I wouldn't contradict your statement about MS not copying contacts from a pst to another contacts folder, however that doesn't leave much to explain how they get there. Some 400 contacts were in the outlook.com folder. I don't create contacts from phone, or from emails. All are created...

Outlook 2016, installed locally. Several times i have found the Outlook.com contact folder populated by all (or sometimes most, no idea how the choice is made) of the contacts held in my local contacts folder. This means that all these contacts are now uploaded to outlook.com site. I have no...

I believe that I asked about this some time ago. ie: if I have Outlook mail and calendar open in separate windows, how do I get them both to open the next time I start Outlook? If I simply close both windows separately only the main Outlook window will open next time. I was advised that the...

I am understanding you to say that if clicking on the Outlook taskbar icon opens two windows: email and calendar, then multiple calendars won't be remembered. Correct? This also is what I read the problem to be in other threads. (Which led me to ask if there isn't a registry adjustment that...

I am surprised. Seems there was another thread about this topic a while back (which I can't find ), and I see other people posting about it, with no solutions, at other sites. I have tried saving 'current view as a new view', saving as a calendar group. the only thing that works is changing...

I have discovered that if I open calendar in new window, check the calendars that i want open. then change that window to eg mail, before going to file>exit, the next time I open OL, two windows open, one on the mail view, which I then change back to calendar, and all the checked calendars are...

Since this problem continues in Outlook 2016 (Getting Outlook to remember what calendars were selected when you last used Outlook and to reselect them at start-up). Is there some registry modification that will accomplish this? I saw the thread about not using 'start in Calendar folder' or...

I am making some headway. I discovered that turning on US holidays at outlook.com, and adding the Jewish Holiday calendar from web to outlook.com (have to be logged on to outlook.com. the calendar somehow finds the correct location and adds itself), and then turning it on, then going to phone...

clarification regarding item 2 above: web research has caused me to notice that the calendar listed first in list of "my calendars" is the one that opens automatically when Outlook opens. the other two that were open when when last using Outlook are not open. So, the question is: how to get...

Deleting the HOL calendar to replace with a new one has turned into more of a problem then I originally realized. after turning on the inferior "Jewish Religious Holiday" calendar at the Onedrive>calendar site, it syncs to my phone. However: 1.I would rather be using the Jewish Holiday...

Outlook 2016 vl version. Windows 10 mobile phone. after reading about the wrong date for election day, I deleted the existing HOL in Outlook, added the new one. I also added a new calendar for Jewish Holidays, which I downloaded from a website. It is not the Jewish Holiday calendar offered by...

reminder settings were remaining between devices for 5 weeks. But that ended about a week ago. calender items set on desktop (defaults to no reminder) get a reminder when appearing on phone or laptop. same from laptop to phone. or phone to desktop. appalling that MS thinks it's ok to change...

Sorry, you're right. the timed events get 15 min. all day get 12 hour reminders. when I tried ityesterday with an event 2 months out, I must have set it for all day, getting the 12 hr reminder. I was wrong about the cause. too bad we can't set a default (none) for phone appointments, like...

Diane, based on a couple of days of testing and real appointments, checking synced copies. it seems like the modification issue has been resolved from moving to new server and using exchange for syncing. at least since yesterday morn. if anything changes I'll post. re: the default...

update 2: just now found appointments appearing again on phone. don't know what the missing appointments was about, and, hopefully it won't happen again. the first part of my reply, above, is still relevant.

apparently I am now on the new sight. outlook.live.com is the url. Don't know when that happened. I don't understand if the vba is meant to eliminate 15 min appts only on desktop or in outlook.com calendar. I have desktop outlook set to default to "none", which it does. Anything passing...

If I enter a new appointment on my desktop, or on phone (windows mobile 10), outlook.com seems to corrupt them when they pass through outlook.com for syncing. I never enter anything directly in outlook.com. Outlook 2016 desktop is set up to default to "no reminders", and the phone isn't good...

you're a genius. I have one contact folder ( I used to have several, had problems because of that. You suggested using just one, with categories to separate contacts. I followed your advice.) I didn't know how to enable contact list as address book, had to look up how to do it. Turns out the...

update: after not getting better results from adding key .I rebuild index. Now "search people" seems to find no one. I tried 10 names starting with different letters. search from contact list still works ok. frustrating.

very odd (though not odd compared to other experiences with MS software). as mentioned above I had added the keys and it made no change. so I deleted them. then I ran office repair. again no change. today, after reading your reply from yesterday, I started laptop, went to registry to re-add...
