HowTo-Outlook

This hotfix contains 6 fixes for specific issues which haven’t been included in the most current Rollup Update. Most notable fixes are:

• When proposing a new time for a meeting request, the window does not contain enough information, such as detailed free/busy information.
• Assume that you receive some email messages from a contact where the display name contains one or more hyphens (-). When you right-click an email message from this contact, select Find Related, and then click Messages from Sender, no result is returned.
• Outlook might crash shortly after startup when it syncs the calendar of an Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) account (like an Outlook.com/Hotmail account).

The optional September Update Rollup for Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 RT and Windows Server 2012 R2 brought 23 documented fixes and one of them is for the following Outlook scenario:

• When folder redirection is used for saving attachments to a specific folder, opening an attachment could take a long time when the network connection latency is high. 

For example, it may take more than 30 seconds to open a small TXT file. 

As this fix is included in an optional update, it won’t be installed automatically. To install it, you must open Windows Update from Control Panel and click on the link about available optional updates. Select the update and click on the “Install updates” button.
