    How will a new Exchange profile handle existing .ost file stored elsewhere?

    Many thanks indeed! After creating a new profile Outlook will obviously start of from scratch. Retrieving mail into a new .ost file, named after the new profile. In the previous profile, one might have set: "Download mail for the past" to ALL, then this should be re-enabled again, else just the...

    How will a new Exchange profile handle existing .ost file stored elsewhere?

    For some reason (long story) I am considering to create a new Outlook profile. I have never done this before, so I would like to be certain about a few things. 1) I am not sure about the effects, specifically with regards to using existing .ost files. Used the registry patch "ForceOSTPath.reg"...

    Microsoft 365 subscription based. (Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2502 Build 16.0.18526.20168) 64-bit) In a reddit-thread of 2 years back I read it had something to do with Edge setting "Automatically open Outlook email..." etc. but I found nothing in Edge referring to Outlook, so that has been...

    How to share calendar categories?

    Thanks again Diana. Yesterday evening, when opening Outlook on the laptop, it started to sync about 170MB on Calendar data. This morning this looked fine, events were properly categorized with different colours and so on. This morning I noticed that old dates were displayed as 01-01-1601...

    How to share calendar categories?

    First, many thanks. All the appointments were 'green' in her case. When 'opening' an appointment/event the category label was missing. The categories list, was/is there though. Now, after some hours something funny is going on... I see green colour changing in the actual category colour and the...

    Two identical email accounts in Offline Global Address List

    Many thanks indeed. Background and reason for asking is that, in the good old days, whilst creating a Calendar event and entering a few characters of the name of a city in the Location field, Outlook would usually show a pop-up with cities-names, whereas Outlook, for quite a while, shows a list...

    Junk E-mail Options disabled(?)

    Thanks. The sad thing is: you only find out later (too late) that mail arrived in the junk folder. The other day I was waiting and waiting for a parcel sent thru DHL. A small parcel. It might/or just not might not fit in the mailbox. In the end I went down in the apartment building and found the...

    Junk E-mail Options disabled(?)

    Outlook - Microsoft 365 (v2409 Build 16.0.18025.20030 64-bit). Exchange. It strikes me that I do not have Junk E-mail options like 'No Automatic Filtering, Low, High, Safe Lists Only' Is there a way to enable those options? Secondly: is there a way to let ME decide on what should be deleted/is...

    Any 3rd party tool that sync (mirror) from Outlook Contacts to Google Contacts?

    I think she simply let someone else add those phonenumbers a while ago. People from her bridgeclub. She didn't tell, so I got puzzled about the 'differences'. Updated Outlook accordingly. My wife wouldn't know how to add contacts. Like many she is a 'tap on a button and things should...

    Any 3rd party tool that sync (mirror) from Outlook Contacts to Google Contacts?

    Thank you. In fact I did, in April somewhere. gSyncit started out with some cryptic error, a long page with errors, when expanding (click on Details) So, I let it rest at the time. Am not keen on trying to fix errors caused by programs, right from the start. Hence went on seeking for...

    Any 3rd party tool that sync (mirror) from Outlook Contacts to Google Contacts?

Hence I started searching for other 3rd party tools but did not find one. SOme are outdated, other...

    I have been using: Outlook app calendar aCalendar+ (paid version) - syncs with Outlook app DigiCal (paid version) - syncs with Outlook app Goohle Calendar (shows a limited period) Outlook app sync is extremely poor: to update the calendar I need to swipe, swipe and swipe. Have spent weeks...

    Many thanks to you both! I did already have a look at gSyncit a few days back and checked out the part "Getting started" on their website and noticed an explanation " In Outlook 2010/2013 this is appear as follows ..." (2010/2013..?) Then went over to their FAQ but could not find a word on...

    Any 3rd party tool that sync (mirror) from Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar?

    Anyone here using a 3rd party tool (add-in, or stand alone) that actually mirrors Outlook (Exchange) to Google? Mirror means exact copy in Google Calendar. Doesn't need to be entirely free, a small price is okay. Currently using Outlook4Gmail, but it creates duplicates (when an event has...

    Over the last couple of days I have been facing major issues with calendar apps on my smartphone. They used to work fine, but early this week, for one reason or the other, all data has gone. Since then I have been trying to figure out what it might have been, seeking solutions on Internet...
