How to clear cache in new Outlook

1. I borrowed part of this post since I didn't want to include classic Outlook.

2. https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/clear-outlook-cache/

4. Clearing cache in the new Outlook for Windows is not as straightforward as in the older versions, but it can still be done with a few steps.
   
   Follow these instructions to clear the cache in the new Outlook for Windows:Close the new Outlook app.
   
   Open the Run dialog by pressing the Windows + R keys together.
   Type or paste the following command in the Run box and click OK:
   
   olk.exe --devtools
   
   Be sure to include a space before the two dashes if typing the command manually.

5. You will need to close Outlook if it's currently open or the DevTools window will not show up.
   

6. 
   The new Outlook will open (you may be prompted to sign in), and the DevTools window will also appear.
   
   In the DevTools window, click the Application button on the toolbar.
   
   Clear local storage cache. In the left pane, under the Storage section, find the https://outlook.office.com link under Local Storage. Right-click on this link and select Clear.
7. Clear cookies. Still in the left pane, locate the https://outlook.office.com link under Cookies, right-click on it and select Clear.
   Close the DevTools window.
   
   Once these steps are completed, the cache for the new Outlook should be deleted, and you can reopen the app for a fresh start. Remember, this process will remove temporary files that may include saved login credentials, so you may need to sign in again after deleting the cache.

Job Description Nightmares

Here are a couple of actual bullet points on job descriptions I have found recently.

Work Experience :10 - 15 years

• Own the definition, design, and delivery of a functional design

So, to break down that sentence, I need to be able to "Own the design of a design".

Here's another great one:

Competencies (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities)

• Advanced accuracy skills

Makes me wonder what a regular accuracy skill might be.

The scheduling section is even better:

Schedule/Attendance

• Ability to work long hours 

I'm sure this would follow OSHA standards, though. Right?

Job hunting is hard enough as it is, but deciphering job descriptions to find a suitable work environment is an art unto itself.

Outlook Startup Options

More times than not, you can fix an Outlook issue by either clearing the cache or starting up with a special switch.

Microsoft allows for many switches that can be run from startup to solves a variety of issues. Here's the link to the page that covers many Microsoft apps.

Pi IPO on the plate

Can't wait to own part of this valuable resource. I doubt it will be a money-maker, but it's still something worth investing in.

Teams client log prep

Another good article on collecting logs from Teams clients. It's always a good thing to gather logs and this is a great method for Teams.

I've been working with Teams for years and this is the first time I've seen this method. Perhaps it's a new feature.

Basically, just ctrl-alt-shift-1 will prepare a directory with all of the needed files. You can zip it up and send it off to support.
