Partial word, string or wildcard search in Outlook

Search buttonOutlook’s indexed search is fast as long as you know the exact beginning of the word or string that you are looking for.

If you want to search for only a part of a word, like the middle or ending, you’ll have to use the much more cumbersome Advanced Find.

For instance, when searching for “write”, Outlook’s indexed search will only find messages containing “write” but Advanced Find will also find “rewrite”.

A similar situation exists when searching for product codes or reference numbers were people could leave out prefixes, spaces or dashes.

Or what about names?
Katerina or Caterina? Kristian or Christian?

With an Advanced Find macro we can make these type of searches quick and easy again.

Autodiscover: Some quick methods to get it working

Autodiscover.xml buttonThe Autodiscover service is a required service for Outlook-Exchange connectivity since Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 but for whatever reason, in some Exchange environments this still hasn’t been implemented correctly.

In some part, this was due to the fact that you could still get basic Outlook-Exchange connectivity by using some legacy Exchange 2003 RPC over HTTP dialog in Outlook. This (unsupported) method now no longer works in Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019 and Outlook for Office 365 due to the removal of this legacy dialog since Outlook doesn’t support Exchange 2003 anymore since Outlook 2013.

Unfortunately, this leaves up-to-date Outlook users disconnected when Autodiscover hasn’t been provisioned correctly by your company.

This guide contains some reasonably quick and easy and some less elegant methods for end-users but also for Exchange administrators to get your Outlook connected to Exchange again. All discussed solutions are fully supported configurations by Microsoft and do not require any changes to Exchange or the need for a new SSL Certificate.

Outlook can’t connect to Gmail: Password incorrect

Gmail buttonWhen configuring your Gmail account in Outlook (or other mail clients such as Thunderbird and Mail apps on (older) smartphones), you may run into continuous password prompts or sync errors.

This is because Google has turned off Basic Authentication (which they refer to as Less Secure App Access) for all accounts since May 30, 2022. It now only lets you authenticate via the OAuth 2.0 standard.

As a result, you’ll get Send/Receive errors (0x800CCC0E) and could get prompted for your Gmail password again in Outlook and the login could fail even when you supply the correct password.
