Is Microsoft trying to get people scammed? New Outlook is insideous.
The new outlook was forced on me a couple of days ago. I've got some decent gripes with it but the biggest issue I have is it seems to be funneling less astute users to getting scammed. The first issue is the ads. Each account has an AD at the top of the list of messages that could easily be mistaken as an email. I originally felt I was okay ignoring them - it's just part of the deal. But, the ad I saw and clicked on today was 100% a scam site and preys on people that are susceptible to fraudulent endorsements of famous people. In this case it was Trudeau (Canadian Prime Minister) endorsing a way to get thousands of tax dollars back. It is the same template I've seen with other notable names (Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, etc...). Here is the link for those who may be sceptical. It is 100% bs: https://profgenpro.click/landers/pensupca_zeno/?domain=cdn.dripvoice.com&clickid=003f4wha8hevrdc1&uclick=wha8q5vr&uclickhash=wha8q5vr-wha8hevr-g63y-0-ciq5-b7xo-b78p-bcbb7c Secondly, hovering over hyperlinks in the new outlook doesn't display the actual URL anymore. It is the #1 thing I ALWAYS do when I see an email mentioning a bank transaction, package delivery, or anything that might seem relevant. What on earth are these people thinking!
Still receiving emails from blocked domain
Hello, For the past two months I have been reporting and blocking every email that comes from mailjetzky, yet for some reason every one of their emails still comes through. On outlook (see images attached) it clearly says "Blocking a sender or domain will stop their email coming to your mailbox". But this doesn't work one bit... this isn't the only domain that I'm still receiving emails from after blocking them. Looking on Reddit many people have been going through the same thing https://old.reddit.com/r/AskUK/comments/1hmtcmz/are_you_getting_loads_of_emails_with_the_address/ Please can someone guide me as to how to fix this issue with outlook, as the report and block button, should, report and block the domain from contacting me in any way shape or form....
I need to print an entire email thread, not one email at a time.
I have an email chain of about 11 emails that I need to download into a pdf and I can't figure it out. I've tried online and the Outlook app and I just cannot get it to work. I've googled and searched in here and no, I can't find the answer. So, HELP, please!No "Add account" in View Settings ... Email account
I'm following this instruction Add or manage a Yahoo! email account in Outlook - Microsoft Support to try adding my YahooMail account to Outlook but get stuck on Step 3. I login at outlook.live.com, with either Chrome or Edge. Go to View -> View settings -> Settings -> Account -> Email account. In the "Email account" pane on the right, I see my outlook email and a button labeled "Manage". I don't see "Add account" nor a plus sign. Going into "Manage", I see Subscriptions for Microsoft 365 and Copilot. How do I add another account? Any help will be appreciated!
Long delay for incoming emails for one of my gmail accounts

I also have this set up for which is working. HOWEVER, when i click ONCE on an unread, go to do something else, and go back to it, it has opened it! Can someone please advise as people in the office will start getting annoyed with me and i'm new 🥹😭. Thank you!
[SEMI-CRITICAL] Outlook rules aren't working when email encoding system is different
(First, note that I am a Korean, and my report may use a different term for the system because it's tedious to figure out the original term for what I am using. I believe you know the vibe I am talking about.) I figured using different character encoding system may result in failing outlook rules working. Basically, it appears Outlook is using UTF-8 based, but sometimes emails from other organisations use different. Let me show 2 receiver cases: To: =?utf-8?B?7ZmN6ri464+Z?= <johndoe@secret.secret> To: =?ks_c_5601-1987?B?yKux5rW/?= <johndoe@secret.secret> This is what you can see from an email header, and left encoded characters are a name of a person, and obviously right bracket ones are their email. You can see it uses different encoding system. Both are encoded from "홍길동" (this is identical to a random guy name as much as how john doe is.) We can guess the name of this outlook user is obviously "홍길동" and their email address is johndoe@secret.secret When you choose a rule [When an email has my name], the rule system will only work to the first case, the UTF-8 encoded one. It appears the rule [When an email has my name] only checks if an email has "?utf-8?B?7ZmN6ri464+Z?", but doesn't check "?ks_c_5601-1987?B?yKux5rW/?". However, both cases should work because both are their name. The only solution for this is adjusting senders' email system to use UTF-8 only, but that is not possible. Thus it fails checking those conditions. I am pretty sure this is why people have been complaining outlook rules doesn't work for years. I want rules having more possible case checks... but I have no idea where I can suggest this.
Email not showing in Outlook Inbox - but is on phone and Webmail?
Hi there... I am stumped. I am receiving email son my phone and Webmail - but my Outlook Inbox is not syncing the same. What is more weird is if I use Outlook to search for a NEW email (that is on my phone) - it actually does show up? Any help on this would be appreciatedChanging email providers, Can I just change server settings
We own 2 domains, mkchambers.net and mkchambers.com. Mkchambers.net is hosted at company A mkchambers.com is hosted at company B. Our email is hosted at company A, so our email addresses are ***@mkchambers.net. The web base email program company A uses allows to use alias email addresses, so we aliased everyone’s email address to ***@mkchambers.com. When we setup everyone’s email in Outlook 2019 we used ***@mkchambers.com for their email address. We are planning to switch our email host to company B so our email addresses won’t change they will still be ***@mkchambers.com. The question I have is will we need to export everyone’s email, setup a new email account in Outlook 2019 and then import the emails, or since the email addresses will be the same can we just change the server setting in Outlook to company B’s settings.
Outlook Legacy Mac doesn't display Latin1 & Unicode in Subject from Gmail correctly
[Second version of this post with fewer Latin1 & Unicode characters) Summary: Outlook Legacy on Mac is not correctly displaying non-ASCII characters in the subject line, when sent from other mail clients, including Gmail. From Apple Mail: Original subject line: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: “®©” Unicode: ✅🚩♻︎ Body: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: “®©” Unicode: ✅🚩♻︎ Displayed by Outlook: In the message list: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: ╲®©╡ Unicode: â˛∑›ƒ˚©â˙»ï¸⁄ In the MessageSource: Subject: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: ‚Äú¬Æ¬©‚Äù Unicode: ‚úÖüö©‚ôªÔ∏é Note that all of the characters in the original subject line display correctly in the message body. Some of the Latin1 characters are displaying correctly in the subject line (in this example the Copyright symbol), but not others, and none of the Unicode symbols. The same email displays correctly in Gmail. The test email sent directly from Gmail displays the same way in Outlook. However, when the message is sent FROM Outlook, the subject and body appear correct. MessageSource: Subject: Mail FROM Outlook: Latin1: =?UTF-8?B?4oCcwq7CqeKAnQ==?= Unicode: =?UTF-8?B?4pyF8J+aqeKZu++4jg==?= Details: Using MacOS 13.7, Outlook Version 16.91 (24111020) Gmail (Google Workspace) is the email provider. The problem occurs when sending via Gmail directly, or another email client like Apple Mail. I tested sending an email from outlook.office.com and the problem does not occur! Incoming MessageSource: Subject: =?utf-8?B?T3V0bG9va1dlYiB0byBPdXRsb29rOiBMYXRpbjE6IOKAnMKuwqnigJ0gVW5p?= =?utf-8?B?Y29kZTog4pyF8J+aqeKZu++4jg==?= This problem does not occur when switching to New Outlook, and the incoming messages display correctly from all sources. This leads me to believe it's an Outlook Legacy problem, not a Gmail encoding problem (ie. Legacy is just not supporting the specific subject-line encoding being used by Gmail.)How to Remove Generic 'Office' Location in Microsoft Places for Accurate Building Selection?
After adding custom buildings in Microsoft Places for users to choose from as their hybrid work location in Outlook, is there a way to hide or remove the generic "Office" location? Currently, users tend to select "Office" (Kontor in Swedish) instead of the specific building, which causes confusion.
RSS Feed Folder Missing In Shared Mailbox
Hello, I want to subscribe to few RSS feed in Outlook 365, recently I was able to add RSS feeds in my personal mailbox RSS feed folder but now I want to make sure my whole team should get alerts when there is new update released by product hence instead of asking everyone to configure RSS feed personally I thought of creating shared mailbox where all have access and thought of adding RSS feeds their for our product websites. But unfortunately I dint find RSS feeds folder under shared mailbox, also I tried to change RSS feed folder delivery location to shared mailbox data file but it doesnt allow (due to .ost extension). Does anyone know how can I add RSS feed in shared mailbox if its really supported ? if its not supported then any official blog that has the statement declared by Microsoft ? Or is there better option to configure RSS feed in outlook so that my entire team will track alerts. Regards, Suraj MalusareOutlook 365 Password
I have Outlook mail as part of a Microsoft 365 personal subscription. I have a password for my Microsoft account but I don't recall setting a password for Outlook. However, I do have access to my Outlook mail. How can I check to see what password is being used to access Outlook? My system remembers the password so I don't need it to log in. I wonder if my Microsoft account password gets applied to Outlook mail. Any comments/clarification would be greatly appreciated. RobertOutlook.live.com regular errors
Since a couple of weeks I get error when accessing Outlook.live.com. I'm logged in but the site reports either (1) that a request cannot be completed or (2) a new page comes up saying to refresh the application. After some time the sites works again. There is no network problem since others sites work and I get a response from MS. I removed cache and restarted system OSX and also tried other browser then Safari. But also there the same problem. Any suggestions are welcome.Can't send emails from shared mailbox
In the last few days, we can no longer send emails from a shared inbox from the desktop Outlook Classic app on PC. Given that the shared inbox is the primary email for our business, this is a big deal. A few points: This has worked for years, and we have not made any changes to permissions or other account settings. This is happening on two PCs running Outlook Classic. The problem started suddenly on both PCs. I have already created a new profile but the issue remains. This does not appear to be a corrupt profile or similar issue. We can send email from the shared mailbox using the Outlook web app. We can send email from the shared mailbox using Outlook on an iPad. I spent almost two hours with Microsoft support last night without resolution. Has anyone else run into this? This is frustrating.Newest Outlook version doesn't open pdf in Acrobat
My Outlook was updated to the newest version a few days ago and I'm having issues with opening PDF attachments in my default PDF viewer. Before, you could click the attachment in the email and get a preview but if you were to fully open the attachment it would open in my default application. When I click on it I get this viewer instead of it going directly to Adobe PDF. If I have to download it, I would prefer to save it as a location that I choose. I can go to Acrobat and open the downloaded files, but that is extra steps. Any suggestions?
