Question: A user accesses a number of shared mailboxes where the owners and users of those mailboxes had the bad habit of flagging emails. The result was that the To-Do Bar in this person’s calendar view was filled with these flagged emails for the shared mailboxes and they then struggled to spot and manage their own tasks.
Suggested Answer: To filter out the tasks from the flagged emails. we added an extra column to their To-Do bar called Message Class (found in the ‘All mail fields’ group). This showed that the flagged emails had a Message class of IPM.Note, whereas the person’s tasks had a Message Class of IPM.Task. We then added an extra filter where Message Class is (exactly) IPM.Task. This now just shows them the tasks.
Go to File, Options, Tracking and there is an option “Automatically process meeting requests and responses to meeting requests and polls.” Untick this and they now appear in your inbox so that you can deal with them accordingly.
Firstly, make sure you are not in the Monthly view as the Task bar will not appear in that view.
It could be a screen resolution problem. If you are using two screens, it could be that the resolution on the laptop is such that it’s unable to show the Tasks at the bottom. Try hovering the mouse over the collapsed list at the bottom and when you got parallel lines, drag them up.
The reason could be that Outlook is trying to send the page to OneNote for Windows 10. To stop this happening, navigate to File, Options, Advanced and make sure that the “Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10, if available” is UNTICKED
An alternative reason could be that you might only have OneNote for Windows 10 installed. In which case, I suggested that you request to get the more up to date OneNote version installed.
The only way I found was to open up the whiteboard website (https://app.whiteboard.microsoft.com/) and click on the Home tab to show your whiteboards and to delete it from there.
Question: I have two versions of OneNote on my windows machines; OneNote and OneNote for Windows 10. Which should I be using?
Suggested Answer: We do not recommend using OneNote for Windows 10 as it is missing much of the functionality, and Microsoft are planning on removing it.
Instead use the standard OneNote version as it has critical functionality in our courses that the mobile or windows 10 version doesn’t have (e.g. templates, Outlook Task link, better tagging etc.). .
