Sender Name Not Displayed in Outlook Emails
I'm using the Outlook (New) downloaded from the Microsoft Store, connected via IMAP/SMTP. When I send emails, my name isn't visible to recipients—only my email address shows. I've tried adjusting the settings but haven't found a solution. Could you please assist with this?
Flag outgoing emails not working properly on Outlook for Mac
I am using the new version of outlook for Mac, and anytime I flag an outgoing message it is then flagged for both myself and the recipient (made a test with the recipient being on outlook for windows), and clearly I do not want it to be flagged for the recipient too. How to sort out? I do not have in the drop-down menu where I flag the option to only flag for me, neither it is in the menus
Conversation mode is missing
Recently, a number of users have no longer been able to set their Outlook Classic version 2511 (build 19426.20260) to conversation mode. We have already performed a repair on Office and a reset view. In the web and the new Outlook app, the conversations are still visible
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.
Large, ANNOYING FONTS when composing a New Message
I’ve been using the same Outlook email program for decades. I think a new version came out 2 -3 years ago, but I didn’t like it, so I stayed with the one I’ve been using for years. I think it’s called Outlook Classic. About two weeks ago, a new and bizarre problem popped up. I’m not sure, but I’m guessing it’s related to A.I. What is the problem? When I compose a new email message, instead of seeing my usual font, the font is about 3 or 4X larger than my normal font. It is literally gigantic. Why is that showing up instead of my normal, default font? However, after I hit the SEND button, it goes the message is delivered using my default font. I’ve tried everything I could think of to get rid of this annoying, frustrating problem. I’m sure I’m not the only person with this problem. Is there a simple solution which will bring back my normal font when composing email messages? Thanks!
Cannot add Yahoo email account to Outlook
My Classic Outlook for Microsoft 365 stopped connecting to my Cox.net mail account (run through Yahoo.com) about two months ago. The account disappeared from the account list and will not reconnect as a new account. I and Yahoo tech support tried all the standard fixes including double checking the server settings, using the app password, and turning off Windows firewall. Yahoo tech support said it was "an Outlook problem." Any advice would be appreciated.
Major journal's email does not pass Microsofts arbitrary standards nothing I can do about this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5755307/emails-not-being-recieved-from-sender-******@hotcr And to everyone thats defending this please tell me one advantage this has over putting it in the spam folder with warnings and blocking links etc. Tell me how this isn't the technological equivalent of not letting you buy laundry detergent because its poisonous if consumed. Look at all the people that were hospitalized from eating laundry detergent, clearly laundry detergent needs to be baned.
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?Older Emails not showing in group mailbox
Hello, I am having issue retrieving older emails in all versions of Outlook desktop application, while i find the older emails in the web version. The issue is mainly in the shared commun group mailbox, not the personal one ( it shows no messages in the folder as shown below). I tried to delete and add the OTS file and still the same thing. What is the issue and how to solve it please?
Microsoft Outlook Verification notification issue
Hello, Over the past 3 days, I have had recurring notifications seemingly from Microsoft (pushed notification on my Android phone) asking for permission to sign in to my Outlook account. My Outlook accounts are signed in on my phone and my desktop. I changed my password yesterday due to concerns over security and added 2FA. Over the last 3 days I would say I have gotten 10-11 notifications about this. Most come from Canada, but I have had the Netherlands, an unknown location, and I believe the USA in that timeframe. I run a VPN on both my phone and desktop. I've had it happen on both wifi network and the mobile network. I also checked the recent activity log on my Microsoft account, and it only recorded my sign-ins. So my question becomes. Is someone trying to get into my email? Is it a glitch with my VPN or a Microsoft bug? I'm running a OnePlus 10. Any ideas would be great. It's mostly just annoying moreso than anything. Thanks!Having issues with a Outlook custom-domain (exchange) binding with Microsoft mobile TO DO.
Every other type of account that i have works successfully. It is just with a particular email. It worked before but it does not recognize it anymore. I logged out of both apps and logged back in. I did create a separate outlook profile and it still did not work. Any thoughts?Creating meeting by highlighting timespan
Using the online Outlook version. What happened to this? You used to be able to highlight a span of time on a day and you'd get the "popup" for the event details. Now, there's no popup - you just start typing the title, which means you still have to open the event to add the details. This isn't efficient. Is there some setting to revert this behavior back?
Microsoft suspended my Outlook.com acccount for spam..a question.
I just started at being officer for a non-profit. I sent out email to our members that number about 300 people with a Forms survey asking about future meeting ideas. When I sent the email, it came back as being unable to deliver to all email addresses in the email (most of which were in the BCC column). I tried sending the email again and ended up with getting my account suspended. I finally was able to get a code to my phone and got my account active again. My question is would it be safe to send out emails to all our members in the future. From what I read, Microsoft Outlook allows up to 500 people. Our organization has much less that that. If I used this account again, would I risk it being suspended or permanently disabled again? I only link I had was for a Microsoft Forms survey.Flagged Emails in New Outlook: Set Reminders and Due Date
I understand that transitioning from Classic Outlook to New Outlook can be intimidating and frustrating, especially regarding the feature changes. I'm here to help you navigate through the differences and make the switch as smooth as possible. You can access your flagged emails via the MyDay icon located in the top menu. Here are the steps to set reminders, due dates, and more. 1) Select the My Day icon 2) Click on the To-Do Tab (Note: Usually, this tab defaults to 'Tasks' for the primary mail account.) 3) If you manage multiple accounts, choose the correct mail account. 4) Select Flagged Emails: All flagged items for the select account will appear here 5) Right-click on any flagged item, and you will see many settings, including Set Reminder and Set Due date. I understand that completing the requirement involves many steps. It can be challenging, but I expect more improvements in the future. I hope this helps. /Teresa #traccreations4e 01/18/2024Outlook for Mac issue with contacts when saved
very strange issue with outlook for mac, if I add to contacts, the FILES, Messages and Linkedin tabs disappear. I contact microsoft support and they said this is a outlook for mac limitation but will look into it with internal team. Can anyone confirm they have the same issue ?Classic Outlook Keeps "Not Responding" and freezing
Hi there, I tried to scour for something similar, but I couldn't find anything and/or it didn't work - so here I am - hopefully someone can help. Okay the facts - I use Classic Outlook (CO moving forward) and I run 5 email address in it - 3 are a domain for my company that I run and 2 are POP emails brought in from AOL. I run Windows 11. This is happening to 3 or my 5 work stations, all three are the ones on Windows 11. This started slow a few weeks ago, thought it was just low memory so went through and cleaned up old emails. I am not seeing these issues when using the 2 pop emails - just my company domain ones. Can open CO, taking some extended time but it is getting there. As soon as I try to send an email, reply to an email, change a signature within a new email - it either takes 5-10 minutes to load if we do not click again and just let it sit and think. The second I try and click something or try and scroll while waiting - it goes into 'Not Responding'. Some times it will load after 1 minute and sometimes it just get stuck. I have updated my CO, I tried the advanced 'online repair' through my system, I have tried disabling all my add-ons, I tried deleting my email account from CO and re-loading/logging in, I have checked my graphics card (something on google said to check it for updates), I have ran command prompts to check for internal Windows errors and I have come up short on everything.
