Applied ForceOSTpath before changing from POP3 to IMAP Initially... indeed the .ost file was located in a folder that has been defined by me (N:\Outlook) Note: "N" is not a network drive in this case. I just checked but Outlook seemed to have decided to relocate the .ost file to C: again...

Office 365 After switching from POP3 to IMAP all rule have gone. Within Outlook folder tree the 'old' PST still there (just renamed like accountname-pst-at-outlook.com). Likewise, I also renamed the actual .pst. Is there a way to recover those rules? Sadly I didn't back them up: didn't...

Under 'Send/Receive' there is an item 'Mark to Download' I wonder what it does. Have not tried it - vainly searched for info on this. As opposed to POP3 there is no 'Leave on server for xx days'. I always want to keep all my mails. For me that is important. I used to save mails in archive PST...

Today changed to IMAP (used good old POP3). A result is that all settings are gone. Within each and every mailbox the columns are defaulted, preview is enabled, etc. And of course tasks are gone, rules are gone. Is there a way to apply view settings overall? Or, hopefully, at least for all...

It is often said that Exchange is the best choice. In fact, when setting up Outlook, it more or less defaults to Exchange : entering email and password - that's it. IMAP even requires an 'advanced' setup and entering server addresses. From what I know Exchange is a business solution with...

I strongly prefer the use of POP3 protocol = the use of .PST files Outlook of Office 365 on multiple devices is using IMAP and .OST files. This is the reason for me -not- to subscribe to Office 365. Currently I don't have a laptop to check it, but I think I might have a solution with regards...

As a 'workaround' for the graphic horizontal message separating line, one might consider using a horizontal line as signature. I admit, it is less sophisticated, it seems to work though. Start a New Mail, put the cursor in the body of the text, select 'Format Text' tab, then in the drop down...

Hi Diane, Thanks again. Well, I'll let it rest now, the double line spacing is solved (without using the .ahk script, so the ahk script won't interfere anymore)

Dear Diane, Thanks for your comments. Up front, I confess, it is me alright - so I take the blame ... I don't mind that though: am used to it, here at home. If anything at all goes wrong, my wife blames me.... :) But eh, could you explain a little more what you mean, please? Do you have...

I gave a try again and manage to solve it. = = the only relatively small drawback is that the horizontal graphic line, meant as message separator, will be gone, after sending replies back and forth. probably this can't be solved. I still went on with this because the autohotkey solution...

Bad luck, it doesn't work. When r-clicking on ThisOutlookSession and insert module, it will insert the module at the very bottom, not below the 'ThisOutlookSession' branch. When double clicking 'ThisOutlookSession' a window opens where I can put the code in, but I got errors when closing. When I...

Thanks a lot! Sorry to say but I have absolutely no knowledge about these matters. So, before doing anything that is most probably wrong, I would like to provide some additional details. Screenshot A: shows what the macro does. Screenshot B: the code and where the module is located The...

Found a macro that replaces hard returns with soft returns As known the use of hard returns causes double line spacing when exchanging mail with gmail. (I know... there is a AutoHotKey solution. For a while, it worked fine for me. Then it stopped and I couldn't get it going anymore. Couldn't...

Thank you Diane. Frankly... as my pst files are located within a password protected container, I never realized such option even existed... :) Though it may not be very secure, I am sure it'll be okay as a first 'protection/defense'.

@ E Douglas Jensen Thanks for commenting. The X1 thing was a bit off topic here. The problem more or less lies in the fact that, whilst using Outlook 365, the privacy solely depends on password protecting your laptop or pc. Meaning to say that once you have to turn in your pc or laptop for...

Okay ... The top toolbar (which is the one I have now, with the standalone Office 2016) is then the same as with Office 365, right? OWA (bottom toolbar): I hardly use it. In fact I only open it for two things... check out the junk folder (Microsoft regularly puts legitimate mail there) and to...

As always, many thanks Diane. Yes, I understand, one will get the same applications in 365 and Office 2016 (depending on the version of course). What's the difference between Office 365 and Office 2016? But what I am worried/confused/puzzled about is the GUI of the applications. When doing a...

Just wondering only... Right now I am using Office 2016 with POP3 and PST. That has been working well for 20 years: my first Office being Office 1997. (Before that I was using Eudora, that used .mbx files) I have multiple accounts, with mail coming via Outlook, Gmail (2x) and a 3rd one using...

Hi Diane, sorry for the delay. Yes, the computer clock is okay and this is (was) indeed the only event that is (was) popping up. The date (when opening the reminder) was correctly set to end of August. In fact, there was nothing 'special/different' compared to other reminders. Anyway, I...

Thank you so much Diane!
