try something, go to your outlook, delete a spam, and look in the deleted items, you`ll be able to see pictures, links, press them, and if there is any active stuff there, you`re eated alive

Why such a big problem about security is overlooked ?

i can`t see pictures in inbox unless i click a clear "show pictures from" , ... but in deleted items i can see all the stupid things without being asked

please create a block to this files as there is a VERY VERY VERY BIG RISK

I'd like to see someone write a post about how the little markers to the left of the messages in the Inbox work in "View as Coversations." I love "View as Conversations," but, can't figure out the pattern / meaning of the dots.

@markhof98110 "This computer only" It refers to having the rule only run on the client side, not server. So for instance if you wanted the rule to run on your laptop but not your main PC at the office, use that option.

Hey, Roby, I don't understand something about Outlook rules. What does the "and on this computer only" checkbox next to a rule mean? Outlook adds this automatically whenever you create a rule. But there's NOTHING about this in the Outlook 2010 documentation. I Binged "and on this computer only" on the Microsoft Office subsite on Microsoft.com and found nothing--or rather, I got so many irrelevant hits that my search was worthless. So I also Binged "and on this computer only" on www.Microsoft.com got only nine hits--and none of them explained it.

I've been using Microsoft Office products for 25 years, and this is the most poorly documented option I've ever seen on a major Office product. It's ridiculous!

In the same direction of improving productivity in Outlook I've noticed the priorityinboxforoutlook.com Outlook add-in which has a similar behavior with Google's priority inbox. Worth looking at, especially because it is free.

I would like to see an "Move to conversation folder" (archive? folderize?) button on Inbox view, which moves the item(s) to _same folder_ where old items of same conversion have been moved. If this were tied to a shortcut key, cleaning Inbox of conversation followups would be a breeze!

Alternatively the context menu could just have "Move to <same folder>" in addition to "Move", or offer the "<same folder>" as first folder on "Move" (where <same folder> is automagically detected from current conversation).

@Josh. Thank you.

@Confused and angry. Microsoft made BCM for Outlook 2010 available free to users who have previous BCM versions and Outlook 2010. For details please visit blogs.msdn.com/.../outlook-2010-with-business-contact-manager-you-spoke-we-listened.aspx.

Why do they call it Home and Business if Microsoft has taken out the most business like tool in the software - the contacts manager. Now I have to buy a minimum of 5 licenses from a local software company in order to use the business contact part of Outlook. Criminal and stupid. So much for the home office.

Great post! These are really helpful tips and I personally absolutely love the "clean up" feature in 2010. I appreciate the way you used real-world examples too.
