Recognition Tool for Outlook?
Hi community, Our HR team noticed that we could really benefit from integrating recognition and praise into Outlook, since it does serve as this sort of secondary communication channel for us, the first being Teams. Is Microsoft's Praise a good option? Can we connect it to Outlook? Or does anyone use a third-party app that fits in smoothly?
Failed to send emails to outlook/hotmail recipients, returns error 550 5.7.515
We are supporting vendor of a public service, the system sends email notifications to patrons every day. The volume is around 20000-25000 emails per day. Recently, our mail server got large amount of bounced back emails (around 25%) that were not able to deliver to patrons with hotmail/outlook/live/msn email account. From the returned "Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.7.515", understand that it's because of the requirement of SPF (Pass), DKIM (Fail) and DMARC (Pass) authentication. However, currently our email infrastructure can't support the change of DKIM configuration. Can we request Microsoft to add our domain in whitelist and allow us to send emails to notify our patrons? Any way to contact hotmail/outlook/live/msn postmaster? Please advise, thanks.Emails to self considered JUNK, no way to fix unless... (partial solution enclosed)
Any email that I send to myself, from one of my outlook emails, gets classified as JUNK and put in the junk folder with the other 600 junk mails a day. I try to mark it as not junk in the app or in edge and it will NOT allow me to do that. It will not allow me to make a rule or fix it. What does work: Go into your android phone and use the outlook ap. Simply mark it as "Not Junk" and it will take. Android gets the job done. Microsoft will not. WHY would Microsoft classify email from my address as junk and not allow it to be fixed?Nuevo formato mensaje para borrar los elementos eliminados.
Nuevo formato mensaje para borrar los elementos eliminados en Outlook Office16. Hasta hace pocos días cuando aparecia este mensaje el puntero del ratón se quedaban apuntando a autorizar el borrado (SI). Ahora con el nuevo formato el punreto no lo hace y tengo que desplazarlo para ponerlo encima del "SI". No se si se puede solucionar eso. Saludos.
Bizarre Yahoo Mail Connection Problem
I have Outlook 365 installed on two Windows 11 Pro PCs. Latest updates. On one PC, I can use Outlook 365 as a mail client for my Yahoo mail account using the "old" interface, No issues. On the other PC, Outlook 365 also used to work as a Yahoo Mail client but started having connection issues. I've tried everything under the run to reconnect Outlook 365 to Yahoo Mail - no dice. This includes completely uninstalling and trying to reinstall Outlook 365. Here is where it gets bizarre. If I switch to the "new interface" the Yahoo Mail account shows up and connects. Switch back to the old interface, Yahoo Mail disappears. I hate the new interface and need Outlook 365 to work on this second PC the same way it works on the first one. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am using Outlook with a professional email address connected to my website/domain, and I want to better understand how profile information works for this type of account. I am specifically trying to know: Where Outlook pulls profile details from for a custom domain email Whether profile information is managed in Outlook, Microsoft account settings, or Microsoft 365 admin settings Which profile details are visible to recipients when sending emails Whether there is a way to personalize the account profile for a more professional appearance I am looking for guidance especially for accounts using a domain-based business/professional email rather than a regular personal Outlook address. Thanks in advance.Outlook for Mac, 365, Contact List

Search on Outlook Mac doesn't work - Ventura 13.1
Dear Community, I was migrating from an old MacBook Pro M1 to a new Macbook Pro 14 m1 pro. My outlook search stopped working. I've tried everything from checking spotlight privacy settings to manually reindexing the profiles through the Mac terminal but still the search doesn't work. I've even tried to reinstall the application fully, and for a moment I noticed that the search started to work when outlook was downloading the data from the exchange server, but still no. My Mac has all the latest updates installed. I would really appreciate any help or advice! Bestis there any way to create interactive check box in outlook email body

Performance Reviews & Surveys over Outlook?
Hi Community A bit of an odd question this one. Our HR team started realizing we rely on Outlook a lot for communication sometimes even more than Teams (Oddly enough). We are planning to send our regular anonymous employee engagement surveys and maybe our annual reviews through Outlook. Does anyone have any experience with surveys and review forms inside Outlook? Do you embed Microsoft Forms?New Outlook Desktop client | Exchange SE | Supportability
After Winter, the New Outlook Desktop client is coming ;-) This new Outlook 365 client will kindly but surely be pushed by Microsoft for customers with a 365 license to install the Office 365 suite. In some configuration, users have the Office 365 suite but use the current Outlook client (Version 2510 Click to run ) to connect to Exchange SE servers because, for regulatory reasons, mailboxes must be based on the national territory. I am therefore wondering about the Microsoft support policy for customers using both the office click to run suite with 0365 features and eventually the famous and new Outlook client connected to the Exchange Subscriber Edition environment Will this situation be technically supported by Microsoft or will it be necessary for these clients specifically to use another Outlook Desktop client than the one provided in the ClickToRun suite?

Outlook for Mac missing ToDo
Since a recent update, our Mac clients don't have any way to view ToDo or Tasks in the New Outlook. The tasks don't show in the My Day/Task pane, nor do we have a ToDo Icon ion the left sidebar like users of New Outlook on Windows do. Accessing OWA is now the only way for users to see tasks/flagged emails, but very much not the preferred solution since there IS a desktop client which should do that. Microsoft® Outlook for Mac Version 16.105 (26011018) This is a serious usability issue, is this really a design decision or some sort of an issue?
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.Outlook contact groups
Hi, We use a specific m365 account for email blasts...and have 10 contact groups withing that account (and not a distro from m365), each contact group has a limit of 1000 contacts (limitation from microsoft), so we have 10 such groups as we send out to about 9000 people total (and microsoft has a limit of sending 10,000 emails per day per account). Issue is a lot of times we get undeliverables because people in the groups either no longer work there or whatever...so its tough to clean up. Is there a better way to do this? 1. For the contact groups itself? I thought a out creating a distro in m365 but then I have to add the 900p contacts into our tenant which would be annoying 2. Sending the blasts (without a crm or something like constant contact) 3.managing the lists from undeliverables undeliverables undeliverable Thanks all.
Promotion Folder in Outlook - how to stop emails from going into this folder
Does anyone have idea how a Promotion Folder gets created in outlook and how we can get rid of it from outlook for all users? Creating an inbox rules method seems pretty annoying as users need to list individual senders every time they get the emails from different senders in promotion folder.Outlook for MacOS will not filter unread messages
