Outlook 2013 does not display category colors in list view

I use Outlook 2013 with a Microsoft Exchange email account. In my Tasks folder, I use the Categories field to color-code my tasks. In Outlook 2010 the color and category name showed up in list view, but in Outlook 2013 only the category name
is shown. Is it possible to show the color too?

hi Diane
I tried to reset the view and categories is still not showing. I use it so much in 2010 version on another computer and now I can't seem to live without it. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to manage categories in 2013 but it seems much
harder to use for some strange reason.
I would imagine that something like categories is much loved and much used and thus should work as before.
Please help :)
thanks

Search for mail in Outlook 2013 does not have all emails in result.

Hi, we have a user that tries to search for a sertain mail in her mailbox, and when she searches, a few mail comes up, but the one she knows is there, and that fits the search pattern, is not listed in the results.
We have tried to reindex the database the user was on, we have moved her to another database, and none of these have given us the result we want.
We have also removed the checkmark in "Search" in Outlook for "Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown".
If she does the same search in OWA or Outlook 2010, the result is as expected, but in Outlook 2013, it is not.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what could be done to solve it?
Google(Bing) produces very little results that are relevant to this for me.
Hope someone here has an answer :)

Outlook 2013 does not open after Windows / updates

Hi,
I had installed Office 2013 on my Windows PC. I got updates for Office 2013 and after that my Outlook stoped working. It did not open except in safe mode. I checked similar problems and tried to remove add ins in safe mode but still does not work. Tried
to create new profile no success. Then I tried to re install it yesterday and it worked fine until I got updates again today and it stops open again.
Is something wrong with Office 2013 updates?
Any suggestion/solutions to fix this problem.
Chagi

Hi,
Since Outlook works fine in safe mode, you can also try to open Outlook with
/safe:1 and /safe:3 commands to narrow down the cause.
/safe:1 Starts Outlook with the Reading Pane off.
/safe:3 Both native and managed Component Object Model (COM) add-ins are turned off.
Please also try to open Outlook with /resetnavpane command to check if this issue is caused by corrupted Navigation Pane settings. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press Enter.
If above not working, please try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair your Outlook data file errors to check the result. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
In addition, you can try to uninstall these updates to check if Outlook will work, so that we can determine if this issue is caused by released updates.

Outlook 2013 does not send / receive mails but connected to Exchange server

HI All,
Outlook 2013 displays connected message but when compose and send a mail, the message hangs for more than an hour. Yes if I restart the outlook, the message is sent. Otherwise the message will lag for hours. Even I am not able to receive it.
The problem is not faced by OWA. Outlook Web App works perfectly. But Microsoft Outlook 2013 not working perfectly. Folks I need help to close the case with customer.
Regards,
AbuYasir

Hi AbuYasir,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, please create a new profile to check the result.
Besides, make sure that you install the latest Outlook 2013 Service Pack.
For your convenience:

Outlook 2013 does not print "To:"

Hello All,
I have a few .eml files that are not printing correctly in Outlook 2013. After opening the files and selecting to Print or Print Preview, the "To:" header does not print. It is just simply excluded. If the same file is opened in Outlook 2010, the
message prints properly.
Other emails in my inbox print properly, so the issue is on the files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your response!

Hi,
I didn't reproduce this issue in my Outlook 2013.
If you just print an email from the list (not a .msg file), does this issue persist?
Outlook keep its printing style settings in a file called OutPrnt. We could solve this issue by renaming the OutPrnt file to .old when Outlook is closed.
You can find this file:
drive:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
We can also create a new profile to test if this issue exist:

Outlook 2013 does not redirect emails to an external email address

I'm trying to redirect incoming outlook emails to my Hotmail account (or gmail) When I set a rule in ECP for my outlook account, it works. However, if I set a local rule from Outlook 2013 Desktop client, I receive in outlook 2013, but it does not redirect
(or forward) to my Hotmail or any non organization email address.
Is there something I should do on server side?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to create the corresponding mail contact and select this from the outlook for the redirection rule

ICal does not display all items in month view

Hi,
in month view, iCal displays ... to show that some items are not displayed. However, this happens many times when there is ample space to display the item, and even happens when there is only one item!
Does anybody know how to force iCal to show as many as possible items?

Hey, thank you.
But how do I change the font and its size?

SharePoint Designer 2013 does not load working workflows in design view

Hello,
I would like to share with you a strange thing that happens to me with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I designed two list workflows with SPD 2013 for a Sharepoint Online platform.
Both workflows works in the engine as designed, but sometimes happens that in SPD they just don't open in the designer view, even if they do not give errors in the execution view
The error message is that Sharepoint Designer has encountered an error and needs to be restarted. (Obviously restarting does not solve).
Sometimes happens also that the workflows opens but blank, with no steps.
Since this is an online platform, I can't consult logs.
I am thinking to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I would like also to ask to the community if someone encountered this and can suggest a way to troubleshoot what happened and why.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow cannot be opened in SharePoint Designer and sometimes it opened with no steps.
Did this issue occur with other workflows and did it occur often with the same workflow?
I recommend to uninstall SharePoint Designer, delete all the files in the three locations below:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
After that reboot the client and re-install SharePoint Designer 2013 with the latest updates packaged to see if the issue still occurs.
If the issue still occurs with the same workflow, it may be caused by a known issue or by manual manipulation of the XAML in
SharePoint Designer 2013 that can
corrupt the workflow, then we need to recreate the workflow.
Best regards.
Thanks

Seriously? CRM does not display Email in customer list anymore?

OR is it that I am missing something?
In CRM go to Customers, and choose all
Listed is
Name
City
Country
Customer Type
Lead Source
Industry
Rating
Now it is possible that some people think all of those items are extremely important and dont care about the email address, but as the email address is the most important item for identification in the BC system - why is it not listed?
My client has pages oif email addresses without names or the other items, and is not willing to View each one to find the person they want.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to show a column in Customers that shows the email address?
As search only works on First Name or Last Name for partial searches (ie enter four characters, and BC shows matches)
but for Email, only works if the Full email is entered. (update - actually entering email address does not work for searching at all)
The client is stuck and cant get to the records without heaps of work.

Well I did say my customer received the auto respond from a campaign, but should have explained it properly.
Liam if I export them, and delete the ones I want,and then import them, I am guessing that wont actually delete them in the DB, as the import will only be looking for changes.
So for others that have this problem.
You could export them
change the optin staus to "No" in the spreadsheet
Import them again
Sort them by clicking on the "Opt-in Status" Column
then delete them
Its not elegant and takes time, but it is a solution.
I only had a few so I got the emails that were sent to the customer, put them in a spreadsheet, and sorted them. Then I sorted the list by clicking in the "Email Address" column, and wnet through the pages and deleted the ones I need to. It also took time.
I dont understand why there is not a "Search" Function for lists; OR
a bulk delete.

GUI Bug Outlook 2013 while sorting E-Mail in the list view in the main window

Hello,
I found a bug in Outlook 2013 - following occures: in main window, when I sort the list view with e-mails by "sent to" or by "received from" and when I delete one mail from this list, the view is not correct, because after the deleted
E-Mail disapears when I go with my mouse Cursor over other e-mails in the list Outlook 2013 shows all mails from the top of the list (beginning in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order) as I move with mouse over neighbour mails from the corrected view
instead of the same view with only that one item deleted. The scroll element right has the right Position, but after clicking on the arrow up or arrow down within this element it jumps to the start. This has worked in my Outlook 2010 well, and this is very
unpleasant because I can not work well everytime sorting my mails right again after I deleted one. This seems to be only the case if I sort my mails by Name, not if sorted by size or received/sent date, then list view works well. I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64
and Office 2013 x32, on HP6910 with ATI graphics Card. Whole System works fine since years. Is there any log file I can submit? Is my description clear? Please help , thanks.

Metadata not displaying properly in movie list view 12.1.0.50

Has anyone had issues with metadata not displaying properly in iTunes iTunes 12.1.0.50?
Seems since the last update or maybe even before that the metadata is not displaying properly in the movies/list view window. All seems fine in the movies window with the display, nice art work along with all the metadata which I've been adding with the Subler app. Been using this app a long time and it has always been fine.
As can be seen in the attached screen shot, the titles of the lower entries are missing and the director information shows where the artists should be.
When I got to get info everything is as it should be. Any solutions out there?

I had been experiencing this very same problem, and it drove me crazy. Luckily, after searching for the answer on multiple forums, I found a solution. MetaX is a program designed specifically for tagging iTunes movies. Not only can you manually input all the required information, but you can also automatically input all the information from outside sources from within the program. It worked beautifully for me with my copy of Donnie Darko, which I ripped using HandBrake.

Display does not display any color

I have just installed the latest Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 and all the color has disappeared from my display, hence everything is in black and white. I am not absolutely certain but I think that is the last thing I did before the color disappeared. I have run ColorSync Utility and the first aid profile log has found an item to be incorrect but is incapable of crrecting it, claiming that it is locked when it is not. It says
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA27.icc
Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct.
The file is locked. Could not be fixed."
I have also run repair permissions in Disk Utility a number of times. Each time it claims to have repaired a long list of permissions but when I rerun it, it still has to repair the same long list of permissions.
When i log in or restart I have full color so it is only a software problem. I have checked settings in System preferences and they haven't been changed and are set for millions of colors.
Any ideas on what's wrong and how it can be fixed.

It is not clear at exactly what point you have no colour. You say you have no colour
then you say you have colour after you login or restart.

Lync 2013 click to call from Outlook 2013 does not have the option for Lync call

Hello,
We are currently migrating from OCS 2007 r2 to Lync 2013. We are on office 365, but Lync is on premise. After migrating several users the option in Outlook to click to call someone only shows one option, which is to call the person's desk phone. Before there
was a dropdown where you could choose desk phone, mobile or Lync call. This issue isn't happening to everyone. We are using Office 2013 and Office 2010. Please let me know if you have suggestions or if you need more info.
Not sure if this is related, but some people have lost the option to view their contact's pictures.
Thank you in advance,
Mitch

Hi,
Please see the image below, are we talking about this?
If a contact doesn't have a phone number, we surely can't call him.
You can try updating the Offline Address Book to see the result:

You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with your current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your outlook data file (.ost).... OWA works but outlook 2013 does not, exchange server 2013 on Server standard 2012

I have read a lot of articles and tried a lot of things, but I cannot get outlook to connect to my exchange server. This is a test environment, I have tried making my own certificate and signing it through my own CA to no avail. I have completely disabled
windows firewall and stopped the service. I can ping between the two just fine by name or IP. I've tried not using cached mode, creating new profiles in outlook etc. I tried setting my CertPrincipalName to my FQDN in exchange powershell.
I am not an expert with exchange at all, but I feel like this should work with little to no configuration, instead I've wasted days on this. Half of the articles I've read don't seem to have solutions, and the other half have solutions that are not working
for me.
I can access OWA and send emails on a client computer through OWA with no problems.
I am running a test domain on the same network as my current exchange 2003/sbs 2003 active environment, I don't know why this would be an issue, but if it is I cannot figure out why. The only thing I can see holding me back right now is not having a signed
certificate from digicert etc, and an official internet domain set up, but I don't think either of those things matter in my situation.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I'll gladly provide any other information requested to solve this issue, thank you.
