Outlook Prompting for Credentials

There are many reasons why outlook might prompt for credentials. However, one of the reasons that I often forget is when outlook tries to access an internal address or server via a web proxy, i.e. it does not know to bypass the web proxy when looking for the address or server in question.

Ensure all servers (including aliases) that Outlook should connect with internally are excluded in your web proxy configuration.

For other potential causes/fixes,  Ilan Lanz (Ilantz) has created a great troubleshooting list here.

Pop-out Replies and Forwards by Default in Outlook 2013

To set email replies and forwards to pop-out, or open in a new window, instead of using the in-line editor, select the following option:

File-> Options-> Mail-> Replies and Forwards-> Open replies and forwards in a new window

Google App Sync for Outlook and Click-to-Run

If you have a non click-to-run version of Outlook 2013, but Google Apps Sync for Outlook won't work properly because it thinks you do have a click-to-run version, try the following:

a. Click 'Start' > 'Run'.

b. Type 'regedit' and click 'OK'.

c. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRunStore AND HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRunStore

d. Right click it and choose 'Rename'.

e. Change the name from 'ClickToRunStore' to 'ClickToRunStore1'.

f. Install Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.

g. Back in the Registry Editor, right click 'ClickToRunStore1'.

h. Choose 'Rename' and change the name back to 'ClickToRunStore'.

If you DO have a click-to-run version of Outlook, I would not recommend trying to use it with GASFO, as Outlook is only a streaming version of the software and will effectively be uninstalled when you log out of the click-to-run system.
