  1. How do I get rid of the irritating box with all the link info? It follows the cursor and is always in the way.

  2. I am happy to sync emails in other apps but I want to keep a copy of my apps that drop in to outlook and not have them stored on the server as I am constantly having to delete emails to stay under the allowed storage space on the server. When cap is reached I then don’t get emails until it is resolved. There used to be a facility to either keep a copy of emails on the server or not – has this gone?
