Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?

Hi,
Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?
Thank You.

Hi Kavin,
You can try the below steps on the OWA server box,
search for this file name in explorer
File name: "messageoptionsdialog.aspx"
open this file in notepad
search for "chkbcc" you'll find something like this "input type="checkbox" id="chkBcc"
you need to update the LINE BEFORE IT to <td style="visibility:hidden">
Try this and let me now if this worked
Although I've not tried this for the OUTLOOK client, you can try this and check if you need
But this has worked for OWA for one of my client
I'm also not very sure if this can be achieved on all of your outlook users from a server admin point of view, coz this is a client feature and not a user specific active directory attribute.
Thanks & Regards

How to disable image previews

In the Windows client there is an option to disable image previews with

Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network:
Enabled
- Trusted Location #1:
Enabled
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue. Unfortunately it isn't the problem. This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post:
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername. (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened. This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates. Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface. The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

How to personalize reading panes in Outlook 2013, where 2 different users share the same mail account in O365

A company is using O365, with Outlook 2013 on their clients. Two people added a general account to their accountlist in Outlook 2013, which is used for "sales". For example, customers can send questions to this "sales" mail account and
both employees can read the mail and answer the customer from that acoount.
My question is the following.
Both employees would like to have a different reading pane/lay-out. At this moment, if the first user change his view (in his Outlook client) to the view he likes, the second user see a change of his view too. The first person like to see the preview
pane, the second don't... If the second change the view again to the one he likes, the first person will lose his prefered view.
I can't see any options to personalize the views at this account in Outlook or elsewhere in O365 for both people seperately. Is it possible anyway? If yes, how?

Hi,
I am not familiar with Office 365 account. But in Exchange On-premise server, the Outlook view would be synced to the Exchange mailbox.
If two users open the same Exchange mailbox in Outlook, the synced view for the mailbox would be also be updated to the local Cached Outlook profile. Therefore, two users can't always view the mailbox in their customized views respectively.

Adobe Professional XI crashes when attaching files to Outlook 2013

After opening a PDF if i chose the option of attaching to an email by clicking on mail icon the pdf will attach and send followed by Acrobat hanging and crashing. This behavior is consistent. I am using Outlook 2013 (32 bit) with Windows 8 (64 bit). All programs are updated to the current version.
I have repaired the Acrobat install and the Office install - the crash remains.

I'm not sure. Depending on which DVD I'm looking at they require either Reader 6.0 or 7.0 to avoid showing the watermark. The readme files don't say anything specific about DRM, just the watermark and the minimum version requirements. They work fine offline. And they're totally openable/readable in Preview, there's just a MARVEL watermark across the middle that's just annoying enough to be distracting.
Looking at one of them in Reader 9, under security I see the following in case it helps:
Allowed: Printing; Content Copying for Accessibility
Not Allowed: Document Assembly; Content Copying; Page Extraction; Commenting; Filling of form fields; Signing; Creation of Template Pages
thanks for the reply!

Disable attachment preview

I work in the graphic world and I receive lots of mails with heavy attachments. I would like to switch to Mail (from Entourage), but my problem is that Mail seems to display all attachments in the preview pane. Because of the size of the attachments, this slows me down and is of no use, since I have to edit them anyway in another program. How can I get rid of these attachment previews, while keeping the text preview (as Entourage allows)?

Take a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

How to import mailbox files in Outlook 2013??

How do I import Mozilla Thunderbird archived mailboxes in Microsoft Outlook 2013? I used Mozilla Thundebird in Mac book pro earlier, from some time I have been using Windows pc and for some reason I needed to access my older mails that I had archived from Mozilla Thunderbird. How do I import those files in Outlook 2013??
Please help...!!

Thunderbird mails cannot be directly imported into Outlook because of file format compatibility issues. Outlook can import .pst file format, so first we need to convert thunderbird mail to .pst format. This can be done here: http://www.gladwevsoftware.com/thunderbird-to-pst-converter/
After that follow these steps to import the converted pst file in outlook 2013:-
1. Click File > Open & Export > Import/Export.
2. This starts the Import and Export Wizard.
3. Choose Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
4. Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
5. Browse to the .pst file you want to import.
6. Under Options, choose how you want to deal with duplicates
7. Click Next.
8. If a password was assigned to the Outlook Data File (.pst), enter the password, and then click OK.
9. Set the options for importing items. The default settings usually don’t need to be changed.
10. Click Finish.
I hope this helps. thanks

Disable Exchange Calendar in Outlook 2013

Is there any way that I can disable a calendar for an Exchange account in Outlook? The problem is that I use one Exchange calendar for all my appointments. I have two separate Exchange accounts though for email (personal and business). Periodically
when I create an appointment in Outlook, it creates the appointment in the wrong Exchange calendar so I'd like to disable that one.

Firstly, if you want your appointment goes to a specific calendar, you should select any of the folder under that Exchange account in Outlook navigation panel, then start creating your appointment. In this case, the appointment will be created in right Exchange
calendar.
Also, you can set a registry value to always force the use of the default account. To force using the default email account, regardless of which pst file you are viewing, browse to the following registry subkey in outlook 2013 and add a DWORD named NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
Value: 1

Hi,
Which email client is the recipient using?
Does this issue continue if we send an email message to the user from web interface of your email? If this issue continues, it means the problem is not related to Outlook. It is more likely related to the email client the recipient is using.
If this issue only happens when sending emails from Outlook, please try sending emails in different formats to see the result. To change the email format, click Format Text tab and select a different format in Format group.
Please let me know the result.

Disable OWA hyperlink in Outlook 2013

Is there a GPO setting that removes the hyperlink to OWA that appears next to the "Account Settings" button under "Info"?
It appears for all users and some of them have OWA disabled, so they click on it and try playing around with it and can't log in because it's disabled for them. I'd rather remove the link altogether so they can't do that.

Hi,
We cannot get the Office ID to disable the URL shown under "Access this account on the web" in Outlook 2013. There is no other GPOs to do that either. This should be a product limitation.
A same question in Outlook 2010:

You may try the workaround in the link above by Tony, if you'd like to.

Exchange 2007: attachment missing in Outlook 2013 / owa but it was already opened

Hi folks,
We are experiencing a problem with some emails that have attachment.
We have already opened that Excel attachment in the past weeks. Now, Outlook and also owa displays the icon of the attachment (paperclip) but when we open the email there isn’t the file.
It seems that something has removed the attachment from the Exchange server also if Outlook has already downloaded the file.
We are using Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2007.
Today also the paperclip has disappeared...that's very strange!
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Diego

Hi Diego,
From your description, I would like to verify if there are any tips when you open this problematic email. Such as "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments:". If yes, please post the detailed information for my further
research.

How to Disable Popup Preview of Messages?

Hi. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to stop Mail.app from popping up the small preview of messages in the top right corner of the screen when they're first received. I find this incredibly annoying. I've searched thoroughly for a solution to this, but all I can find is how to remove the preview pane, which is not what I need to do. I don't know anything else to call this feature besides a "preview," which makes it hard to search for a solution, since so many of the results center around the preview pane. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I don't know why this doesn't annoy more people. When I'm working, I get tons of emails around the same time. The last thing I want is to constantly be visually interrupted when the new mail sound suffices. Either way, thanks for the help.

How to Sync iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (64-bit)

I used to sync my iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (32-bit) with no problems at all. I have changed ove to the 64-bit Outlook for reasons I do not need to mention here. I am now unable to set up to sync with Calendars, Notes and Tasks.
When I setup to sync using iCloud Contro panel, the setup runsa dn advises that it HAS been set up innOutlook. But in Outlook, there is no relevant tab or folder (as was the case in Outlook 2013 32-bit).
The Outlook for iCloud add-in is present in Outlook and there are no error messages.
I believe( from a Microsoft forum) that this may be because Microsoft moved the registry location of Outlook's mail profiles for Outlook 2013. They used to be under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles but now they're under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Profiles. Apparently this is to provide the ability to have multiple versions of Outlook installed. I suspect that the iCloud provider does not take this into consideration yet and that Apple will have to address it.
Am I correct? or is there a way to get the sync to work?

Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud. I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should. Weird!!
Thanks for your assistance.

How to create SHA2 signature in Outlook 2013?

My company has upgraded all Office software recently, from Office 2007 to Office 2013.
In Outlook 2007, I can create email with SHA2 signature. However, I can't find the same configuration in Outlook 2013.
Does anyone have the same problem?

My support contact couldn't find any support cases or bug reports - he found this article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2010/09/30/sha2-and-windows.aspx but it wouldn't apply here, since Outlook 2013 doesn't run on the older OS's and the newer OSs support SHA2. I recommend opening a support case - if this is a recently purchased copy
of Office, you may be within the window for free support calls.
