    Outlook 2010 Originating & Using a Template, how & where?

    Create the message then use File > Save as > Outlook Template (oft). If it's just text (which all email templates should be), you can save it to any easy to access location (like desktop) then double click to open it. You can copy it to a folder in Outlook (I named mine Templates) and use it...

    Solving the "indexing never finishes" issue

    if its stuck syncing, I usually have the user change the account settings in Send/Receive settings (Ctrl+Alt+S). Click Edit, and set the IMAP account to not get unread count in subscribed folders and to only sync inbox, maybe a few other folders. If you only use classic Outlook to move mail...

    Solving the "indexing never finishes" issue

    IMAP is partly the cause. Outlook will often reload the account and needs to resync. Are you syncing all IMAP mail or is the sync slider set to less than all? ?Setting it on All may help if its not syncing everything. Also, leave Outlook open when the computer is running. don't open and...

    Is the email account set up ass POP? POP accounts put a lock on the server and block any other access to the account until the send/receive is finished.

    Why does Outlook keeping adding to the email address I have in my notes portion of a contact?

    BTW - it usually only happens if you edit the contact on the mobile device. But it can happen even if you don't edit.

    Why does Outlook keeping adding to the email address I have in my notes portion of a contact?

    Split like that? It's because you are syncing with a mobile device that syncs the notes field as plain text. converting to plain text converts URLs to that format. If you don't want it converted to a mailto, you need to add a space before or after the @ so it's not recognized. You could also...

    Yes, you can. Did you try applying the view from another folder to one of the folders?

    Anyone integrated AI website builders with Outlook for automated client communications?

    Pointless at this time. Custom forms are only supported in classic and it's going away in 2029. Same for VBA and PowerShell automation. They are not supported in new outlook. Honestly, can't be much of a quality website if you are generating it from an email.

    IMAP calendars in New Outlook

    Who knows... It's been an "ask" for 20+ years. You can open the calendar and create it - or move it to the other calendar.

    Showing images on company newsletter using Mailchimp

    I'm not aware of a way of unblocking the images for your domain, other than updating everyone's safe list and changing their download settings to allow safe lists. PDF is definitely a better option IMHO.

    Copilot should only work in subscriptions.

    Search People>press enter box disappears.

    It sounds like a bug in the software, not a problem with the PST file. Which version and build of Outlook are you using? See File, Office Account for the information in classic Outlook.

    Gmail in Outlook

    If you sync them to Outlook classic, the labels will sync as folders. Then you can export to a PST. Or use google takeout to create a backup - I have not tried this. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?sjid=9639075607349503136-NA Warning: after exporting to a pst, the folder...

    New way by Microsoft to get people to use the new Outlook

    I set a registry key to disable the switch in classic outlook's title bar so Microsoft won't automatically switch me to new outlook. I use new Outlook, mostly for testing, and don't it classic disabled since its my default mail app. Key is here -...

    New way by Microsoft to get people to use the new Outlook

    They announced last year that classic would be sunsetted in 2029. They are already forcing users to new Outlook - but it is possible to switch back. They started with consumer accounts and the small business subscription. Will be moving on to small enterprises then move up to larger ones.

    anything new on the supposed shutdown of comcast.net email?

    I would get a custom domain name that way you are not at the mercy of google, Microsoft or comcast. :) you can host it where you want - should be under 50 a year total, for all the address you need. But... if they do hand off to yahoo, it should be fairly seamless. The cox transfer last year...
