Outlook Search loses focus
Using O365 current version When clicking in the Search Box in the Title bar, cursor often loses focus and does not remain in the search bar and query is lost. Work around/Solution ( after considerable angry words ) is to click in the search box and wait to verify it remains in the box before typing the search. This is far from ideal as it slows the process down, opens things or deletes items that I do not want opened or deleted HELP!
Webmail Calendar - recurring series exception missing data
We use recurring events to book in clients. When an available slot is filled, the client info is put in the box of the event, so it becomes an exception to the series. Makes sense. However, if you look at that exception again after saving the changes, the body portion of the event is completely blank. This happens in webmail ONLY. If I access the calendar via the desktop app, all the client information is visible. Our staff all use webmail and this was working fine up until this week - I can't find what changed!iOS Calendar & Outlook - All Day events "On day of event" alert not working as expected
Using iOS Calendar (iOS 18.4.1) to display Outlook Calendars, if creating an All Day event using iOS Calendar I'm unable to select "On day of event (09:00)" as an alert time, it keeps resetting back to "None". If I create the All Day event in Outlook on the phone, and select remind me "Day of event (09:00)", this works within Outlook, but when viewing the event in iOS Calendar it displays "On day of event (00:00)". If I create the All Day event in Outlook on the web, and again select remind me "Day of event (09:00)", this works and is displayed in both Outlook (phone) and iOS Calendar as correct "On day of event (09:00)". End result is that using iOS Calendar to create All Day events I'm unable to select "On day of event" as an alert, I have to use Outlook on the phone, but this creates the alert (in iOS Calendar) for midnight, or if I do want to be notified at 9AM then I need to use Outlook on the web. Has anybody else experienced the same or is it a quirk of settings somewhere?
Using SHARE in EDGE to send others links
When I attempt to use the SHARE feature in EDGE to send others links I want them to read, I get an empty email pane pop-up that is not populated with a link or anything in the subject line (its blank). I turned off extensions to determine if there was a conflict, but no luck. Can anyone assist with my problem.
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?
Migrated users in a new MS Tenant have old calendar invites from previous tenant users
Good afternoon. We recently moved a group of users to a new Microsoft tenant. Before the migration, some users had sent out meeting invitations while using the old tenant. Now that they’ve transitioned to the new tenant, they were able to remove those meetings from their Outlook client. However, the attendees who received those invitations still see the meetings in their calendars I have tried to use the command "Remove-CalendarEvents" but because the original account was used to create the invites under the old tenant, the command cannot find that email address in the new tenant. Any help would be greatly appreciated.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?
