If you have access to Outlook Web Access you can browse that website, click the certificate in the browser and save as a p7b file. From the desktop run MMC. Choose Certificates, then click the Add button, and OK. Choose "Local Machine", Next.

Browse to the certificate file you saved on your device and click Next. I have tested this on a Windows RT device and it does work.

Another key point is that some Exchange servers will then want to enforce certain security constraints on the system, including not using picture passwords, password strength, etc. David David 51 1 1 bronze badge. If you are using any add-ins with Outlook, make sure they are also compatible with Windows 8. Still, since add-ins are not limited to operate just within Outlook and with Outlook data, it is a good thing to check with the vendor of the add-in first.

If you are having startup issues with Outlook after upgrading, disabling your add-ins would be a good first troubleshooting step. Even though Windows 8 has its own virus scanner in the form of Windows Defender which basically is Microsoft Security Essentials for previous versions of Windows , you might opt to install a 3rd party virus scanner instead.

When installing your virus scanner, make sure you do not install any Outlook integration components. This is not specific to Windows 8 or any Outlook version but a general best practice for Outlook. There are many known issues caused by having a virus scanner integrated with Outlook.

These issues range from poor Outlook performance to send receive errors and from corrupted emails to complete data loss. After the upgrade to Windows 8 has finished, you might notice that no search results are being returned when you use the Search field in Outlook.

In most cases, Windows Search still needs to index your Outlook content and the rest of your computer or will fix itself eventually when the computer is idle. After upgrading, you might encounter an issue where pictures from the Internet might not be downloading into the message or that you get an error which reads;.

Solving this issue is 2-fold and requires editing the Registry ;. Step 1 The registry entry for the Temporary Internet Files folder can be found here;. Step 2 Outlook uses a subfolder in the Temporary Internet Files folder to write its temp files which are retrieved from the Internet. For instance; linked pictures and attachments. To make sure a proper folder is being created, we reset the reference to this folder so that Outlook will recreate the registry entry and folder automatically the next time is needs to be used.

Even if you only have upgrade media and not a full version of Windows 8, you can still do a complete clean install.

Of course, this means that you need to have a backup of all data that you wish to keep and restore that afterwards. The issues with Outlook installed on Windows 8 mentioned below also already existed on Windows 7 and will not be fixed by Microsoft. This is because Office uses its own file browser dialogs instead of the ones of Windows. A workaround for this is to add your favorite locations to the Office Places bar for easy access.

In reply to FlintFaulkner's post on November 7, I want to uninstall the mail msn app and discontinue receiving mail from there. Unfortunately I have set it up, added other email accounts and now want to use Microsoft Outlook. The web based mail app is not very user friendly. If I uninstall the mail app, will mail continue to go to the web on the mail app? How do I stop that from happening? Thanks in advance Thanks for that!

I want to clear this from my laptop because it uses a lot of data on my mifi. But a will I still be able to use emails from the email address by going to outlook. At the moment, because it came with that app installed, I have to access my laptop using my password on my outlook email account.

I don't want to uninstall it, and then find that I can't use anything at all! This is pretty urgent, so if anyone knows the answer, please let me know as quickly as possible!
