One time where this can be problematic is when you specifically need to type a letter in lowercase at the beginning of a sentence. For example, if you are sharing a case-sensitive password with someone, and you put the password on its’ own line. Outlook 2013 will automatically convert the lowercase letter to an uppercase letter, which would make the password incorrect. So if you are encountering a similar situation where you want to prevent Outlook from capitalizing the first letters of sentences, follow the steps below.
