Send to OneNote add-in missing everywhere in every platform
The Send to OneNote add-in missing from my outlook.com account. I'm using the web version of Outlook.com, the desktop Outlook client, and the mobile app, and the add-in missing everywhere, but I used it in the past. I have a personal account. I checked the Outlook add-ins settings but there is no option for that. What can I do?
Anyone else hate the New Desktop Outlook?.
Hello people I was wondering if anyone else Hated the Desktop version of Outlook?. To me its slower and unresponsive compared to previous versions. Even Windows Mail was faster and the brings up old email accounts that you deleted and no longer use long ago. It seems while good intentions this one has not been tested properly. Just shoved out the door. And lastly trying to find Emails that your sent or received is another nightmare. You have to restart twice before it finally decides oh look there emails.
Shared mailbox messages going to recoverable deleted items
Hi! Trying to solve an issue that's plagued me for a couple weeks. We have a shared mailbox hosted in Exchange Online that receives customer orders. We're discovering that many orders are somehow landing in the recoverable items section of deleted items and we've yet to find a root cause. Things I've tried: 1. Disable, then deleted, all mailbox-level rules on the shared mailbox. 2. Tried to get audit logs from protection.office.com - no results available. 3. Eventually stumbled on this article which lets me export logs to a CSV. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4021960/how-to-use-mailbox-audit-logs-in-office-365 However the logs are somewhat inconclusive. I see some actions like "SoftDelete" from users (which I think would not move the email to recoverable deleted items). I also see "MoveToDeletedItems" and "HardDelete". However there's only a handful of hard deletes - not enough to account for the hundreds of emails showing in recoverable deleted items. 4. Reset all users passwords. 5. Had their supervisor remind them no emails should be deleted, only moved to a folder called "Completed". Multiple users insist they understand this protocol and are following it. 6. Checked several suspect users in the audit log for Outlook issues, rules, ignore, or other reasons that might be causing it. Rebuilt a suspect user's Outlook profile. 7. Ran Get-InboxRule to see if there were any additional rules 8. Ran outlook.exe /cleanconvongoingactions to remove any ignores 9. Remove all mailbox permissions except for system ones (e.g. NT Authority\SELF, NAMPRD02\Exchange Users, etc.). Re-add to try to identify which users are causing deletes. As we've slowly re-added users we saw deletes stop for a while and thought we had identified a specific user, but today confirmed that is not the case - there's no specific user that appears to be the cause. Help? Any ideas?
App Passwords for IMAP
I have a 1998 Hotmail account that I still use. Today it has evolved to just yet another Microsoft account. For many years, I used `getmail` to receive mails from the account, using e-mail and password credentials. Recently microsoft sunsetted this "less secure" login method for IMAP. So following the docs I set up 2FA and created an app password to use for IMAP login instead of the account password. Unfortunately, the new app password based login keeps failing with getmail version 6.18.11 Copyright (C) 1998-2023 Charles Cazabon and others. Licensed under GNU GPL version 2. SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:email address removed for privacy reasons@imap-mail.outlook.com:993: email address removed for privacy reasons: credential/login error (b'LOGIN failed.') The getmail config is actually pretty straight forward: [retriever] type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever server = imap-mail.outlook.com username = email address removed for privacy reasons password = xxxxxxxxxxxx I am aware that older getmail docs talk about an "xoauth" login method, that requires the e-mail account to be a microsoft developer account (whose registration in turn requires this and that and keeps ending with a strange error popup). However, the Microsoft docs clearly say that with 2FA turned on, all you need is an app password to use "other e-mail clients" But why doesn't it work? Any ideas?
Outlook HTML E-Mail - Text disappear after Image Editing
HI, we have a wired problem with Outlook 2021. When we edit an image in an email, the whole text disappear. When we resize the "New Mail Message Window", ex. maximize and return to previous size, the text appear again. I created a video of this problem to better show it.When cancelling a meeting, the option for not notifying participants is gone
The new Outlook (Microsoft 365) is no more offering the option for not notifying participants when cancelling a meeting. Problem description: In the past, when I scheduled a meeting with 1 other person and that person declined, I cancelled the meeting and got asked if I want to notify participants yes or no. I opted for no., since the other person already cancelled the meeting and it got removed from their calendar. A notification about me cancelling it as well was perceived as spam. Now this option is gone and the person who cancelled already will receive another meeting cancellation notification for the meeting that is anyway no more on his/her calendar. Request for help: Does anyone no about the option for not notifying participants when cancelling a meeting?
"NEW" plagued Outlook won't open .msg files
Microsoft Outlook Version: 1.2025.522.100 (Production) Client Version: 20250523006.12 WebView2 Version: 136.0.3240.92 (Stable) Worked last week.

Anyone have a workaround of fix? I'd ask Copilot, but...
Unread items not showing in message list Mac
Is anyone else experiencing an issue where the unread items count on the folder increases, but the newly received email doesn't show up in the message list until you click Sync or Sort by Unread? I have over 50 users experiencing this issue All running macOS 15.4.1 or 15.5 The issue has persisted for several weeks, over both the latest version of Outlook for Mac and the previous version. Possibly also the version prior to that one. The issue occurs multiple times a day This issue is not present in Outlook for Web and I haven't had reports from Windows users that they're experiencing the same issue (but we only have 2 of those) I have experienced this issue not only on the office network, but also when working from home
New Outlook Move Email GPO
The release notes for the latest new Outlook version stated that Microsoft finally added the functionality to move emails between email accounts/folders. It mentioned a GPO for enterprise customers that enable customers to do this since it is disabled by default. I downloaded the latest Microsoft 365 GPO templates (dated 28 May 2025) but I can not find this setting. Can someone please tell me where I can enable this functionality? Once enabled, does it work like classic Outlook where you literally drag an email to a different mailbox folder? Thanks.Outlook stops working - asked for permission to access Google which it already has
Using both Outlook from Office and the version of Outlook standard with Windows 11. On some systems it stopped working where it used to work just fine. What happens when it stops working is that when it starts up a window pops up asking to sign into the Google account. I click on the account and then the window changes to saying something like "MS applications need access to Google account." I click on continue and then the window changes to saying something like "Some MS applications already have access to Google" and I follow some more links and it confirms that MS DOES HAVE access to Google mail. I go back into Outlook, which still does not work, and I can only follow the same circle of windows to try to get access to Google mail and I can never get Outlook to work. Every once in a while it works ok, only to stop working later on. VERY FRUSTRATED!! Any help will be greatly appreciated. GerryMeeting invitations: hide invited contacts from other attendees
When composing a meeting invitation in Outlook on the Web an option is available, that the attendee list will be hidden to the participants. When sending the invitation the attendee addresses are put into to the bcc: field. In Outlook for Windows or Outlook for Mac I wasn't able to find this option. Question: does anyone know if and when this option will be included in the desktop apps? If my question should already be answered in another thread I'm thankful if someone could provide me the link to the thread.
Quick Steps in Shared Mailboxes New Outlook
Hi all, Shared Mailboxes can finally be added as a seperate account and I was hoping that quick steps will work as before in the classic outlook. But that does not seem to be the case, anybody knows if it's even possible anymore in the new outlook or am I missing a toggle option?
Swapping verification email address

Blocked Makros in embedded Excel Document
Hi Community, I found a few threads regarding this Topic, but couldn´t find a satisfying solution for this. The Problem: So in our Company we publish official Power Point documents through our Intranet ( which is marked as a trusted Location via GPO ) and some of these PP-documents have embedded Excel Documents with macros in it. And those macros are getting blocked even when moving the Powerpoint to the user share which is too marked as a Trusted Location. So my question is, where does Office / Powerpoint temporarily store the embedded Excel document so I can mark that Location as trusted? I tried adding "%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft", but that too wasn`t working. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, MarvinCan't print from Outlook Classic when it's in Hebrew
When the client is in English, it prints. When switching back to Hebrew, an error occurs. A problem, was detected with the selected printer. You may need to reinstall the priner. Try again, or use a different printer. A Technician from Microsoft tried troubleshooting (reinstalling etc) and sent me here Thanks!"Team: 'Person Name'" Calendar?
This morning, folks in our organization reported that they now see random new calendars in their list of calendars. The calendars appear to be copies of other employees' calendars. It shows in it's own calendar group titled "Team: 'Person Name'", and for me at least there are two calendars there for other people in my organization. I am seeing a new group in my outlook that says "Team: Person Name" with two calendars in the group, one that belongs to the person in group name, and another for a completely different employee. No one has shared these calendars with each other; they have appeared automatically and now employees have access to other employees personal calendars?! Please see the screen grab below.Can't collapse all groups in new Outlook?
Hi, I just downloaded the new Outlook app to try and I don't see a way to collapse all groups nor could I find anything in the help menu. Is this not possible with the new version? I have a lot of email in my accounts so this is concerning and I'm hoping that I'm just missing something. Since this will likely be a mandatory upgrade I would like to know. Thanks in advance.
