Favorites order won't save in Outlook 2013 RTM

Outlook 2013 RTM connected to Exchange 2007 on Win 8 x64.
When reordering my favorites, the order completely changes upon Outlook restart. I've narrowed the culprit to the Outbox, Sent Items, Drafts, and Deleted Items folders. When those aren't included in the favorites, the order is preserved on restart. Adding
any of those and restarting Outlook causes all 4 to show up in favorites (even if adding just one) and they always are at the top, even when placed elsewhere. Moving them to a different position and restarting causes them to all pop up to the top again, sometimes
randomly removing other folders from the favorites.
Big bug. Any ideas on how to fix?

This does not resolve my issue.
I like to have all of my "Inbox" folders at the top of the favorites list. As soon as I move an IMAP folder to the top of the list (gmail or yahoo ) the next time I close and open outlook the order is changed. I can change the order of any other items
in the list though.

(The IMAP accounts are at the bottom of the list)
Image 2: I move one of the IMAP Inboxes up in the list
Image 3: The next time I open and close outlook the order is changed. 
               (to restore the order I have to remove the folder I moved from favorites and add them back to the bottom of the list)

  • Folder order won't save in Outlook 2013

    In my Outlook 2013 desktop client, I accidentally moved the position of my Inbox toward the bottom of my list of email folders. I have since moved my Inbox back to where I originally had it, but every time Outlook restarts, it goes back to where I accidentally
    moved it... once. Apparently Outlook saved the position of my Inbox the
    one time I moved it, but won't save it the many other times I fix it.
    Can someone tell me how to work around or fix this bug?

    Hi,
    Which type of email account are you using? POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
    We may try to use the "Show all folders A to Z" option to reset the Mailbox folder list to its default order. To do this, right-click on the top level of your mailbox and select "Sort subfolders A to Z" and then restart Outlook
    to see the result.
    Please let me know the result.

  • The Adobe add in won't save in Outlook.

    Any suggestions with troubleshooting the fact that adobe add in wont save to Outlook? I have Outlook 2013.

    I have not heard of an Adobe product called add in.  If this does not involve an issue with downloading Adobe software you should find the forum for whichever product this concerns and post your question(s) there.

  • Outlook 2013: "Perform a custom action" in Rules

    As described here:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/create-custom-actions-rules-HA102749447.aspx
    I can use custom action in Outlook 2013 rules.
    Please tell me, why can't I see "Perform a custom action" in rule action list in Outlook 2013 then?

    I've got the same result in Outlook 2013 RTM. The rule action option "Perform a custom action" is missing. Try to install the lasted version of Outlook to check the result.

  • Outlook 2013 won't auto-save emails if encryption or digital signature is enabled.

    In Outlook 2013, I recently noticed that although I have Autosave enabled, I never get drafts autosaved. The option is located in File > Options > Mail > "Save Messages" section > "[ ] Automatically save items that have not been
    sent after this many minutes [3]."
    Experimenting with why I have lost 2 long emails after system crashes, I discovered that Outlook 2013 will
    only automatically save emails if the Encrypt and Sign buttons are turned off. By default, I enable both in our corporate environment. So I never benefit from auto-save. I've changed the Autosave location and tested various other settings to
    no avail. But Autosave always works fine if there's no digital signature or encryption enabled.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?

    Hi,
    I just tested on my Outlook 2013 and experienced exactly the same.
    This is pretty much by design, actually you may find you are even unable to manually save these emails as drafts if encryption or digital signature is enabled.  I can also confirm some email service providers don't allow saving Encrypted Emails
    as drafts either, so this is not a bug but how it works in Outlook.

  • Print to PDF is very slow showing "save as" dialog when printing from Outlook 2013

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with one of my users.  The problem is intermittent.  At first when I was looking at the issue, here is what I saw:
    In Outlook 2013, I opened an e-mail.  I then selected Print, selected the Adobe PDF printer, and hit the print button.  There was over a 1 minute delay before the "save as" dialog appeared to ask me where to save the document and what to name it.  I did this for several different e-mails with and without attachments and the problem was consistent.  I saved the e-mail to a local e-mail file and the problem was the same.  This process was over 30 or 40 minutes.  I was pulled away for another issue and now the "save as" dialog pops up within seconds.  The user is complaining that this happens regularly.  I tried a repair, cleared temp files, and was going to try printing from other apps, but then it started temporarily behaving itself, so I can't tell you if the same delay existed in other apps.  I didn't see anything obvious in the event viewer logs.
    Has anyone else seen this?  Anyone have an idea on how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks,
    Jeffery Smith

    Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
    Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
    Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
    If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

  • MS Access Freezes and Closes when I save a draft email via Outlook 2013

    I have Access 2013 Office 365.  When I email a report from access via Outlook 2013 I have problems.  Outlook opens fine. If I hit send everything is fine. However if I save the email as a draft Access freezes and then closes after a 10- 15 sec delay.
    The email is saved as a draft in Outlook but very annoying to have to reopen my Database .
    The message I get is : MS Access has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
    I tried compact and repair but that didn't help. Also tried turned of add ons. That didn't work.
    Never had this problem with office 2010.  What can I do?
    I just discovered the same thing  is happening in Excel and Word.

  • Custom Save Dialog and Logic in Outlook 2013 Add in

    I'm creating an addin for outlook 2013. I've got it all setup and such but I'm not sure how to achieve my objective. My boss wants a button on a ribbon that is shown during compose, read, and similar methods and either opens a save dialog or just
    saves it automatically without the dialog. The catch is that I want to add custom actions for this special save button, where it will rename the file and save it in a specific folder. All based on the sender's domain and address, the date, whether there are
    attachments, and such. Either it will save the attachments as well or I could have a separate button to do the same with any attachments; archiving them and renaming them a specific way based on date, file type, sender, etc.
    How can I implement this? I assume it's in the method showMessage_Click. Which leads me to another question, what is the showMessage_Click even from? It is what causes my messagebox to pop up when you click the button, but assuming I want a save
    dialog or something else rather than a messagebox, do I still use showMessage_Click or is there another XXX_Click method to use for when clicking the button that would be more appropriate for my goals.
    Also is there a list somewhere showing all of these different event methods?
    Thanks for any help and guidance you can offer.

    Hello,
    It looks like you need to replace the standard SaveAs dialog with your own. To get this implemented you may repurpose the Save buttons on the ribbon, so each time the user clicks to save the item your custom dialog window is displayed. See Temporarily
    Repurpose Commands on the Office Fluent Ribbon for more information. 
    If you need to implement this as a separate feature - just add custom controls to the Ribbon UI (aka Fluent UI). See Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab
    by Using the Ribbon Designer to get started quickly. 

  • Acrobat 11.0.5 PDF Maker does not save attachments in Outlook 2013

    I had lots of problems getting PDFMaker to work in Outlook 2013.  Finally with 11.0.5 ver it appears to work.
    Unfortunately....when saving attachments it does Not  save the attachments.
    This is a very serious problem as I am dependent on archiving emails.
    Does anyone else have this problem.  Is there a solution.  
    Looks like I need to use non Adobe product...... which is crazy.

    Hi gnits999,
    Please make sure that you have set the correct PDFMaker settings:
    Go to Acrobat plugin in Outlook -> then click on 'Change Conversion Settings' -> and under 'Settings' tab check following highlighted option.

  • Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient.

    Outlook 2013 - BCC field won't auto populate with frequent email recipient. In the TO or CC, if they enter the first initial of a recipient, it auto-suggests recipients. This does not happen in the BCC field. Is there an option to turn that on?

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to a certain client or many of them?
    There is no separate option to enable/disable auto-complete for Bcc field.
    Since auto-complete works in the To and Cc fields, it means the auto-complete is not corrupt. We may try turn off the Auto-Complete and turn on it again to see the result. To do this, go to
    File > Options > Mail, scroll down to the
    Send messages section, clear the check box before "Use Auto-Complete List to suggest names when typing in the To, Cc, Bcc lines". Click
    OK. Check the box again, click OK and see the result.
    We may also test it in Outlook safe mode. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Outlook 2013 won't open Word and Excel attachments

    Had a new PC set up with MS Office 2013 programs.  Outlook 2013 Word and Excel attachments do not open.  Program opens, but to a blank screen.  This includes my attachments created on the same computer.  Boxes in "Trust Center"
    are unchecked.  Problem persists.  It is possible to save the attachment, then open Word or Excel and see the saved file, but this is time consuming and annoying.  Outlook 2013 should just open its attachments from the message without a thousand
    extra steps.  Thank you.

    Hi Gish,
    Thank you for your question.
    Did this issue occur in OWA?
    We could open outlook->File->option->Trust Center ->Microsoft Outlook Trust Center->Trust Center Setting->Attachment Handing->Attachment and Document Preview…
    Then we make sure all option have check. And didn’t uncheck “Turn off Attachment Preview”, or rebuild the profile to check if the issue persist.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • How can I migrate my Thunderbird email to Outlook 2013 on a new computer? I am told I need to save the Thunderbird files as psd files - how do I do that?

    I saw the instructions for moving email from Thunderbird to Outlook 2013 via gmail files but I have lots of folders. Microsoft says that if I can save the Thunderbird files as psd files, Outlook will read them. But I cannot see how to do this. Is it possible?

    Do you have a link to the guidance that suggests you save to "psd" files?
    I wonder if it actually said "pst" files - these are the proprietary file format used by Outlook. But you'll probably have to pay for a conversion utility.

  • Drafts folder relocation Outlook 2013 and Gmail IMAP and multiple saves to trash folder

    Hi,
    I have Office professional 2013 32 bit running on Win 7 64bit. I have an issue that I know has been discussed but I see no resolution.
    The drafts are saved on the server not locally and the trash folder fills with multiple copies of the draft, the number of copies appears to relate to the time of editing the draft. I have to go in and delete these copies in Trash after writing an email.
    Outlook 2013 does not allow me to remap the drafts folder I click unsubscribe and it says the folder is a special folder and cannot be unsubscribed in Outlook. I use the account on my iPhone and this allows me to unsubscribe from the folder.
    Has anyone found a solution or is anyone working on a resolution for this problem?
    Best regards,
    Clive
    Regards, Clive

    I am having a similar problem with trash receiving multiple copies of some drafts. In last 20 minutes 19 copies of a draft have been included in trash. It seems to happen when I view a draft --but not solely
    Using Outlook 2013 with IMAP GMail on windows 7 on a laptop. It synchs with my IPHONE. Yesterday I called Dell Support. They said it was a virus -- though a thorough scan found one item --it was deleted and problem continues.
