Outlook: When I send an email message it doesn't leave my outbox

Outlook: When I send an email message it doesn't leave my outbox

I ran into this problem today and was baffled until I found this link:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/outlook-help/when-i-send-an-e-mail-message-it-doesn-t-leave-my-outbox-HA001187988.aspx
The above link says that it describes Outlook 2003, but the information applies to my Outlook 2010.

The symptoms are that in Outlook 2010, when I send a message, it goes to the outbox but is not in italics and does not get sent. 
I can forward that same message and the copy goes just fine.  Also, this is a global problem on several Outlook profiles, not just one.

The culprit turns out to be an Outlook Addin from Apple.  I apparently had installed the application called iCloud on my laptop, and ever since then this problem existed.  

I was able to simply disable this Addin and the problem was resolved.

Enabling feature .Net Framework 3.5 and Framework 2.0 on Windows 2012

Enabling feature .Net Framework 3.5 and Framework 2.0 on Windows 2012
Problem: The .Net Framework 3.5 and Framework 2.0 feature is initially not installed on a new windows 2012 server.  It has an installation status of "removed"

[ ] .NET Framework 3.5 Features                         NET-Framework-Features         Available
    [ ] .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)  NET-Framework-Core               Removed
    [ ] HTTP Activation                                 NET-HTTP-Activation            Available
    [ ] Non-HTTP Activation                             NET-Non-HTTP-Activ             Available
[X] .NET Framework 4.5 Features                         NET-Framework-45-Fea...        Installed
    [X] .NET Framework 4.5                              NET-Framework-45-Core          Installed
    [ ] ASP.NET 4.5                                     NET-Framework-45-ASPNET        Available

I am still trying to figure out WHY this is not "Available", but there appears to be 2 ways to install the NET-Framework-Core
 
Method 1:
 
Open Run with administrator privilege, and type this at the command :
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

 Method 2: using GUI

1. You have to insert Windows Server 2012 DVD or iso to D drive.
2. Open Add Roles and Features Wizard
3. Select .NET Framework 3.5 Features and then click next,
4. Select Specify an alternate source path link in the Confirm installation selections screen.
5. Path: D:\Sources\SxS and then click OK.
6. Finally click Install button.
 
 Method 2: using PowerShell

 PS >Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Features,NET-Framework-Core -source d:\Sources\SxS
