Yes, I've had that problem and that was my solution, which I stumbled upon by trial and error. I thought it was related to the EAS (server) problem, as I have only outlook.com and hotmail.com accounts in my current profile (no PST files with POP3 accounts). I haven't noticed the other Edit and...

Thank you. Guessed that may have been so, can't recall when my ability to paste in rich text" disappeared. I'll be happy when that upgrade gets to me!

Have Outlook 2013 calendar appointments always been in plain text? I see threads at Microsoft social stretching right back to its release that HTML formatting isn't possible. 3 years! Will this change? I'm using 2013 desktop with outlook.com account. EAS sync

In Outlook 2013 64-bit, if a message is attached (rather than inline), or if a .msg file (saved from Outlook) is attached in the same way that one would attach a PDF DOC TXT or ZIP, Outlook has an inbuilt previewer that will allow one to see those. As expected. However, there are different ways"...

I couldn't edit the above within 10 minutes, but need to add the following - I am using 64-bit Microsoft Office 2013 (Outlook). I have seen a post that this annoying problem (no previewer provided for Outlook?) is "by design" - but I know that .msg files will preview OK from Windows Explorer on...

If I save an email from Outlook 2013 to disk - as .msg format file, and at some time want to view that file's contents via the Preview pane in Windows Explorer, I get a popup error message. Outlook is my default mailer, though Windows 10 has the Mail app (I have not uninstalled it). I have...

Outlook 2013, Outlook.com only - and I have a slew of contacts folders under My Contacts, as follows - The one under Xmas List was the only folder/group that I could create (the properties and hierarchy of these labels confuses me). It's not as bad as it seems, since some folders are empty or...

This may be well-known, but it perplexed me until I found a very simple solution embedded in the discussions about a slightly different environment for Outlook Calendar than I have. The link to the suggestion that solved my problem is (shortened URL) Outlook 2013 - you cannot make changes to...

That makes sense. Another, unrelated question: with Outlook 2013, desktop, I also have a PST attached (no email account associated). But if I attach one of my saved* PST files (which is associated with a seldom-used email account; currently, I have it forwarded from the ISP that it's connected...

I don't understand "upload" - unless you mean the fact that replicating an email (ie, having multiple copies of it) involves not just changing its folder location tag, so that each 'new' copy would involve upload to the Outlook.com store? Is that a crude explanation? So, is it the change from...

I'm sure this worked a month ago. Now I get this error message I am using desktop Outlook 2013 64-bit, with activesync to my cloud Outlook.com account. I can Move email from folder to folder, but no longer can I Copy the email to another location. This is all within the same account (.ost...

aah - thanks for that tip.

Diane, I thought that I had been migrated. I have a profile now, without .pst, just outlook.com and Hotmail.com emails, both show as Type: Exchange ActiveSync. Is that not indicating that my migration has occurred? I didn't get the messages that your article describes, but it may be that my...

I am using Outlook 2013 desktop with email accounts that sync Outlook.com and Hotmail.com, which changes the way that address books / contacts are used. (My experience: Outlook 2010 and prior desktop versions, with mixed MAPI and POP3 emails - ie, .ost and .pst). I have several historical...

I have used Adobe, also Foxit PDF (several, licensed products), and PDF-XChange (licensed) - so I decided to install the PDF-XChange Edit product on this new disk, and it provides a previewer automatically. I used this before, and it worked fine with Outlook 2010. I was surprised that Office...

I haven't done that (formatted a C: boot drive without saving useful stuff in some way), but I have recovered huge amounts of stuff from failed hard drives of my own or from other people, using a utility called FileScavenger. As is logical, it is really necessary to NOT use your C: drive (or...

I have noticed that Outlook 2010 and 2013 on Windows 7,8.1, 10 are not receiving video attachments sent from an iPad (and I believe, created on that device). The attachment received is typically a small (300 byte) .txt which contains just the words 'Sent from my iPad'. The sending app on the...

I have what I hope is a simple question, for newly-installed desktop Outlook 2013 on Windows 10 Pro. The previewers that I would like are for .PDF and .WAV (forwarded landline phone messages). I don't have any PDF readers apart from Windows 10's Reader' and its new browser. Neither installs a...

I have taken the plunge, leaving the .ost and .pst debris on the Windows 7 hard disk and have set up Outlook 2013 on a Windows 10 SSD. I will take this gradually: initially, I will set up only the 'main' email account which is the Outlook.com one. On its creation, I see that the server is...

I'm running with /cleanviews, it appears to incorporate some sort of check of the data file(s). Perhaps I should have turned off the Send/Receive before running with that switch.
