How to activate Instant Messaging in Outlook 2010

Hi,
I have a very bad habit of Instant Messaging. Currently, I am using
Microsoft Outlook 2010. Is there any instant messaging feature in Outlook? If yes, then please help me out in configuring it and using it.
Thank you friends.

Hi Peter,
You question is very unique and interesting. I would like to answer your query. We can very easily activate and access the Instant Messaging feature in Microsoft Outlook. Just follow the below mentioned steps: -
Click on File---->Options---->Contacts.
A window with the name "Online Status and Photographs" will pop up on the screen. Select the check box of the options
"Display online status next to name".
By this, you will be able to use the Outlook Instant Messaging feature. Let me know, if you face any other issue. 
Regards
Ashish@V

  • Cannot make AutoArchive delete messages in Outlook 2010

    I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2010 from Outlook 2007. I previously had AutoArchive set up to delete files from two of the folders in my pst file by date. I figured I would be able to set it up the same way in the new version. First, I set up the main
    autoarchive settings:
    Then I set up each folder I want auto-deleted individually:
    This worked fine in the old version of Outlook. However, in 2010, it doesn't ever delete any messages. When I run AutoArchive manually, that doesn't do anything either.
    Based on this page and various google
    searches, I have already done the following testing / troubleshooting:
    In spot checks, I could not find any items that had the "Do not AutoArchive this item" checkbox marked.
    The majority of the Received dates are the same as the last Modified date. Just to be sure, I made the registry change described in the link above, then used Outlook normally for two days. No emails were deleted in that time.
    None of the emails in question are marked as Important or have a user-defined category.
    I ran the scanpst.exe on my pst file. It did say there were internal errors (no details of the errors, even when I clicked on the details button), so I let it fix them. Then, I ran it again and it said there were no errors. I used Outlook normally for two more
    days. It still didn't delete any emails.
    The pst file is not on a network share.
    The pst file is a unicode-type file, which has a maximum size of either 20GB or 50GB, depending on what source you read. My file is nearly 3GB. It is therefore not full.
    My mailbox, which is on a Microsoft Exchange, is also not full.
    None of this changes the fact that the AutoArchive is not deleting any emails as it is set to do. Am I missing something, or does this feature just not work in Outlook 2010? Thanks in advance for any help with this, as it is annoying.

    Bob-
    I finally gave up in frustration.  I had to hunt down a third party utility to dump all my Outlook for Mac data back into a format that could be used by Outlook for Windows.  Outlook for Mac can import from several sources, including directly from .pst files, but gives you no way to go the other way.  Installed Outlook in Windows running in Parallels and dumped Outlook for Mac.  Outlook is just about the only program I run in Windows anymore.
    By the way, none of the suggestions in the Microsoft forum came close to solving this.  I wouldn't recommend Oultook for Mac to anyone.

    how can i use instant messaging with other iphone just like blackberry messaging

    At this time, there is no instant messenger application as Wright explained. Apple has not devouted to adding an instant messenger system nor widgets to the iOS, except by SMS and FaceTime.
    You can download many instant messenger programs in use for the iPhone. Most of which are free. There are also group messenger programs that you can record your instant messengers within.
    Palringo, eBuddy, Skype, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Google, and many more keywords can be used on the App Store.

    Please assist.
    Thanks

    Since IM is firmware it must be somewhere. Did you check all other folders for IM? Reset the phone or update with Nokia Software Updater. There are alternatives like Fring. Download with OVI store. You can find IM there too.

    Preference -> Accounts
    Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
    Do you mean like this?
    I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

  • How do I import mail from Outlook 2010?

    When I try to import my emails from Outlook 2010 I get the following message:
    "An error occurred importing mail from Outlook
    Unable to find mail to import. Check to make sure the mail application is correctly installed on this machine."

    You'll need to do it from a 32bit version - Mail/Live mail do not recongise outlook 2010 64 bit.  Dropping EML files into Outlook folder has always created new messages with attachments - this is nothing new.
    ETA: if you can email the messages as attachments, you can drag them from the message and drop them in the Inbox.  This obviously works best if there aren't hundreds of messages to convert. :)
    There are 3rd party utilties that can make the conversion but they may not work with the 64bit version. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/convmsg.htm for a list of programs that can make the conversion but i don't know if any of them work with 64bit outlook.

  • How do I instant message on my iPhone

    Sorry, but I can not figure out how to Instant Message on my iPhone.  I called AT&T and they told me about the Settings but I can not comprehend how to actually send an Instant Message. 
    I refuse to text and thought that's what my daughter was doing but she was IM me. AT&T said I do not get charged to IM.
    Could someone please give me a step by step method?
    Please........

    Sorry, but guess I'm just stupid.  I guess I must be referring to iMessage? 
    Yes, I had gone into Settings>Messages>iMessage>On... But after that I got lost.
    I wanted to send a photo as my daughter did to me but simply could not figure it out.
    I tried clicking on the photo and send but must be doing something wrong. I even asked my daughter how she did it but of course she's didn't know.  She was afraid it had gone as a text message which she knows I don't do.

  • Deleted messages from Outlook 2010 still appear on iPhone and OWA

    I have a very odd issue.  When I delete e-mails from Outlook 2010, they are deleted fine.  However, when I check my mail on my iPhone, or on the Outlook Web Access, the e-mail is still there.  I'm not sure what is going on.  Our e-mail
    is set up on an Exchange Server.  Is there a setting in Outlook that is not deleting the e-mail from the server?
    Thanks

    Hi Joseph,
    Could the emails be deleted via OWA and not displaying in Outlook?
    Please try to create a new profile and set it to online mode, then test the issue and see if it still appears in OWA.
    If it doesn’t work, I’d recommend you contact with Exchange admin for further troubleshooting.

    I would like to know if it's possible to send instant messages to a cell phone from my mac..

    Depends on the standards supported by your cell phone. Skype does exist for PowerPC.
    iChat supports ICQ and AOL instant messaging as well Jabber based chat standards. If you can get one of these, you can go through iChat.
    And finally for Twitter, some options on this article:

  • How to activate Custom Feature in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object model

    I am trying to Activate a custom feature using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010. Here is the code I used. When I execute the code, I got the error "Feature with Id 'xx' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope while
    creating site collection". Can anyone help?
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spURL);
    //GUID of the custom feature                    
    Guid districtFeatureId = new Guid("5b3529de-5045-46da-af87-8d2e32c121a7");
    Site clientSite = clientContext.Site;
    FeatureCollection clientSiteFeatures = clientSite.Features;
    clientContext.Load(clientSiteFeatures);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    //Activate the feature
    clientSiteFeatures.Add(districtFeatureId, false, FeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

    Hi shil chan,
    When you activate a feature on the site collection, the feature should be scoped to site or farm, the error message shows it cannot find the specific feature, this will happen when you have a feature in web
    scope or the feature isn’t installed.  
    So, to troubleshooting this issue:
    Verify whether the feature is scoped to web. Please go to
    Site Setting->Site Features . If the feature is a web scope feature, then add the feature to webfeatures.
    Make sure the feature is installed correctly.
    Please inform me freely if you have any questions.
    Thanks
