Outlook is a very popular management app, and losing access to it/getting hacked can turn into a disaster. Fortunately, there’s a way to restore everything. Read on to learn more!

Microsoft Windows OS remains the most used desktop OS by a mile with over 70% of the share market. With such a high amount of users, it is not surprising that the OS’s free personal email service – MS Outlook – is used by hundreds of millions of people, a majority of these being business organizations and companies.

The AutoComplete list is updated automatically after sending an email (see more about AutoComplete feature). To make it easier to work in Outlook, you can add useful email addresses to your AutoComplete list without sending emails.

If Outlook does not open your data file, or you can not find some items in your inbox, contacts or calendar, then your PST is apparently corrupted.

If your data files in Outlook won't open, or items appear to be missing in your inbox, then your PST file is probably corrupted. However, there is a way to recover your emails, contacts, calendars, notes, etc.

It is polite to reply to every received message, even if you don't have a time to process the message. To create a rule to reply for messages, see How to auto respond for some messages.
Sometimes you can't create a rule for some incoming messages because of unusual subjects, etc. So, you need to answer very quickly and work with messages later.
