Could you please explain what is the best way to search certain ways/topics through the emails? sometimes outlook doesn't pick it up the word and is saying that he cant find what I was looking for. Please advice

RE: email search

Hi Marcin,

When using the OWA and Outlook installed app, the installed app has greater search control.

Please could you try using the desktop version to see if that makes the searches faster/better.

I can then point you to some tips for saving searches if you use the same search frequently.

If you are looking in older emails - pre-migration to 365 they will not have the same indexing, it will be harder to find key words.

Kind regards

Microsoft Office tip:

Prevent macros from running when you start Applications

Macros are automated programs that can help you speed up your work. They can be embedded in caommands like AutoExec which will make them run as soon as an application like MS Word or MS Access are launched.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to switch off this function, and then can be done by the following method.
Hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the icon to start the program. This will suppress any automated macros.
