Outlook 2013-Open Next Message when current message is closed

I have a user who said that in previous versions of Outlook she was able to double click on an email (to open it in its own window) then close it (not move or delete) and the next email in line would open up in its own window. I cannot find where this would
be setup at. I maybe assuming that a special rule was setup, but can that be done?
I have the "After moving or deleting an open item" set to "Open the next item." I even tried having a search folder filter out only new messages, which would I thought trick Outlook into thinking the message moved so it open the enxt
item, but no dice.
Any ideas how I can make this happen?

Hi,
The setting of “After moving or deleting an open item: open the next item” is only working when users move or delete the open item. It doesn’t work if you just open and close the item in Outlook. Here is an article descripted the details about it:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/217
If you want to open next item in current open item, we can add a Quick Access Toolbar of Next Item in Outlook as a workaround.

How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?

New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
The pref for that actions is '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''.
To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.

How do i make a new unrelated tab open next to my current tab?

Opening Next Message

I just started using Mail as my mail reader and I can't figure something out. I'm sure I'm over looking something but it's driving me crazy. After I finish reading a message, I want to read the next message but there is no arrow to take me to the next message. Even if I delete the one I'm reading (which is not what I always want), it takes me to my list of messages.
I'd like to be able to go through all my messages without going back to the list of messages. I know I could do that in Entourage (and can do it at work in Outlook). I've looked at customizing the toolbar but that doesn't help.
Thanks.

I think HH4 means that when Mail has a specific email message open in its own window, there is no way to go to the next message. (i.e. each email has to be double clicked to be opened in a window, in Entourage and Outlook there is a feature that lets you roll through emails in a full window view other than the window/frame that the list view of emails is in.)
I think the other posters here are talking about the message view frame at the bottom of the window below the list of emails. If you have an email selected in the upper frame and are viewing it in the lower frame, you can use the arrow keys to roll to the previous or next email.
Hope I clarified things, and I agree that I preferred the Entourage feature, but it is one of the things I gave up when moving to Apple's Mail, which is better integrated into the system.

Open Next Message in Mac Mail

When faced with a long list of mail messages to read I would like to read the message and then move to the next without having close the message and double click on the next. I have hundreds of messages to review and am looking to streamline my activity.
This facility was available in MS Outlook Express and I am sure there must be something I am not doing right.
MichaelQ

Carolyn,
that is not Michael was asking for: I switched over to a MacBook some eight months ago and have been very satisfied with it after having used PC:s for about 30 years. These are awesome, and then some. However, having also used Outlook for a number of years, I've been conditioned to the functionality Michael described above: it is most convenient to maximize a single message window in Outlook and having read it, just click on the next message arrow, without having to 1. close window, 2. select next, 3. open it... you get the picture. Seems to be missing form Apple Mail, I'm afraid...

Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
Thanks for any help

Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

Outlook 2013 "Unknown Error" Message Box

I am running Outlook 2013 Professional and we have Exchange 2010.
Periodically when I am deleting messages I receive a box that says "Unknown Error" it doesn't say anything else and if I click OK it goes away... its more of an annoyance but we are going to start using 2013 more often and I want to see if anyone
has any thoughts on the cause.
Thanks

Open next message after deleting?

After reading a message and then deleting it is there any way that I can have Mail auotmatically open the next message? Most other mail software (Entourage, Eudora) allow this?

This is a significant feature that's missing from Mail. Apple needs to get on it.

Outlook 2013: Default contact list when I click on People

Hi All,
A question about the "People" pane in Outlook 2013.
Is there a option to select a default contact list ?
Many thanks in advance.

A question about the "People" pane in Outlook 2013.
Is there a option to select a default contact list ?
If your question is "can you change the default contact folder" via the People pane (where default contact folder means where contacts are saved when no contact folder is otherwise selected)
Answer: No
The <default> contact folder is defined by the data store selected as the "default" under Account Settings --> Data Files
On the other hand, if your question is in reference to contact folder selected by default upon opening the AB - then <Clark445Kent>'s reply applies

Outlook 2013 expands wrong subfolder when rules move email

Running Outlook 2013, Windows 7 Pro, exchange email with Office 365 directly from Microsoft.
No other accounts attached.
I have set rules for email from some senders to go to certain subfolders in my inbox.
Email is sorted by date received.
When a new email arrives and is sent to the correct subfolder and indicated by the number of unread emails in the left hand column.
when I open the folder for that sender, Outlook expands the subfolder for 2 days previously, not todays subfolder where the new email resides.
I set each folder completely collapsed when I leave that folder.
This is persistent and repeatable.
For example, I have a folder called "Purchasing" with a subfolder in it called "Apple stuff". When a rule sends a new email to the "Apple stuff" subfolder a small blue number "1" appears beside the "Apple
stuff" subfolder. Assuming today is Tuesday - When I open the "Apple stuff" subfolder the "Date:Today" folder is collapsed, the Date:Yesterday" folder is collapsed, but the "Date:Sunday" folder is expanded. I have
to collapse the "Date:Sunday" folder and open the "Date:Today" folder to see the new email.
Why does Outlook open the day-before-yesterdays sub folder - persistently?
How do I get Outlook to open the correct subfolder, or can I?

Hi,
I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my Outlook 2013, Today and other Dates are all expanded by default.
I'm wondering whether this issue was caused by some 3rd-party add-ins or a corrupted view. We can perform the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Start Outlook in Safe Mode. Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If then the problem is gone, disable the suspicious add-ins in Outlook to verify which one caused the issue.
2. We can start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews". This will restore default views, all custom views you created will be lost. Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter.
Check the result and hopefully we can fix it.

It's recommended to download and install

.XLS attached file in Outlook 2013 opens Word !

Hi,
I've a strange issue with some of my RDP Servers 2008 R2 (with XenApp 6.5), with Office 2013, Outlook connected to the cloud.
When I try to open a joined xls file in an mail, Word launches!
But if I try to open an XLSX, Excel launches.
And If I detached the XLS, and opened it with explorer, Excel launches!
These servers are deployed using a sysprep image, and there is only Office 2013 Std version installed.
Thats very strange. XLS extension association is correct, and everything worked well at the beginning. Something happens which cause this issue.
Please help me to diagnose and solve this strange phenomenon...

Hi all, and thanks for your responses.
I already tried to repair Office 2013, re-associate .XLS files and re-register Excel, and nothing works.
Some precisions:
Servers are deployed from a sysprep image (and image is a fresh handmade install) and are going to be used as XenApp servers
1st connexion RDP, as Administrator: Open Outlook mailbox, open .XLS attached file: Excel launches
2nd connexion RDP, as User: Open the same Outlook mailbox, open the same .XLS attached file: Word launches !!!
3rd connexion RDP, as Administrator: Open the same Outlook mailbox, open the same .XLS attached file: Word launches !!!!!
Something seems to be broken.
Note 1 – If I create a new mail with Gmail, attached the problematic .XLS file, send the mail to my Outlook mailbox, opens .XLS file in Outlook: Excel launches !!!!!
Note 2 – If I forward the problematic mail to my Gmail mailbox, and the opened .XLS attached file, Excel launches.
Note 3 – Everythings works normally with .XLSX attached files.
So, the issue seems to
only appear when I attached .XLS files in mails created with Outlook, and opened with Outlook.
As Fox Mulder is not available any longer, please help me !!!!!

Opening next message after viewing or deleting

Please can anyone tell me whether it is possible to adjust mail settings so that the next email is displayed when one is viewed or deleted. At the moment, when one email is opened or deleted it is necessary to open the next from the list. There appears to be no facility to view next or previous emails when viewing an email.

I've found numerous threads on this topic and no solid answer if Mail can do this or not. I don't think it's just a Mail thing, but Entourage behaves exactly the same and it's pretty darn annoying after awhile. It's just counter-intuitive to every other email client I've ever used. Any help or a simple confirmation that "it just workes that way" would ge appreciated.

thank youDefine Skip!! When?? during navigation, Query??
You are using WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger to validate records????
If you want the records that are "sealed" to be excluded from your query, you can set the block's either DEFAULT_WHERE or ONETIME_WHERE clause programatically using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Explain your requirements more clearly so we can help you.

How to apply an Outlook 2013 Open license to a pre-installed Office Home and Business 2013 installation for Email Auto Archiving functionality

We're deploying new Dell pc's.
Unfortunately we have a large existing install base of Office Home and Business in the field due to customers buying Office bundled on Dell machines. Buying Open License Outlook licenses is more cost effective than upgrading to Office Pro Plus for all
these users and is our preferred path. We aren’t sure how to apply these Open License Outlook licenses since the Home and Business installations work off a single license key for all the applications

Hi,
Isn't the Office bundled on Dell machines already activated?
If it's the OEM version that has been installed on the machines and you want to use retail product keys to activate the Office, it's not possible. You will need to uninstall the OEM version and install the retail version.
You can check the OEM licensing system here:
http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/productlicensing/Pages/office-2013-licensing-packaging.aspx
To find more help about OEM depolyment, I should recommend you to get contact with the OEM Reseller Support System

If I misunderstood anything, please feel free to post back.

While opening a new tab via the Alt + Enter command, is it possible to make it open next to the current tab, and not in the end?

Any insight on how to achieve this will be very welcome.

There is not a built-in setting for opening new "unrelated" tabs anywhere except at the end of the tab bar.
Various add-on authors have tackled this request over the years. It's not really clear to me which of these extensions still work, but you might check the reviews and see what you think. (I haven't tried these myself)
