    Advanced search terms for "Outlook Data File"

    I have an advanced search to find emails in the folders I want by age or date. It runs from VBA and the advanced search string would look something like this: created:(>=10/1/2023) NOT folder:Trash NOT folder:Deleted I learned some time ago that the right way to search for items in a specific...

    Trying to move messages between imap accounts/folders

    I have set up a "Quick Step" to move the current message to my All Mail folder on one of my (many) Gmail accounts - this is the folder I use for my consolidated "archive." All of my email accounts are imap. The quick step sometimes seems to work, and I almost immediately see the new...

    Outlook doesn't feel reliable, anymore

    I'm visiting this forum a lot (for me) lately, because I'm having a lot of issues "trusting" Outlook. I have a MS365 subscription, and use Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2212 Build 16.0.15928.20196) 64-bit. I use VBA quite a bit. I have a large number of email accounts...

    View doesn't refresh (fields or formatting)

    I use advanced searches via VBA, but this isn't really a VBA question. Once my search results are shown, I will change to a view that shows which email account and which folder each item "lives" in. I also have conditional formatting to show clearly when I have archived items to the...

    Site name?

    I'm having a hard time imagining that this question hasn't been asked before, but I couldn't find it by searching: What's the story behind this site's name? Where's "SlipStick" come from? I visit often, and I wonder, every time.

    Outlook (desktop app for Microsoft365) restarts every time I save my VBA?

    Every time I have the VBA window open - whether or not I've done any editing - and then click Ctrl-S to save, Outlook closes and then restarts. My changes do seem to be saved, but something's clearly not right. Anyone else experiencing this, or know what might be causing it?

    How to search for items in Outbox with multiple accounts?

    Because I use a multitude of account providers (gmail, comcast, outlook, others) in Outlook (from Microsoft 365), I know that, to search for items in Sent folders the folder names can be "Sent," "Sent Mail," "Sent Items" ... When I search for items in folder:Outbox - even when I know there are...

    Why does Outlook (desktop) 365 for Windows keep making me input my passwords?

    I use Outlook from Office 365 on Windows 10 (Home). Been using Outlook for literally decades. I'm a little crazy in that I have 16 email accounts (for various purposes). Periodically, Outlook will forget all of my accounts' saved passwords and make me re-enter them. Entering 16 email...

    New weird behavior (or, why can't they leave well enough alone?)

    Sometimes, after reading and then closing an email in Outlook (365) and returning to the inbox, I press the delete key to delete the email just read, and nothing happens. Then, I click on the Home tab and the Delete icon there - and nothing happens. Eventually, function is restored. But why...

    Search not accurate, but not indexing

    Is this a VBA issue, an Outlook issue, or a Windows issue? I'm using Outlook for MS 365, and recently got a Windows 10 update (Windows 10 Home, v 10.0.19042 Build 19042). Now, my VBA advanced searches return some results, but not all. Today, for example, with a variable set to 24 hours ago...

    Profiles and accounts and PSTs and OSTs

    I've been having TONS of problems with indexing and searching in OL 2013, lately, so I bit the bullet and subscribed to Office 365, and downloaded Outlook 365 tonight. I let Outlook's auto account set up guide me through setting up my accounts, but noticed that I still had issues with the...

    Outlook with Office365 - search across account, by date rate, in multiple folders - how?

    I'm on Outlook from Office365. Not crazy about it. I have many email accounts, and would like to clean up old email across the board. I want to use the search box at the top to search for a date range, in ALL accounts, across multiple folders - like "folder:(All Mail)...

    Why won't Title display in message list?

    Using Outlook for Office 365. My Outlook account shows up as an Exchange account. When I look at the "Outlook properties" for someone (internal to my school district) who sends me an email, I can see their Title. When I add either the Job Title or Title column to my message list view, it's...

    How to use VBA to show only items x days old or more

    I'm using the Unified Inbox vba from this site because ... well, because I can't believe MS hasn't built this in, yet! But I'd also like to be able to use similar code to search for messages based on their age, in days. How would I do that? I don't want to use "yesterday," or "this week."...

    Quick Parts signatures suddenly require more letters

    I use quick parts to insert audience-appropriate signatures (internal, external, casual) to my outgoing emails. I preface the quick part names with sig:, so I have sig:Inside, sig:Outside, sig:Casual. We had a "rebranding" here that required me to change my external and internal signatures. I...
