Attachments not opening in Outlook 2013

Hi,
I have recently start using Outlook 2013 on a fresh machine with a new installation. From the very first day i am not able to open any attachments from my mail (by double clicking it). Thing is, it will start working fine once i saved it in my disk. From outlook
when i try to open nothing happens.
Following are the things i have tried till now..:
1. Checked the temporary files getting dumped at the OutlookSecureTemp folder path. Even from these temp. files the attachment is opening.
2. Checked in the control panel proper program is set to open that file.
3. User has the permission to write in to OutlookSecureTemp folder.
4. Tried changing the registry path of the OutlookSecureTemp folder though was not able to do it.
5. Check the trust center setting and make sure nothing is blocking the attachments.
Please advise the next step.
Thanks

Hi,
Please right click on the attachment, then click "Open", does this work?
We can also start Outlook in Safe Mode to troubleshoot if it's caused by some 3rd-party add-ins:
Press Win + R, type "Outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
Then Outlook will start in Safe Mode, check whether the issue persists. If no, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the issue.

Email attachments not exporting from outlook 2013 with Acrobat XI standard

I can't get my email attachments in Outlook 2013 to export along with the message. I've got the option checked in the settings to include attachments, and I don't get an error message when the PDF is created. But it includes the message only, regardless of whether it's set to output as a portfolio. I'm using the latest version (11.0.10) of Acrobat XI. Does anyone have a suggestion on what the problem might be and how I can fix it? Thanks very much.

Hey mikem750,
Once you convert the email to PDF, you have to click on Attachments under the Navigation pane. You can then save the attached file and then convert it to PDF format.
Choosing 'include attachments' option under conversion settings will simply include attachments (original format) along with the converted email message.
Hope this information helps.

MAPI over HTTP not working correctly, Outlook 2013 clients prompting for credentials during profile creation or opening depending on security of virtual directory

ENVIRONMENT
-1 Exchange 2013 SP1 CU7 server with all roles that is also a hybrid server with Office 365 tenant, mailboxes are all on premise only LYNC online is being utilized right now.
-Exchange 2013 public folders
-Mix of Outlook 2013 SP1 and Outlook 2010 SP3 clients all fully update to day as of Feb 2015
Outlook anywhere is working perfectly across all clients both internally and externally using autodiscover. Both Outlook 2013 and 2010 clients can open the program and create a profile automatically via autodiscover and no additional logon prompts
are seen.
We set the internal and external mapi virtual directory URLs to a valid URL that also matches the Exchange 2013 SSL certificate. We set the security to ntlm, negotiate on the mapi virtual directory. We reset IIS and enabled mapi over http in
the org config. We run in to problems here.
Outlook 2010 clients appear to be working fine. We can create a new profile and open and close Outlook without any logon prompts and verify that MAPIHTTP and Negotiate are used to connect to Exchange.
Outlook 2013 clients are having problems. As soon as we try to create a profile it says your administrator has made a change that requires you to restart outlook and then a windows logon prompt appears. If we authenticate Outlook will open and connect.
This logon prompt should not occur. We can confirm that it is connecting via MAPI HTTP and Negotiate.
If we set the mapi virtual directory to NTLM only then a logon prompt also appears during every open of Outlook 2013. We can confirm that it is trying to connect with MAPIHTTP via NTLM in the outlook connection test screen.
I do not understand this behavior by Outlook 2013 which was supposed to be designed with MAPI HTTP in mind. I would think the same issues would occur with Outlook 2010 but they do not. I am not sure how to resolve this and I am looking for help.

I have the same problem. Exchange and Outlook are both up to date. After creating a new profile Outlook prompts for username/password. A lot of users also get this prompt while
working - the profiles have been "migrated" from Exchange server 2010. <o:p></o:p>
Niko, as i can see in your screenshot you do not have Mapi over HTTP enabled. Why? You can change settings in the security tab – if you have Mapi over
HTTP enabled all options are grayed out (please correct me if I
am wrong):
This is a very annoying thing – does anybody else have the same problem?
Any suggestions on this?

"From" presence not displaying in Outlook 2013

When running the Lync 2013 client, the presence indicator of the "From" or sender does not display in Outlook 2013. The cc, bcc & to fields all display presence properly.
When I close the Lync 2013 client and the launch the Lync 2010 client, the sender's or "From" presence displays properly.
We are currently running Lync 2010 servers in our environment.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue?

I have certainly come across this behaviour with outlook 2013 against Exchange 2007.
How to repro the Issue?
Open an email in Outlook 2013 connected to Exchange
2007 in cached Mode. Sender of the email has empty personcard.
With Outlook 2013, users are not able to see GAL data for the
sender of emails,
Work around seem to be Using online mode instead of cached mode.
There is a outlook fix planned for this issue however unsure on the Release schedule
Hi Prasanth. It's now the end of May. Outlook 2013 went RTM about six months ago and GA about four months ago and this issue is still not fixed. Are Microsoft still working on a fix or have they given up on it and turned their back on their
users ?
I just installed Office 2013 + all MS updates and am very disappointed as Outlook 2013 is functionally inferior to 2010 because of this for us. I work for a large organisation and this would hold back Office 2013 rollout.

Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010

I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7. Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010 with the preformatted email message after submitting via the Email Invitations button. MS Internet Explorer 8.0 goes to a blank page. Is there a compatibility issue with Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5, MS Outlook 2010, and/or Windows 7?

its been running for months, with no problem what so ever
You were running a non-Intel version on an Intel Mac. You might not have run into problems before but it was only a matter of time. You cannot run an old version and then install brand new versions of ProKit and QuickTime - it will just break.
So you can either reinstall everything from scratch and then just keep it as it is without ever installing software updates, or you can upgrade to FCP 7. I recommend the latter.

New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011
Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
If yes how can I solve the problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.

AD RMS 2012 Templates/Permissions [Option] is not visible at Outlook 2013 in Nokia Windows 8 Mobile Device

I have AD RMS 2012 Server, its working fine by applying restricted Templates/Permissions on OWA, Outlook & other MS Office Tools (Word Excel, PowerPoint). But the AD RMS Templates/Permissions [Option] is not visible at Outlook 2013 in Nokia Windows
8 Mobile Device.
Actually I would like to protect email with RMS templates (defined by me on AD RMS 2012 Server) but the [Permission] tab is not visible at Outlook 2013 in Nokia Windows 8 Mobile Device.
But I can do same with Android OS in Samsung Galaxy Mobile Device & I can see [Permission] tab as well to protect an email messages.
Any idea??
Regards,
M.Daud Soomro

Currently, you can't use WP 8 to protect docs/emails with ADRMS templates. YOu can however use transport rules on Exchange server side to configure automatic ADRMS protection.

Iphone calendar does not sync with OUTLOOK 2013

iphone 4 calendar does not sync with OUTLOOK 2013 calendar. Can anyone help? Iphone [Apple] will not provide support

Why won't Apple provide support? Do you mean free support if your iPhone is no longer under warranty if the AppleCare extended warranty was purchased for your iPhone, or if the initial 90 days of free telephone support after the purchase date has expired? If you no longer have free telephone support, free support is provided at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Attachment don't open en previewer is not working in Outlook 2013

When i get office attachments in an e-mail in outlook 2013 on a windows 8.1 pro.
The attachments don't open. And the previewer of outlook tels me that the content can not be previewed.
Any one any idea what can be the solution to open and preview these documents?

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you try to open attachments?
What's the file type of the attachments? Can you open and preview a Word or Excel attachment in Outlook? By default, Microsoft Outlook 2013 blocks potentially unsafe attachments (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain
viruses.
In addition, please try to clean out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check if it helps. See:

Please let me know the result.

How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
Quick Parts.
2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
Language will open.
Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
To remove the registry key, please follow these:
Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
back up the registry before you modify it.
a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
c. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
d. Delete or rename the subkey.
e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
7. Problematic add-in
Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons. 
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected. 
 
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

Online Archives for Outlook 2013 do not appear in Outlook 2013 running on Terminal Server

Hello,
We are currently attempting to get our users away from using PST files and instead use the Personal Online Archive feature but have come across a problem
Environment
Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server)
Office 2013
Citrix 6.5 XenApp
So on the Exchange side I went through the steps of setting up my PST use as a guinea pig for testing. I was able to setup the Archive database, enable archiving on my mailbox, and import my PST into the Archive database.
I then opened Outlook 2013 on my stand-alone PC and there was my Online Archive. Great!
I then double checked and also saw it on the OWA site on the Exchange server. Super!
I finally logged into our RDS (Terminal) server and opened Outlook 2013 there. But the Online archive was not there. Hmmm..
I did some researching and this article about Outlook 2010 suggested it was a permission issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1e8d5d4b-e26b-4be6-b646-eb6e796c6295/exchange-2010-mail-archive-missing-in-outlook-2010-shows-in-owa?forum=outlook
So I ran through those steps in Powershell but no change.
I also don't think it's a licensing issue because the license I have on my stand-alone PC is the same volume license keys (MAK) as on my Terminal Server.
Soo... I'm a bit stuck and was hoping for some help. I can't proceed with migrating other PST files to the online archive until I get this resolved.
Thanks

Hi,
In theory,
Outlook reads the
msExchDelegateLink attribute of the user in AD to display the additional mailbox (Online Archive folder).
Since the standalone client can display the archive mailbox properly, it seems this attribute is available in AD. I suspect the issue locates on the way that the terminal
clients access the server. I suggest we check whether the client has properly permission to connect to AD when accessing remotely.
