Hi,
Do you mean you want to change the default reminder time to 8:00 am when you are reading an message and want to add a reminder to it?
If so, please have a look at the link below which provided a detailed description on this issue:

Changing the deafult reminder time on Outlook All Day Events without turning off reminders
Hi All,
This has been something that has bugged me for years but now even more so I (and my colleagues) have work phones linked with exchange. I am tired of being woken up at 6am the day before an all day event has been set in my calendar.
I have multiple people update my calendar and the reminder time is not always cleared on an all day event. I (and others) want to keep a default reminder time set as it is a useful addition to the majority of calendar appointments, but for the life of me I
can't fathom out how to change the default 18 hour reminder time that is set on All Day events.
I have never understood why MS have made this reminder time set to eighteen hours, which means that the reminder always goes off at 6am, before the majority of office people wake.
We currently use Outlook 2007, but will probably update to 2010 in the foreseeable future.
If this can't be set in Outlook (?!?!?) can it be forced as an administrative policy?
ChrisChrisHi Chris,
This has been asked for before, but there are no current plans to change the default of "18 hours" or to allow a means to modify the value.
As a workaround, you can use code in a macro, script, COM Add-in, etc. to reset the Reminder time to something more adequate to your needs.
DISCLAIMER: The code is provided only as a courtesy to our customers. It is not supported in any way by Microsoft.
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim calFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim items As Outlook.items
Dim appt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim i As Integer
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set calFolder = oApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set items = calFolder.items
For i = items.Count To 1 Step -1
If items.Item(i).Class = Outlook.olAppointment Then
Set appt = items.Item(i)
If appt.AllDayEvent = True Then
If appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 1080 Then '1080 = 18 hours X 60 minutes
appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60 '60 minutes
appt.Save
End If
End If
End If
Set items = Nothing
Set calFolder = Nothing
Set appt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
I have emailed the Outlook Feature Requests alias on this. This is monitored directly by the
Outlook Product team. Additionally, you can call in and open a support incident regarding this issue and we can investigate this further.
Hope that helps!

Changing the default Repeat Times list in iCal Alarms?
Has anyone ever figured out a way to change the default "repeat times" list on iCal Alarms?
[img]http://img.skitch.com/20091129-xe9qr7yt94d8e6bq5pp3nya574.jpg[/img]
I'd love to add a few to iCal's current offerings, like "4 hours" "8 hours" etc.Dear Rich
Welcome to Apple Forums,
I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you. -

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.
Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all! -
I am locked out of my iphone. I changed the password and it still wont work. I changed it again and it is now disabled. I do not use itunes, icloud. How can I get into my iphone? I have changed my password and its not working. how can I start over?
Follow the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode. -
My reminder app not working on my ipad mini. It would let me add reminders but it won't keep it. It automatically erases any reminder i put in. Also it wouldn't let me add any list. I just noticed it today. I also tried to reset it but it wouldn't help. Any ideas about this?
No I'm not syncing my calendar. I tried to reset (like your instructions) just now, I also tried going to setting to reset it but so far it still not working. Any alternative?

To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups -
My Time Capsule has stopped working. Restoring default settings does not work.
I have a 2TB Time Capsule (Model No. A1409). I think that it is approximately 20 months old. It has been working very well until around two months ago, when it began to display the flashing amber light. At that time I performed a hard reset, restoring the default settings. This worked and the capsule continued backing up perfectly for a further three weeks. However, about three weeks back the flashing amber light returned. As I have been busy elsewhere I was not able to attend to this untl recently. It does not seem to matter how many times I reset the device, I cannot return it to a working state.
The capsule has previously been set up to connect to the internet through my existing broadband service. As such, it was initially set up and subsequently restored wirelessly. I no longer seem to be able to achieve this. Has anybody else experienced similar difficulties and if so, were you able to remedy it.
Grateful for any advice. I feel another trip to the Genius Bar coming on.Yeah absolutely - no problem.
I had the same thing happen where I did a restore on my personal TimeCapsule (TC),
and when I updated the device after installing it, it for some reason set the TC into bridged mode shutting off DHCP/NAT service.
Which means, that it doesn't reserve an IP for any client trying to attach. This is what it sounds like yours is doing.
So if you see that it says bridged, and that box with dhcp reservation is greyed out, change it from bridged to DHCP/NAT.
This will allow any client (computer/device) to attach and reserve an IP address for access to the internet.
Once that is set, and you update, hopefully the light should go green.
I would also recommend checking the "internet" tab, and making sure that your IP address is assigned using DHCP. (It probably is - but that part is essential for communication with your Internet Service Provider (ISP)...
SO - if the device goes green after the update:
If it does, then go back into the router and click on the wireless tab and confirm your wireless settings are correct, if any changes are made, update.
At that point, you should be able unplug your laptop to wirelessly connect to the router. -

Changing the default meeting time in Outlook 2010 to 50 minutes
Is there a way to change the default time for a meeting to 50 minutes. I can go to Calendar, View, View Settings, Other Settings, and change to 15, 30 or 60 minutes. What about 50? Any ideas or suggestion? Thanks
Hi,
I think you have to choose another time scale on your calendar. Because Outlooks tries to match the timescale for new meeting requests. It is only possible to choose 30min or 60 min.
(http://www.outlook-tips.net/?p=312)
In order to change the timescale you will find a description here:

After the last update, the default email app is not working as expected. It can send email but when it checks email, it never downloads any new messages. The last updated display at the top of the screen shows that the last successful update was on 5/3 just before the update took place. I will probably just download an email app and can this one but thought I would ask in case there is an easy fix.
On my S4, a little message "Master sync turned off" blinks at the bottom of the email app when I tried to manually sync.
On another thread, I discovered that you have to go into the settings toggle screen (swipe down from the top, hit the little four-square icon in the upper-right) and find "Sync". That has to be turned back on. For whatever reason, it was off on my phone after NC5 installed, and the email program needs it to be on. Was it always there? I don't know.
There is a separate sync setting that you can change inside the email app for each account... but they all cease functioning if the "Sync" is off. So make sure the main "Sync" is on, and maybe that will restore your email function. Good luck! -
Outlook 2013 Quick Print not working for HTML attachments.
I have to print multiple orders that are received as attached HTML files (Sometimes 20+ attachments). In Outlook 2007 (On XP) this worked fine I could print the email with attachments and everything would be waiting for me in the printer.
I just got a new computer running windows 7 and Outlook 2013 and I can no longer print the attachments.
I printed through File, Print, Printer Options, Print Attached Files - Email prints, no attachments.
I tested with an attached DOCX and PDF - Both print the email and attachment.
Quick Print HTML attachment - Nothing Prints.
Open Attachment in Internet Explorer - Prints fine.
Changed Default Program for HTML files to Firefox and tested quick Print - Nothing Prints
Changed Default Program for HTML files to Word and test quick Print - Prompts for program to use when opening (for every attachment), I choose Word, it opens but does not print.
I've been searching for anything else to try but I'm running out of ideas Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!To resolved this issue i tried below trouble shooting:
1) Repair MS office 2013
2)Uninstall and install office 2013
3)Rename the Outlprnt file to Outlprnt old from C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\
4) 2 times Re install printer drivers
5) Creat new outlook profile
if you Unable to print from Outlook 2013 without receiving the "Printer not ready" message (32/64 Win 7 Pro).
This changed worked for us, by selecting the Advanced properties on the printer and changing the default setting "Start printing immediately" to "Start printing after last page spooled".
I hope it works for you, good luck in your quest!

Hello,
Office 2010 32bit, VBA
Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running? If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result. IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
Many thanks!
JulieHi Julie,
Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.
