How to use Rules in New Outlook vs Outlook Classic

[timeshifter]

I wish more members would answer questions vs trying to get in a 6 page long debate over IMAP/POP and other nonsense. If members don't know the answer, then keep scrolling. I see too many of these and it's confusing to people who don't know. That's why I stay on point, get to the point and don't engage in those lengthy conversations of who knows more. I know what I know, no need to discuss it lol.

I appreciate anyone and everyone trying to help. Not everyone knows every correct answer. I'm not going to try to squash someone's participation by encouraging them not to post.

So if someone posts something that's incorrect, then it can be debated and corrected. The poster of incorrect info hopefully learns something along with everyone else. Sounds like a win win to me.

I just can tell when someone doesn't know anything about the question and hijacks it to be a discussion, which I find unneccessary but I understand what you're saying.

@callthatgirl I don't know if I'll make Ignite this year either. With the U-Haul through the house, most of my spare time is going into CISSP.

Toss in that I'm the only architect my company has, and finding a week I can just be MIA is near impossible. Revenue took a HUGE HIT when I went last year, I don't think my CEO is going to swing that twice.

Still, I'm plowing face first into all of the AI things where time permits for even more crazy things with a goal to convert all of my documents into a focused RAG I can use to write more faster. If I can get all that mess to work in a compliant friendly way who knows!

@timeshifter I appreciate everyone here too, even if I have an extremely funny way to show it. If I didn't care, I just wouldn't participate. But the passion I drive into this stuff is... intense at the best of times. I often come across as overbearing, and I have insanely high standards for all that I do. If you think I'm hard on anyone here, you should see what I do to myself! This is all part of why I can do what I do, but it also has some serious negatives I'm forever fighting. So yes, I need someone to get in my face on a regular basis and be all ROB! DUDE! CHILL!

@Sky-Knight I think this post turned you into a human
You're probably a hard Type A person, where I'm a soft Type A.
I just made that up btw.

That a new psychological profiling methodology Lisa?

You're probably a hard Type A person, where I'm a soft Type A.

I get that - one thing when focused on one's self and another when dealing with the outside world. Now it needs some formalization - somebody call the editors of the DSM!

@HCHTech ChatGPT knew the answer lol

 

[Sky-Knight]

@callthatgirl Yes, but you'll note it's hard to find any sort of name to go with those designations. I've been partial to Myers-Briggs for this.

So yes, the Hard Type A hat mostly fits, where it falls down is I'm not "in it to win". I work with sales guys that are though! For me it's more mind over matter, and feelings belong in the dumpster.

I was always a person, just not one people like at parties.

@HCHTech Honestly, not many techs know about autocomplete or how it works, so it's expected our clients have no clue about how they work.

The autocomplete does come over from Outlook Classic to New Outlook because the autocomplete is hosted by the Exchange server now (why your commercial clients have no issues), still has a local .dat file but no need to convert it. Other Outlook users will need it and I have a video (see below) on YouTube how to do that and my latest guide here on TN has the simple instructions https://www.technibble.com/forums/threads/outlook-classic-to-new-outlook-autocomplete.91959

Good idea to always grab a copy of stream autocomplete, that's the #1 request my clients have but I convert it everytime I setup a new profile either way.

Does this work with the latest Outlook? I had some issues with a transfer, so I'll have to do it manually tomorrow.

 

[callthatgirl]

Yes but it's tricky and most likely my first video I'll make. What type of email is the account now? IMAP or??

@callthatgirl I used your site to find some server settings for a customer email client today, so thank you! You really saved my bacon because the email host (Network Solutions) was supremely unhelpful.

@symbatech that's actually one of my top 3 articles on my blog that people search for. Glad it helped!!
