Displaying assigned retention tag/policy in Outlook 2013 Inbox default vies

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this questions. If it is not please forgive me and direct me to the right forum. I know that I can check if the email message has a retention tag/policy applied if I open it in Inspector window. It is
listed under subject.
My problem is that I don't know the way how to display the retention tag/policy in the Inbox default view next to the the properties like: subject, from, received etc. So the users don't need to open the message to check if they applied the retention tag.
This way they can look at every message in the inbox and see which message has the retention tag missing.  I assume I will have to employ some coding and I am OK with that.
Can I write a outlook add-in that will query for retention tag for each message and display it in the column along with other mapi properties? I need a advice example how to programmatically extract the PR_POLICY_TAG and convert it from binary to string.
Than I can change the default view xml to include this property I assume.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Goran

If an item has been tagged for retention then they will be available you can see this using a Mapi editor like MFCmapi or OutlookSpy. The PolicyTag would only give you the GUID of the policy and you would have to pull the Name from the UserConfig item in
the mailbox which can be little more complicated.  With CFG file's there is
http://www.slipstick.com/exchange/adding-extended-mapi-fields-to-outlook/#trouble that's about all that I know off. There is also an Outlook development group you can ask this in

  • Emails show up on web but not in Outlook 2013 inbox

    I have several email accounts and one of them that is working fine on Outlook 2013 is set up as a Microsoft Exchange account. But the other ones are set up as IMAP/SMTP accounts and the emails don't show up in the inbox, only on the web. When I check the
    settings and run a test, everything goes through fine. Why don't the emails show up in my Outlook 2013 inbox? Help!

    Hi,
    What's the build number of Outlook you are using? Please first make sure you have installed all available updates. This is because Microsoft has released an update before which has fixed several IMAP issues in Outlook 2013. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837618
    If above doesn't fix the issue, we may also try the following steps to see the result:
    1. Open Outlook, click File > Info > Account Settings > Account Settings.
    2. Double-click your IMAP account to open the Change Account
    wizard.
    3. Click More Settings button, click Advanced tab.
    4. Under Folders heading, type Inbox in the blank box.
    5. Click OK and then click Next to complete the configuration.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Is there an easy view of assigned Retention Tags in main view of Messages, e.g. a custom column?

    Hi,
    I have a requiement to have an easy/overall view of assigned Retention Policy tags against a list of messages in outlook 2010.
    I envisage that if there was a column in the main message list view, that showed the assigned tag against each message and that could be sorted, e.g. so I can see what has an assigned tag (and what it is) and what doesn't, this would hit the mark perfectly.
    Any such capability?
    Can I create a custom column that extracts a message property to do this?
    If so, how?
    Thanks! David.

    Hi Greg,
    Sorry it's been a couple of days, it's been busy.
    Unfortunately not. I raised it with our devs to take a look at. I was initially after an assessment of effort. But they were quoting me a number of days effort just to get to the point of being able to tell me how long it would take. At that point I
    pulled it, as it wasn't a must-have requirement.
    Still, it would have been nice.
    To extract such a property, I might imagine an Outlook plug-in to extract the data from the property and watchers to look out for changes in various circumstances. In this way if you can get the data into a new Custom Message Property, a Column
    will readily display it. It feels a little over-engineered and duplicates the data just to get it into a place to show it.
    Maybe there are easier ways. But no, I didn't make progress.
    All the best. Ta, /David.

  • Remove "Mark All as Read" button with Group Policy from Outlook 2013

    Under the Folder tab in Outlook 2013, there is a "Mark All as Read" icon. How can I permanently delete this icon? I remember doing so with Outlook 2003 / 2007 through a Group Policy setting. Not sure how to take care of that with Outlook 2013...I
    think I need an ID code? I've tried right-clicking the icon and choosing Customize the Ribbon, but you can't remove the "Mark All as Read" as a single icon, you have to get rid of the entire Folder tab. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes, we can disable the “Mark All as Read” button in Outlook 2013 by using control IDs. Please follow the steps below to achieve the goal:
    1. Press Windows key + R, type gpedit.msc in the
    Run command and press Enter.
    2. In the Group Policy Management Editor navigation pane, locate
    User Configuration >
    Administrative Templates > Microsoft Outlook 2013 > Disable Items in User Interface > Custom
    3. In thedetails pane, double click to open
    Disable command bar buttons and menu items.
    4.
    Choose Enabled, and then choose
    Show.
    5. In the Show Contents dialog box, under
    Value, enter the control ID for the command that you want to disable. The control ID to disable
    “Mark All as Read” button is 1906.
    6. When you have finished entering control IDs, choose
    OK, and then choose OK again to exit the
    Disable commands dialog box.
    For more information about control IDs, please refer:

    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot receive email in my Outlook 2013 Inbox

    I am running Windows 8 and using Outlook 2013, IMAP. My laptop has stopped receiving emails; they do not show up in the inbox. Nothing had changed; it just stopped working. I can send emails, but emails received since this problem started are not in my Outlook
    Inbox. Emails prior to this are visible in the Inbox, however. 
    I have checked the port settings, root path directory, and other Outlook settings. I have disabled all add-ins. When I log into my email via webmail, the emails are in the IMAP Inbox. I have checked the Account, and Outlook logs in and sends an email test
    message correctly; it appears on my mobile phone, but not in my Outlook Inbox.
    I ran the Outlook repair tool, and it fixed a minor issue. Nothing has worked here. Any ideas appreciated.  

    The quickest way to test this email account using the least amount of time is to create a new Outlook profile and configure the Imap account. A new .OST file will be created. Simply make the new profile the default so it's used the next time Outlook is opened.
    There's no requirement to delete the original profile and in fact - DO NOT delete the old profile since you will lose your contacts/calendar/tasks at this stage.
    The above scenario won't identify exactly "why" things stopped working but at least you'll know very quickly whether it's profile related or not. If you only have one email account and your "mail" component works then you'll need to do
    the following to get your old contacts/calendar/tasks contained in the old profile since these are only stored "locally".
    From within the original Outlook profile (the one where the Mail component has stopped working)
    - create a new PST file
    - copy the contacts/calendar/task folders from your original OST to the new PST
    - close Outlook and switch to the new working Profile
    - from the new profile - open the PST file
         File --> Open & Export --> Open Outlook Data File (select the new PST file that was created
    - copy the contents of those folders to the equivalent folders in the OST file (those will show as (This Computer Only) - when done
    - right-click on the root of the PST file --> close
    OR.........................(something to seriously consider regardless)
    - instead of copying the items from the PST file to the OST file click on
         File --> Account Settings --> Data Files tab --> make the PST file the "default" for the profile
    (that will result in the contact/calendar/task folders being the default eliminating the risk of losing this data in the event you ever inadvertently delete the Imap account that created the OST file. You can't open an OST file separately if the email account
    ever gets deleted nor can it be assigned when re-configuring the account the way you can using a POP account.)

  • Send file as email not working when Outlook 2013 is default mail client

    Have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2 installed.  Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with Office 2013 installed.  When I set Default E-mail Application to Microsoft Outlook from Preferences I receive the following error trying to send any file as an e-mail:
    "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
    I have toggled Microsoft Outlook 2013 off and back on as the default e-mail handler in the Default Programs of the Control Panel, but this has not resolved the issue.
    I am guessing this may be a new bug since Outlook 2013 only recently came out, but if not, and someone has a fix, please let me know.
    Thank you,
    - Brian

    Please try the steps mentioned at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813745 and check whether the issue is resolved or not.
    If not, then try starting the outlook in safe mode using (Outlook.exe /safe) and check the issue again.

  • Weird emails showing in Outlook 2013 Inbox after Exchange 2013 PST Import

    Hi there,
    I've just done an Import PST from Exchange 2013 using the GUI, and when it is finished, I then open Outlook 2013 I am seeing a few strange emails in the Inbox.
    The PST's were from Outlook 2007, and were previously used in with POP mail.
    The message is like this:
    Subject: Undeliverable: Not read: RE: Re: information
    Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
          Subject:  Not read: RE: Re: information
          Sent:     20/04/2014 11:08 p.m.
    The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
          Big John on 20/04/2014 11:11 p.m.
                Diagnostic code = MailRecipientUnknown; Reason code = TransferImpossible; Status code = 511
                < #5.1.1 smtp;550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipNotFound; not found>
    The date and time of the message is during the import process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? 
    From a PST of around 8GB, I ended up with about 50 of these type of messages, mostly to the same recipients, but there were some different ones. From a mailbox of about 3GB, I got about 5 of these messages. From the smaller mailboxes I got none.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve.

    Hi Steve,
    Please verify whether this issue occur in OWA.
    If everything is OK in OWA, it seems the .pst import completed successfully. Let's perform troubleshooting on the Outlook client side.
    1. Please run Outlook under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    2. Please try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    3. Please also check whether the missing messages in others' folders or subfolders.
    I want to know that why you exported to .pst from Outlook 2007 and imported it into Exchange 2013. Did you migrated Exchange server from 2007/2010 to 2013?
    If it is the case, I suggest moving mailbox from Exchange 2007/2010 to Exchange 2013.
    Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.
    Thanks

    Set up Exchange Outlook 2013 email. Everything worked in the setup, however Outlook will only send but not receive inbox messages. Set up in Windows Mail and Apple phone and all is good. Only Inbox messages in Outlook not working.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that outlook client can send but not receive messages.
    I want to double confirm some points, please help me to collect answers to following questions:
    1.How is the impact , one user or all users?
    2.Cannot receive internally or externally?
    3.How about receiving by using OWA?
    4.Any error messages when cannot receive?
    If OWA works fine, this indicate that an issue on the Outlook client side.
    Please check whether the messages exist in the Junk E-mail folder. If yes, please re-configure the Junk E-mail Filter.
    Please run Outlook safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins, or re-create profile for testing.
    Please Send/Receive all Folder or Update Folder in Outlook.
    Also try to collect related error message for the further troubleshooting.

  • Outlook 2013 - Inbox not showing count of unread emails

    Ever since moving to Outlook 2013, some of our users are experiencing issues where their inbox does not show the count of unread emails. These user's are working in cached exchange mode. Taking them out of cached exchange mode, deleting OST file and then
    putting back in cached exchange mode usually resolves the issue. However, this is only temporary and the problem comes back. We are running Exchange 2010.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue for good?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the problem of Outlook 2013, please follow these steps: -
    I was also having the same problem. At the top of the
    Inbox, I clicked “Unread” (which is new to
    Outlook 2013, and different than the Unread, Mail search folder). It showed a message, something like,
    “there are more items on the server”, and gave me a link to view the items. When I clicked the link, no items appeared, but my unread mail indicator on my
    Inbox went away.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Outlook 2013 Inbox stops working

    For the past 2 months about once a week a couple of people stop receiving their mail in Outlook. They can send mail and mail sent to them shows up in webmail/phone apps but Outlook refuses to receive it. I have been fixing it by recreating the profile.
    I tried clearing Inbox cache but after that it just stays retrieving messages forever.
    We are using Office 365 with Exchange online. Outlook 2013 is set up with an Exchange account. Other people using same settings work fine.
    So far I have been asking this question on Office 365 forums who sent me to Outlook 2013 forums and they sent me over here.
    Any ideas what might be causing this problem or how to fix it permanently?

  • Some Hebrew HTML displayed incorrectly (left to right) in outlook 2013

    Hi, If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, before you can use any of the right-to-left features in Microsoft Office, or even
    correctly display right-to-left scripts, you must
    Add an input language and
    enable the keyboard layout for the right-to-left language.
    Please also check if you have set Outlook to use UTF-8:
    1. Click the orange "File" tab in the top left corner of the Outlook 2010 window and click "Options" on the pull-down menu. A new window titled "Outlook Options" appears.
    2. Click the "Advanced" heading on the left side of the window and then scroll to the "International Options" heading near the bottom.
    3. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing messages" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
    4. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing vCards" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
    5. Place a check in the box labeled "Allow UTF-8 support for the mailto: protocol."

  • Items in shared mailbox are not visible when using cached mode in Outlook 2013

    Hi all,
    When using Outlook 2013 working with the users own mailbox works great, but when a user connects an additional mailbox to its mailbox, this mailbox is shown correctly, but it contains no items. The folder list is shown correctly, but there are no items to be
    seen.
    These users (I have seen it with 3 different users and 2 shared mailboxes already) have full access to these mailboxes (Exchange 2010), but somehow the items aren't shown... When these users turn off cached mode, it works fine and when they use Outlook 2010
    it also works fine, but using Outlook 2013 with cached mode will only show their own items and not the items in an additional shared mailbox.
    What is the cause of all this?
    Kind regards,
    Erik

    Maybe something interesting...
    When looking at article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982697/en-us
    I saw that Outlook 2013 by default caches everything and that's what I wanted. I tested however adding this regkey to see what happened and after that the email shows up in the mailboxes... Somehow the mail from shared mailboxes doesn't want to be
    cached...
    Does anyone know what this could be? I want everything to be cached, also the shared mailboxes but somehow this doesn't work and it does when using Outlook 2010....
