Outlook: Conditional formatting (bug)

I have stumbled upon another Outlook bug, related to filtering - more precisely Conditional Formatting: I wanted to automatically color my meetings with attendees whose email address belongs to a specific domain (use case: color your meeting by customer)
Unfortunately, the conditional formatting does not work for attendees whose display name does not contain the email address.

Outlook: Move Email to secondary Tasks Calendar

In Microsoft Outlook, I like to use a secondary Calendar for planning my Tasks. This has the advantage not to block my main calendar by default (else you have to be careful to mark the appointment as Free) and have a clear split between Meetings and personal Tasks management.
I present here my way to "put" an email into my Tasks calendar in one click without duplicating content and with a real link from the Calendar entry to the original email.

Outlook: Duplicate event, Organize Meeting Follow-up

It is a common use case to want to duplicate an existing meeting/ appointment especially for example if you want to organize a meeting follow-up.

Contrary to Google Calendar, for example, the Outlook client does not offer this option in a very intuitive way e.g. directly from a calendar item context menu or the item ribbon.

Such a menu is available in Outlook Web access/ in the browser (https://outlook.office.com/calendar/ ).

I present in this post how to duplicate an event in the Outlook client.
