I have two Win 7 systems with Outlook 2010 and IDENTICAL Outlook email IMAP account setups. Lately, one of the systems can no longer obtain an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS) to the ISP server, both ways (in/out). I'm persistently getting only 0x800CCC0E errors "Cannot connect to the server."...

Last week my Outlook 2010 client suddenly started showing some of the sent items (emails) marked as unread. I've been using current configuration for years and this has never happened before. My local folders are mapped to corresponding IMAP folders on provider's server (it's been like this...

Well, the ribbon does lock the month separator line on all 3 machines I've tested this (two W7 O2010 and one W10 O2013). Plenty of space in the nav pane, different screen sizes, etc. don't make any difference. Closing the ribbon down to the "bone" releases the separator line, reopening the...

I have several machines and I've tested both O2010 and O2013, also on my (standard) 12" laptop as I mentioned before. So it's not the particular Outlook installation, other software or the screen resolution behind - it's simply Outlook itself (at least in my experience). Why don't you just try...

Actually, my screen is 4K so that's not it (besides, I have plenty of space in the Navigator pane below the single month and I still can't move the separator at all). My discovery was that the Ribbon is locking the "separator" line in the nav pane for some peculiar reason. I even tried that on...

I'm not sure this is news, and I don't know how long ago this tool became FREE, but ... just in case. If you want to sync and use your Calendar across your devices (PCs, iPads, iPhones, etc.), this tool is going to do the trick. The iCloud alone doesn't fix that by itself (a well-known fact)...

A common issue with Outlook 201x is that the Navigation pane in Calendar (not the ToDo pane in Mail) usually shows only 1 month, and if you try to drag the separator beneath to see more months, you'll experience that it's impossible to move! I've seen a lot of questions about this on the web...

Fair enough. I had no problems with 22 .PST files and Outlook has never been sluggish thus far, so I guess it's not that. Btw, I got another hang just an hour after my last post here, so now I have reinstalled the entire Office. We'll see how this goes.

After 12 hours with a new profile no crashes yet. This looks promising (before it took less than 3-4 hours for the system to hang or crash). I'm wondering about another possible cause. My original setup opens 23 .PST files in addition to the current Mailbox (i.e. 24 files in total). Those...

Thanks Diane! I'm testing this now, and I'll let you know what happened.

Hi, I'm experiencing a very strange problem lately. It appeared suddenly on a system that has been running fine for ages (no new installations or recent system configuration changes too). On my oldest computer, I'm still running WinXP and Office 2003 (sorry). Recently, the computer started to...

Thanks a million, Diane! Simply setting "Inbox" as the root folder did the trick... (I did try to remove and re-add the account before, repeatedly, without any effect.) How are we supposed to know about that? Why can't Microsoft prevent such annoyances and ensure reasonably flawless...

Anyone? Please?

I use two accounts in Outlook 2013 (64-bit) and the default account (POP3) is working fine. It's synchronized by means of Syncing.Net (another PC is the master). The second account is IMAP and set up Ok, sending email Ok, but it suddenly stopped receiving email after the Windows 8.1 upgrade...
