Important email completely disappeared when sending
I am using office 365. I spend a lot of time writing this email. It included one other email as an attachment. When I sent it it simply disappeared. The only sign that it had ever existed is the following failure message: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Re: Mr Elliot Gingold - quote for recliner - Urgent Sent: 28/05/2026 5:18 PM The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: S****** 28/05/2026 5:26 PM ****** on 28/05/2026 5:26 PM E******x on 28/05/2026 5:26 PM This message could not be sent.

Been trying to find a solution to this with no luck as yet. When I receive an attachment such as a PDF file, JPG, etc., clicking the file opens it as a preview in Outlook. Similarly, when I click on the down or menu arrow to see options for opening, preview is the first option. How do I set it so that when I click on the file it opens in the default app for my system? Also, can I remove preview from the options in the dropdown?

I have outlook classic on 3 PCs. Within the last month, I have noticed that it takes an incredibly long time to open attached files. Outlook "hangs" for up to 1 minute, and then the file opens. The same thing happens if I copy a file from one email to another. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this. It is quite annoyingSolved73Views0likes2CommentsConditional Formatting to New Outlook Calendar
Please bring Conditional Formatting to the New Outlook Calendar. This is a feature we have in Classic Outlook and something I use regularly to help maintain my organization.

Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong place in advance, I have had my hotmail.com account probably since circa 1998 and it has everything on there. It seems someone has tried to login so many times that suspicious activity has been detected, I have tried many ways to recover it. I have 2FA Switched on but when I try password recovery to get it to text my mobile it states that service is unavailable :-( It will email to my 1st alternate email account however it then asks to use the second one to which was an old work account that I have no access to :-( Any ideas? do I just wait until it unblocks my phone number?

Hello there, has anybody experienced what the consequences of correcting the time zone configuration of a room mailbox when its already fully booked with appointments (especially re-occuring ones)? The appointments are all booked from Central European Time Zone and the Room Mailbox is in Reykjavik Time Zone. What will happen with the existing serial meetings? Our fear is that after correcting the time zone of the room mailbox to CET, then it will +-2 hours move the appointments.

Hi all, Yesterday and today I have seen several people across at least two separate organizations have their Teams Add-In in Outlook crash and get disabled. Upon initial reviews from our team, we have found the following: Visual C++ runtime The .NET Runtime logs show an unhandled exception in: Microsoft.Teams.MeetingAddin.Scheduler.OneAuthUtils.Startup This occurs while the Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Outlook is initializing. The crash happens right after the Teams add-in loads Curious is anyone else is seeing the same issue and if any fixes have been found.Solved776Views0likes2CommentsCalendar Invitations Not Arriving with Attachment Icons in Inbox
Multiple computers in a household using Windows 11, Outlook 2021 and Google Mail. Up until the last week or so, whenever I receive a calendar invitation generated through either Outlook or Google, it arrived in my Outlook 2021 inbox with an icon showing an attachment. This is helpful in distinguishing emails that are calendar invitations versus just a regular email message. All of a sudden it just stopped doing that. I've run several tests generating calendar invitations from both "idevices" as well as Outlook on multiple computers, it doesn't matter. Calendar invitations are now arriving in my Outlook inbox with no icon. I'd like to get that functionality back. Any ideas?Solved95Views0likes3CommentsProblems using Outlook, Gmail and Google Calendar
For a while now, when I have taken Teams meeting invites to my Microsoft Gmail account via Outlook, when I accept them it deletes the email and I lose the Teams link. I have now diagnosed that my Outlook is set up so that my largely defunct Hotmail account is the "primary" account, and all Outlook calendar events that are created get created on the Hotmail calendar. Apparently because I got the Hotmail from Microsoft. I never use my Hotmail account. How do I get this set up so that these invites will create a Calendar event to my Gmail account's calendar, and hopefully sync them with my Google Calendar on my phone, because that's generally where I take Teams meetings from? I apologize if this is the wrong forum.Solved169Views0likes1CommentGmail sync issues within Outlook Classic
Yesterday, my Gmail folders stopped or failed to sync within Outlook Classic. I went through a number of steps including removing the account, re-adding it but now the sub-folders have disappeared completely. Every time I launch Outlook Classic, there is a Send/Receive Error. I have for now started using the new version of Outlook of which all the Gmail folders are present. However, this new version never allowed (and still does not allow) you to add additional email accounts. It says you don’t have permission to, etc… As a result of errors and issues with both versions of Outlook, I am having to use Outlook Classic for work (M365) email accounts and the new Outlook for my Gmail account. This is absurd . I have seen that this appears to be a recent and known issue with Outlook Classic and looks to being investigated. But why and how did this even happen in the first place? Who at Microsoft has decided to implement a change or update which has impacted a large volume of customers all over the world!?!Solved1.4KViews2likes8CommentsEmails 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?Solved171Views0likes3CommentsOutlook - save as on attachments missing
Hello, the Microsoft documentation suggests that "Attachments are saved in your Documents folder by default. You can't change the default location but can specify a different location each time you save an attachment. Choose the drop-down arrow to the right of the attachment icon to open the attachment menu. Choose Save As to save to your computer or cloud storage location." This drop down option is not there. I am not sure how long this has been the case as I do not use this personally however a colleague obviously finds it very poor to work with attachments saving into a random onedrive folder where she has to move the content where she wants or downloading it and then moving it. I had read that the transition to outlook new removed it and then it had been added back sometime after, looking at posts people had made about the issue. It doesn't seem like this is an option for any file types for anyone in our organisation, any suggestions ? Thank you, Jamie.Solved364Views0likes1Commentsetting up gmail in classic outlook

I've run into an issue this past week where I've tried changing my Verizon email account from IMAP to Pop3. I get errors like this; Task 'email address removed for privacy reasons - Receiving' reported error (0x80042110) : 'Your POP3 server is providing inconsistent information. The number of messages returned by the STAT command does not match the number of items returned by the UIDL or LIST commands. Contact your POP3 or Internet service provider.' I've created a new profile, I've done SCANPST probably more than 5 times, regenerated my third party password on AOL and it consistently fails for the same error. I've run the same version of Outlook on a different machine with th same results. My pop settings are pop.verizon.net, port 995, ssl/tls. The progress window shows that it's downloading messages but it sits there for a couple of minutes and then pops the error up; AOL adimmently says that it's got to do with Outlook because it works fine on there webmail. I can't seem to find an email alternative that creates a pst database so that I could rule one or the other out. Getting extremely frustrated. I would get completely away from the Verizon email but I have had it for so long; it's established everywhere I've done business, contacts, credit cards, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Today i was blocking some spammers from my email and it occured to me that this could be so simple if MS Outlook would allow us to block global email address. For example why can't i block *@*.ru.ac.th Which just sent me a tone of junk, the senders get around this by just changing a small part of the email address but the main part the end is always the same, so why can't i block it? When i try, outlook tells me it is invalid. ThanksSolved121Views0likes4CommentsRecall email sent using the Sharepoint share feature
Accidentally shared a site via Sharepoint to a group. In Outlook on the web, in my Sent folder, the message appears as if I had sent it from Outlook.
