Mac Outlook Data Migration
New Outlook for Mac not showing all locally stored data of migration from previous Mac Moved ~52GB Main Profile folder from previous Mac /Users/xxxx/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles to same folder on new Mac. On My Computer section of new Outlook recognizes folder hierarchy and “some” contents but not all. Search functionality does not yield complete results. (This is also happens on previous Mac). However, search results on previous Mac show more data. Triggered Spotlight re-indexing for Mail and Messages and still not yielding desired results (all mail visible via browsing and search)

Calendar shared, person able to edit not just view despite settings
I added an event to my calendar from a different email account and added my primary account as a person/invite. My primary account is shared with someone but as view only permissions. They were able to accept the invite sent to MY primary account? Why do they have access to this when they are set as view only?
I have removed my hotmail account accidentally, how can i restore this?
I accidentally (Saturday 5/4/2024) deleted my hotmail account and am desperately looking for a way to get it back, preferably with content. It went as follows: In account settings, > your details > Manage your email address or phone number for login > I initially added my business email address under account aliases Next, I set my business address as the primary alias. Then I deleted my email, not knowing that it would mean deleting my account completely. I can't log in to my hotmail account anymore. Please can you help me to restore my email account
Outlook 2021 Spell check not working
Good evening Team I have recently bought Microsoft Office 2021. I am experiencing an issue with outlook where spell check is not working when composing new emails (when I compose a reply to an email the spell check works but only sometimes) Also it works only if I copy text from say word for example and paste it into a new email in outlook. spell check is always working in word it's just outlook. So if I type a heap of jumbled characters the spell checker doesn't underline in red (like MS word is doing) I have been though all the troubleshooting with a Microsoft support agent who has checked my settings via remote assistance and he also couldn't get it to work. He checked and said that he is having the same issue with Outlook 2021 on his work machine. He suggested I uninstall office restart my device and then install it again. He told me to post onto this community and engineers will see this. He said I need to wait till this gets patched via update. I have a support request number #1031370106 Hoping it wont take too long before this gets patched as atm I have to copy my email and paste it into word before sending to check for spelling mistakes!MS Outlook connection to gmail via IMAP
It should be possible to connect to gmail via IMAP. However MS Outlook doesn't let you do this. Instead it makes you login via a web browser and give full permission to your gmail, including the ability to delete all email forever. Even the MS support crew says that there is no way around this and we must contact gmail for security options. But going to gmail (Google) and posing a similar question yields the answer: ( THIS PART FROM GOOGLE) No, you don't need to give permissions to delete all your email to use IMAP in Gmail. IMAP access is always turned on for personal Google accounts. Explanation - IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, allows you to download messages from Gmail to your computer. - You can use IMAP to view and edit your email in Microsoft Outlook, even when you're not connected to the internet. - When you delete an email in one place using IMAP, it's deleted in all places. - To delete emails from the server through IMAP, you can manually move them to the Gmail Trash folder. (END GOOGLE PART) Which seems to be correct. So the question is why does MS Outlook require this rather extreme form of permission - and furthermore - why do they not allow a simple IMAP connection to gmail. I know it used to be there.

Hello Microsoft Community!! In our company I had hard time to segregate external emails from internal ones that came to my organization inbox folder. I have created two folders to as below to segregate Internal and External emails to better organization and easier filtering of my messages I was planning to automate the process of email segregation by creating Outlook rule to move emails that being received from from external domains to specific folder, but it's somehow challenging. First solution I tried to create an Outlook rule that will make an Exception to the (Global Address List) of our organization, which means any emails received and are not belongs to the organization (Global Address List) it will be moved to the specified folder according to the rule. Unfortunately, it didn't work all the time and my email got messed up. --------- After further research I reached the best way to target external emails to filter the message header of the received email, to be specific the header attribute (X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs) I noticed this attribute can have one of two values according to Message Header Analyzer as below: Now if you create Outlook Rule through Outlook for Desktop in this example you can choose the condition ( With Specified Words in message header) then enter either of the specified values below: Targeting External Emails put the following value: X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Anonymous Targeting Internal Emails put the following value: X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Internal In my case I targeted the external emails to be moved to the folder I created (Inbox-External) It should look like below, you can also add more rule in my case below I flagged the message: This method is also applicable if you are dealing with Outlook OWA rules as below: At the end am happy to share this experience with the community and happy to engage for discussion if there are better way to do it :)
