• Users of Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016 often complain that the recipients of their emails say they contain double spaces between lines. This situation may happen in HTML formatted e-mails making the message look unclear and scruffy. The reason is the way the new Outlook handles new line tags in HTML messages.
• Question: Q: Folder contains excess whitespace (failure) 1025 Hi, In outlook for mac (version 16.35) I created a new folder with one blank spot at the end of the name.

Unfortunately you cannot change the names of user folders, you can change usernames but that will not affect the folder names. The only way to do it is to create a new user without the 'whitespace', then log in as the new user, which will automatically create the folders with the new username. Then transfer all data from the old user to the new. Cannot delete this folder, Ricght click the folder and then click properties to check your permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or administrator to change your permissions. Cannot copy the folder because it may contain private items.

Outlook 2011 Folder Contains Excess Whitespace Content

Can I use wildcards when using the Instant Search feature in Outlook?
It appears that I have to type the EXACT word to find anything. In previous versions of Outlook I could also use only part of a word to find it.

Example:
On Subject line: Jims Warehouse x027886

With Outlook 2000 I could type 2788 and find the record.
With Outlook 2007 I have to type x02788 to find the record.

Correct, Instant Search doesn’t provide that search option and will only find the items that contain a word that begins with your search string. In your example it would only find items which start with 2788.

Advanced Find

To do a query that also finds items that ends with 2788 or have 2788 somewhere in the middle, you’ll have to do an Advanced Find query that has the 'contains' condition.

To do this;

1. Open Advanced Find (keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+F)
   • Outlook 2007
     Tools-> Instant Search-> Advanced Find…
   • Outlook 2010
     Place your cursor in the Search field-> tab Search-> button Search Tools-> Advanced Find…
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Press Field and select Frequently-used fields-> Subject
4. Set Condition: to 'Contains'
5. Set Value: to '2788'
6. Press 'Add to List'
7. Press 'Find Now'

Of course you can also do this with different fields like Message and From. For each field that you want to search on you’ll have to press 'Add to List' to build your query.
