Answers

The social connector, which people also refer to as the People pane, is available in versions 2016 and earlier. Microsoft has retired that product now in Outlook 365 as of late July 2020.

You can show people in the favorites section of the To-Do pane. Right-click on the sender’s email address and choose Add to Favorites. You will see the person’s picture and email address available for use in Outlook. The search box in the favorites will allow you to find people in your emails. Once you click on them in the favorites, you can email them from the open dialog box.

Yes, this can be done with a mail merge, with limitations; refer to Chapter 5, Outlook Mail Merge.

The easiest and fastest way to organize your contacts is with categories, which allow you to apply color to contacts. For example, you can use red for family and blue for coworkers, or something that makes sense to you. Then, you can sort by color and focus on the group you want. Refer to Chapter 4, Organizing Your Outlook Environment, for a detailed explanation of categories.

It can be assumed that you are using either a POP or IMAP account for email, as was discussed in Chapter 3, Managing Email Accounts. POP accounts will not sync anything; IMAP will sync email and folders only. Contacts and calendar items can only be synced with an Exchange account, which is included with a Microsoft 365 subscription, as well as Google Sync.
