'New Outlook' timezone in 'New Meeting' not checkbox/persistent
I work across timezones frequently, and ensuring the correct timezone is of upmost importance. In the 'Old Outlook' appointment page, the 'timezone' option is a checkbox/persistent, so it's ALWAYS showing the timezone option when setting an meeting/appointment: But in the 'New Outlook', the timezone is a button, and I have to click it every time. Please provide an option to have 'always show timezones' set for calendar appointments!
Default Meeting Template for all users in the organisation.
Hi guys, I have been trying to set default outlook meeting templates for all users in the organisation. I have a made sample meetings template and pasted it in a shared location where every user have access when connected to VPN. I have then created a GPO to move the template file to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates so that it works even if disconnected from the VPN. What I am struggling is to set the template as default. I have been trying the method below but seems like its not working. Create a GPO for Outlook Settings: In the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), create a new GPO or use an existing one that applies to the target users. Configure Group Policy Preferences for Outlook Settings: In the GPO, navigate to "User Configuration" > "Preferences" > "Windows Settings" > "Registry." Add a New Registry Item: Right-click in the right pane and select "New" > "Registry Item." Configure the Registry Entry to Set the Default Meeting Template: In the "New Registry Properties" window: Action: Select "Update" to create or modify the registry entry. Hive: Select "HKEY_CURRENT_USER." Key Path: Enter the registry path for Outlook's options. It's typically Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Outlook\Options, where <version> represents the installed Outlook version (e.g., 16.0 for Outlook 2016). Value Name: Set it to CalendarDefaultMeetingTemplateName. Value Type: Select "REG_EXPAND_SZ" (important for environment variable expansion). Value Data: Enter the path to your custom meeting template file in the user's local profile using environment variables, like %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\MyMeetingTemplate.oft. Apply the GPO: Link the GPO to the appropriate Organizational Unit (OU) or domain level where your target users are located. Allow some time for the GPO to propagate to all users. Can someone advise what the issue could be?
Missing DragnDrop of attachments from new Outlook to browsers (SharePoint) – Please bring it back!
The new Outlook no longer supports direct drag & drop of email attachments into browser-based apps like SharePoint or OneDrive. In the classic Outlook, this worked seamlessly, but now we have to go through the desktop as a workaround – an unnecessary extra step that significantly slows down our workflow. Please restore this essential feature! Many businesses and power users rely on drag & drop for efficient work, and this limitation is a major downgrade.
Shared mailbox cannot be pinned to Favorite
When I want to rightclick on the inbox under Shared with me in New Outlook the pane doesn't show up - so I cannot pin it to Favorites. There is simply nothing, just a very short shadow of the pane. I tried to delete and reinstall the new Outlook app but to no avail. Does anyone have the solution her, I would highly appreciate your help. Kind regards, Astrid
5GB email storage instead of 15GB?
Under the free plan, my email storage should be 15GB, according to the list of plans found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/outlook/outlook-personal-email-plans?ocid=cmmasasml2s . But I'm getting a message on outlook, which says "you're running low on storage"...it says that I've used up 4.2GB of my 5GB storage. When I go to "manage storage," it shows that all of my storage used is in email attachments and zero is onedrive. If you look at the bottom of the screenshot, you see that it says right there that I have 15GB of email storage under this plan. What gives? What happened to 15GB? How to I rectify this?
Email Storage Not Updating
I deleted some items so that my Microsoft storage would be under 5GB (it's at 3.8 GB according to OneDrive), but I still can't receive emails because Outlook thinks I'm still at 5.6 GB/5 GB even though I'm actually at 3.8 (the bar doesn't reach the end). It's been three days since I deleted the files. What should I do?Logging into outlook.com
Hi Is anyone else stuck in a redirect loop on outlook.com? I go to outlook.com, enter my email address and password. The blue envelope pops up, sits there for a few seconds, and then redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/outlook/email-and-calendar-software-microsoft-outlook I then click on one of the login links/buttons and do the same and it ends up back in the same place. Sometimes I will get a 403 (which is weird!), and then some other times it will log into my email, so the credentials are ok, and the account is not locked. This has only started to happen in the last couple of weeks. I have tried clearing all website data, loading incognito and the same thing happens in both cases. Anyone else experiencing this? Tony
