomplete list, not an actual contact...

Oh, yes, I forgot about that. If you are using the same rules on both computers, you need copies and use 'this computer only' in each copy. Or, if you are only using Outlook on the laptop sporadically, fix all the rules on the desktop to have 'this computer only' enabled and let it handle the...

You're viewing the mailbox in a browser? You should definitely be able to search or scroll to see old items in a browser - it would be the same as using the website on a pc. If using classic outlook, it's possible older events are in a PST - but you said you can see them in a browser on the...

Versions won't matter - especially from 2016 on, but the pst will work in 2003 and newer. I haven't tested it with google drive, but a lot of people sync psts using OneDrive and rarely have issues. The PST may be more prone to corruption, but it's not common. It is good to make regular backups...

When you use this - if the message class IS NOT the 20250531 message class, they will be changed. But if that is the message class you want to change from, it should be = (equal) not <> (not equal). If Itm.MessageClass <> "IPM.Contact.TN Contacts 20250531" Then Itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Note"...

That is one of the things I hate about new Outlook - if it decides you need to use a specific server, it uses it. At least in classic, you can change it in control panel > mail and it generally sticks. You can't even fake it out using a hosts file because new Outlook goes through the Microsoft...

New Outlook syncs using the Microsoft cloud - the cloud server pulls mail from the IMAP server and stores it then when new Outlook connects, syncs it. It sounds like either your server is blocking the Microsoft cloud or something is broken. Try removing the account from Outlook and adding it...

You don't want to actually merge the calendars, but if you have an export of their calendar or it is an exchange calendar and shared with you, Outlook will let you overlay the calendars so you can see when both are free. Select (check) 2 in Outlook's calendar list then if side by side, click...

Repair won't hurt, but it's probably not likely to fix it. If the account is not listed in Windows Settings, try deleting it froOutlook and adding it back. You could go to %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneAuth\accounts and delete the file for the account (open in notepad and search for the email...

You can remove the account if the address is under Microsoft account user or SSO_POP but I don't believe those are for Outlook or windows. The email password is stored in windows for all Microsoft account. Do you have a Needs Password link in the status bar when a folder in that account is...
