Items that are deleted from a shared mailbox go to the wrong folder in Outlook

30. November 2016 Rich Tech Guides Comments (0)

If you have access to another's mailbox and you delete an email, by default the deleted email will go to your own deleted items folder, not the deleted items folder of the mailbox your accessing. To get around this there is a hotfix from Microsoft for every version of Outlook. See the link below.

  1. On the Editmenu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  2. Type DelegateSentItemsStyle, and then press Enter.
  3. Right-click DelegateSentItemsStyle, and then click Modify.

How do I rebuild the search index in Microsoft Outlook?

If Outlook is not searching all of your email correctly, you can rebuild the Outlook search index to fix this:

  • Click on File then Options

  • Select Search on the left then click Indexing Options 
    Click Search then Indexing Options

  • Click Advanced 
    Click Advanced

  • Click the Rebuild button 
    Click Rebuild

This will cause Outlook to rebuild its entire search index. This can take a long time to complete but you can continue to use Outlook and it will do this in the background.

This is an issue to do with the default application of file types.

1. Set the default email application as Outlook.
Go to the Control Panel > Programs> Defualt Programs > Set your default Programs > Select Outlook > Select " Set as Default Program"

2. Set Internet Explorer as the default application as your browser.
Set this in the same screen as above.
3. Set the following reg key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html. Verify that the Default value of this key is htmlfile.
Run > "regedit" > navigate to the location in the registry > Modify the registry value to "htmlfile".

You could do this in an elevated CMD prompt as:

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.htm /ve /d htmlfile /f
