Outlook 2013 signature issue

Hello,
I'd be very grateful if someone could help with the following query that I received from a colleague. This issue was raised after I asked all members of staff, to standardise their email signatures.
"I followed your script for this: my image comes out bigger than yours?"
My instructions (the script) was:
Copy the attached .jpg image to your desktop
Select ‘FILE’ from the main navigation
Select ‘Options’ from the drop-down menu
Select the options for ‘Mail’ in the left hand column
Select ‘Signatures’ from the right hand column
If you’ve not already set up a signature, select “New”, give the signature a name and select “OK”
Having selected the name of the signature you want to edit, insert or update the text and image in the space provided.
Format the text, along the lines of my signature block below, adding or removing any elements (fax no, direct line, DX address etc.) according to your individual preferences
Set the defaults relating to when you’d like the signature to be used.
Any guidance about why the image is coming out larger when sent from a different email account/PC would be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Richard 

Hi,
There is a setting in Outlook 2013 that may reduce the size of images, if you have ticked this option, the email that you send may display the image smaller than the one other people send.
In Outlook 2013, click FILE -> Options -> Mail -> Message format -> Reduce message size by removing format information not necessary to display the message. Uncheck this option and click OK.
Now send the email again to check the result.

  • Outlook 2013 Signatures not showing up at all after transferring signatures from Outlook 2010

    Hello, 
    first time on here asking a question needing help.  I recently bought a new machine, windows 7 Pro and Outlook 2013. I successfully brought over my .pst files from my old machine running Outlook 2010, Windows 7. This was great and easy, got to keep
    all my settings, rules, and private folders for Outlook 2010 right into Outlook 2013.  Then it was time to move my signatures over, I did so with ease however when I went to my signatures in 2013, NOTHING was present, not 1 out of 30 signatures I have.
    I sure dont want to rewrite each one over again. I restarted, made sure the signatures were in the right spot in Outlook 2013. I also tried putting the signatures in another folder and importing them in, nothing.  What is the deal?  Can someone please
    tell me what I'm doing wrong or has anyone had this issue?  Please help. and thanks. 

    Just to check, so you went into C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures on your old machine and copied ALL of the files & folders you found there, and moved them over to the same folder location on your new machine.
    After doing that when you start Outlook and look in File, Options, Mail, Signatures you see nothing listed under "Select signature to edit" at all?

  • Outlook 2013 sync issues

    I setup a new install of outlook 2013 this week - using pop3 and connecting outlook to my work gmail account.  I am receiving some messages but not all.  When i look back and forth b/t the actual gmail inbox and outlook 2013, there are several
    (about half) of the emails not showing up.  Not in any other folders either (Spam, etc.). Also, when i send myself a test message, i receive the message (by checking in gmail directly) but dont receive it in outlook - rather i receive a bounced email
    notification in outlook as if the email didn't go through.
    Need help....
    kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    When you finished the configuration of your Gmail in Outlook, did you receive a test message with the subject "Microsoft Test Message"?
    Does the bounced email notification sent from "Microsoft Outlook"?
    Since you can receive the message from webmail, seems the outgoing server settings in Outlook is OK. I guess something is wrong with the incoming server settings. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email
    account according to the steps below:
    1. Login to your Gmail in browser and open the Settings panel. Click on the
    Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and verify POP is enabled and save changes. Select either:
    a. Enable POP for all mail
    b. Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on (recommended)
    2. Now, open Outlook and go to the Add New Account window. Select "Manual setup or additional server types" and click
    Next.
    3. Select "POP or IMAP". Click Next.
    4. Now, we need to manually enter the server settings for your account.
    Your Name: The display name you’d like others to see.
    E-mail Address: your Gmail address in full ([email protected] or [email protected] when using Google Apps)
    Account Type: POP3
    Incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com
    Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
    User Name: your Gmail address in full ([email protected] or [email protected] when using Google Apps)
    Password: Your Gmail password
    Remember password: optional
    Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): disabled
    5. Click More Settings button.
    Under Outgoing Server tab:
    My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: 
    enabled
    Use same settings as my incoming mail server: 
    enabled
    Under Advanced tab:
    Incoming server (POP3): 995
    Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
    Outgoing server (SMTP): 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
    Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL or TLS
    Leave a copy of messages on the server: disabled (Gmail holds a copy already by default)
    More detailed configuration steps, you can refer to this:

    Please let me know the result.

  • Outlook 2013 - Calendar issues: Suggestions cannot be provided because free/busy data could not be retrieved

    I noticed recently that I cannot see anymore free/busy information for my own organization colleagues.
    I'm using Outlook 2013 (latest updates) upon Exchange 2010 (SP ?).
    The suggestion DO work on my account using OWA.
    Other users w/Outlook 2010 have no problems.
    I tried to run "outlook /cleanfreebusy" but that switch isn't supported anymore in outlook 2013.
    Anyone can help ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I didn't say two but three places.
    Actually, my wording is a bit confusing. In terms of where you go to remove them, it is indeed "Program and features" and "see installed updates". Now within there, I had the KB listed several times (3) under different products (like "Microsoft Outlook 2013"
    and "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013") and I had to uninstall the KB from all three entries.
    Note that, as per Robert Sparnaaij (http://www.howto-outlook.com, http://www.msoutlook.info)
    : "I’m aware of the issues but they are not as black and white as the article(s) suggest(s) and not that widespread either to do a general recommendation to uninstall
    a security update. In case of the IMAP issues, they are actually wrong.", and "It was said to
    be fixed with Path Tuesday for December (December 10) but unfortunately somehow the Outlook 2013 update missed the cut. It got published on December 13 after all but only was approved a little over 24 hours ago as KB2850061. However, at the moment, only the
    downloads are available but not yet the KB article nor are they currently being offered via Microsoft Update so unfortunately, the issue will drag on a bit longer. I’ve just published an article about it here:
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/news/update-2013-12-ol2013.htm".
    Lastly, "The KB article of the November update confirms that it fixes the Autodiscover connectivity issues with Exchange 2007:  
    If you are using Outlook to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 mailbox:
    You receive an error message that resembles either of the following when you try to configure Automatic Replies (Out of Office): Your automatic reply settings cannot be
    displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
    You cannot retrieve Free/Busy data for calendar scheduling.
    Add-ins that use the Account.SmtpAddress property no longer work.
    These features rely on an underlying
    Autodiscover technology. After you install this security update, Autodiscover may fail for Exchange 2007 configurations. Therefore, Outlook features that rely
    on Autodiscover will also stop working. To resolve these issues, install update 2850061."
    Hope this helps.

  • Outlook 2013 UI issues and glitches

    We recently upgraded from Office 2010 to 2013. Outlook 2013 ( corporate license ) is having a very annoying issue displaying correctly on my machine
    as you can see from the link below, part of the desktop or background applications is sometimes displayed.
    Only way to fix it is to refresh, drag the office window or maximizing it ( sorry for  the black lines but for the sake of privacy ) 
    http://gyazo.com/b1a6ebf15a810ae944f1e1201022908c.png
    So far I tried : 
    1- Disabling hardware acceleration - did not help
    2- Upgrading my drivers to latest available - did not help
    3- Disabled animation through registry as advised in some threads here - did not help
    4- Disabled all Addons - did not help 
    5- Repaired / recreated  OST file ( No PST yet ) - did not help
    6- Safe mode - did not help
    What else to try ?  
    My machine is Intel Core i7-4471 - 32GB 1600MHz RAM - 512GB PCIe SSD - Nvidia 780M 4GB DDR5  - 2560X1440 screen resolution.
    Also Outlook is really slow to open with 6 seconds to load, it's the slowest application installed on my Windows 8.1 Pro . Outlook 2010 used to open in less than a second. 
    I'm out of ideas

    Hi,
    Based on my research, we can check if we selected the option disable hardware graphics acceleration:
    File> options>advanced>display> confirm to clear the option
    Additionally, since it’s a pure Outlook issue, I recommend you ask for more professional help on our Outlook forum:

  • Outlook 2013 connectivity issue

    Hello!
    My Outlook 2013 stopped connecting to my Exchange 2013.  After googling for a while I found this article:
    http://infused.co.nz/2013/05/13/exchange-2013-outlook-anywhere-rpc-settings/
    and checked get-outlookprovider status -  it was exactly as in this post:
    Name Server CertPrincipalName TTL
    EXCH 1
    EXPR 1
    WEB I don't know whether this is the cause of my issue or not but I'd like to know: if Exchange Server has all required certificates installed why CertPrincipalName is empty in the output above?
    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Hi Mavis,
    Thank you for the reply!
    "How about connect to Exchange server via OWA?" - OWA is working.
    "About this confusion, the CertPrincipalName parameter specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate principal name required for connecting to Exchange from an external location.This parameter is only used for Outlook Anywhere clients." -
    as far as I know the only difference between external and internal Outlook connections is that external are SSL-enabled
    by default and internal are http-based. All Outlook 2013 connections are Outlook Anywhere connections:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123741%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#outlookanywhere
    Outlook Anywhere and Exchange 2013
    The Windows RPC over HTTP Proxy component, which Outlook Anywhere clients use to connect, wraps remote procedure calls (RPCs) with an HTTP layer. This allows traffic to traverse network firewalls without requiring RPC ports to be opened. In Exchange 2013,
    this feature is enabled by default, because all Outlook connectivity takes place over Outlook Anywhere.
    And I can require SSL even for internal Outlook connections any time...may be it is this requirement that makes this parameter (CertPrincipalName) show up...
    One more thing that I can't understand: when Outlook starts it tries to connect by using HTTP (and when it succeeds I can confirm this by examining its Connection Status:
    When Outlook can't connect the following event is registered:
    If Outlook is connecting via HTTP what does this error mean?

    Michael

  • Outlook 2013 Rules issue when more than 50 rules exist ("The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange").

    I think I may have found a bug.
    My Outlook 2013 profile has more than 75 rules. When I started testing Outlook 2013, I got the message "The rules on this computer do not match the rules on Microsoft Exchange. Only one set of rules can be kept. You will usually want to keep the rules
    on the server. Which rules do you want to keep?"
    I did the following troubleshooting:
    1. I created a new Outlook profile. This didn't fix the issue.
    2. I exported my rules, cleared them using "outlook /cleanrules", then reimported the rules. This didn't fix the issue.
    3. I cleared the rules again (outlook /cleanrules), then hand-entered the rules. This also didn't fix the issue.
    4. I reduced the number of rules to less than 50. This FIXED the problem.
    5. When I entered rule #51, the problem came back. When I removed ruled #51, the problem was again fixed.
    Does anyone know of a fix or workaround to this issue?
    Thanks.

    Sounds like you went over your "rule quota limit" as you do have a great number of rules.  Please see the link below for cause and possible resolution.

  • Outlook 2013 Sync issue forler has 4000 emails

    Dear All,
    we have recently migrated users to exchange online. there was a user who has a large mailbox (11GB approx.) the migration has completed successfully but user's sync folder has more than 4000 objects as duplicated.
    any idea on this is highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Conflicts folder contains all the multiple copies of conflicting items between what are in your local cache (OST) and your mailbox on the server.
    An InfoBar at the top of the original item advises you that a conflict for this item exists.
    The conflicting item is stored in the Conflicts folder. Clicking the InfoBar will bring up a list of conflicting items and allow you to resolve the conflict by determining which item you want to keep.
    If you still need the items which are listed in the Conflicts folder, verify if they still exist in your mailbox and also exist on the server by using OWA.
    If they doesn’t exist in your mailbox, you’ll need to move these items to a folder to check if the changes get uploaded now. If you can see these items in the mailbox, you can just cleanup the folder.
    In addition, Outlook 2013 contains an improvement as of the April 2014 hotfix to prevent these errors from being saved in the Sync Issues folder, you may install the hotfix to improve the functionality.

  • SBS2011/Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2013 Flow Issues

    Hi everybody,
    Some time ago I've configured a SBS2011 server for one of my customers.
    The SBS2011 has exchange and sharepoint, these services work fine.
    The exchange server is only being used for the calendars, no e-mail flow.
    The company uses IMAP through an external hosting-server.
    So in Outlook 2013 we configure 2 accounts, one exchange account and one IMAP account.
    Configuring the clients isn't a problem, and all seems fine, the calendar works.
    But when the e-mail flow starts, users wil receive the same email multiple times and it seems the system is in a loop. E-mail flow will stop or the users get the same e-mails multiple times.
    I've checked multiple solution regarding Win8+Outlook 2013 and IMAP, (issue about an update and setting the right root folder), but nothing seems to help.
    We installed Outlook 2007 on the clients and configured them with both of the accounts and the system works like a charm! E-mail and the calendar are working like it should.
    But the company bought about 20 Office 2013 licenses, so we need to get this to work on the new Outlook.
    I don't think there is a problem in the Exchange Server, but in Outlook 2013, possible because both of the accounts share the same OST file.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Been running my mind for months.
    With kind regards,
    Tim Grave

    Hi,
    Based on the description, I understand Outlook uses the calendar via Exchange and email via IMAP, so there are two accounts setup in Outlook 2013, correct? Then how come they share the same .ost file? Please try to configure an individual .ost file
    for both accounts, check whether the issue persists.

  • Outlook 2013 connection issue with exchange 2013

    my exchange 2013 was upgrade from exchange 2010. after the upgrade (migration), i using outlook 2013 connect to exchange 2013. some very
    weird issues happened.
    when i using auto discovery to create profile and connect to exchange will success. but when i manually create the profilewill failed. the following pic for your reference. (same account, same PC)
    please help, thanks lots!!!!

    This is what changed in Exchange 2013. It uses RPC or HTTPs (Outlook Anywhere) and uses Server GUID to connect...
    "As a result of these architectural changes, there have been some changes to client connectivity. First, RPC is no longer a supported direct access protocol. This means that all Outlook connectivity must take place using RPC over HTTP (also known as
    Outlook Anywhere). At first glance, this may seem like a limitation, but it actually has some added benefits. The most obvious benefit is that there is no need to have the RPC client access service on the Client Access server. This results in the reduction
    of two namespaces that would normally be required for a site-resilient solution. In addition, there is no longer any requirement to provide affinity for the RPC client access service.
    Second, Outlook clients no longer connect to a server FQDN as they have done in all previous versions of Exchange. Outlook uses Autodiscover to create a new connection point comprised of mailbox GUID, @ symbol, and the domain portion of the user’s primary
    SMTP address. This simple change results in a near elimination of the unwelcome message of “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox. Please restart.” Only Outlook 2007 and higher versions are supported with Exchange 2013."

  • Outlook 2013 Outbox Issues

    This is more of a fix to a problem I was having in that Outlook 2013 was sending "Sent" mail to the "outbox", as opposed to Sent Items.  After troubleshooting, (the Hotfix does not work for 2013), I found that the problem was only
    occurring on IMAP setting as opposed to POP settings.  Once changed, Sent Mail was defaulted to Sent Items Folder.  No workaround was found for IMAP.

    Hi,
    Have you checked the settings on the Webmail? If you log on the Webmail and send an email, will it be saved in the
    Outbox or Sent Items?
    I have a Gmail IMAP account setup in my Outlook 2013, everything seems good: I send an email from the Gmail account, it will be saved in the Sent Mail folder.(Sent Items is the default folder that saves sent emails
    in Exchange Accounts, the folder name depends on the ISP that you choose.)
    You can create a new profile to setup your IMAP account, if it works well with the new profile, just abandon the old one and use the new one:

  • Exchange 2013-SP1/Outlook 2013 connectivity issue.

    We couldn't make Outlook 2013 (latest updates) to connect to our Exchange 2013-SP1 through the Internet.
    Any PC inside the LAN (on the domain or outside the domain) can connect normally.
    Any PC outside the LAN (WAN) cannot connect, it keep showing this error:
    "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    OWA is working fine from the WAN, smartphones (Android & Apple) are also working fine from the WAN.
    Port 443 is open on the firewall.
    So what we are missing!

    Hi,
    Firstly, I'd like to say, in Exchange 2013 SP1, Outlook 2013 SP1 clients may use MAPI over HTTP to connect to the server.
    Before going further, let's confirm if they use MAPI over HTTP: Get-OrganizationConfig | FL MapiHttpEnabled
    If the value of the above property is true, I recommend the following troubleshooting:
    1. Check if your Exchange 2013 SP1 server is running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    2. Check MAPI virtual directory settings: get-MapiVirtualDirectory |fl
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Outlook 2013 authentication issue

    Hi,
    I use a work pc and a home pc to access my exchange serve at work. Work pc is office 2010, home is office 2013. For some reason, when I try and access my mail now using my home machine the my password is not recognized as correct. I use exactly the same
    password on the work pc using the same outlook profile, as well as other idevices with no issue.
    This only happens on the home pc using windows 8.1 and office 2013. 
    I have also removed any stored windows credentials but his does not seem to make a difference.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks

    Could you access your mailbox through OWA when you are at home?
    I suspect that Outlook client in house connects Exchange server via Outlook anywhere (Other term is RPC over http protocal). Thus, please check the setting from File > Info > Account settings > Select your Exchange account and choose "Change" >
    More settings > Connections > Outlook anyhwere, check if the setting is correct. Moreover, please let me know the current setting of Proxy autentication: Basic or NTLM.
    By the way, does it happen in any other home machines with other OS or in a new creating Outlook profile? Let me know the result. Thanks.

    Sounds like a corrupt registry key. Check the values in these two registry keys - it should point to your office install.
