"Thanks for reporting" Popup Window after Spam/Phishing
We love the new Built-in Report Button, but, after every report, we're getting the same "Thanks for reporting" popup window. It's becoming a bit annoying due to more clicks, and some users might just delete spam/phishing emails instead of reporting which kills the purpose. Has anyone disable this popup? Thanks
New Outlook
Hello. I will be clear and straightforward: As your customer, if I pay for your applications, it is because they offer me certain services, which are the elements that differentiate you from your competitors. This case of the New Outlook is a good example. If I wanted a simple webmail, I would use your competitors. Most of them offer almost the same as this lame Outlook you're going to foist on us, and they're free. That said: I want MY VIEWS I want MY RULES (which have NEVER appeared in your OWA). I want to MANAGE MY OWN PSTs, put them wherever I want and manage them myself. In short, I want the features I decided to pay you for. In the end, I know, I will be forced to use this at work (well, we'll see what I can do to avoid it), but at home, if you force me to switch to this, you can say goodbye to me as a customer. Greetings.Dissappointed: Unable to create bookmark link within new Outlook email message
In the past, I used to be able to include bookmarks within an Outlook email message to point to a different section of the email (ex: click here for French), which would take the user directly to that section. I cannot see this in the New Outlook and can only include a URL in a link. What's worse, it looks like my old bookmark links from past emails I have sent across my company are no longer working in the New version of Outlook. In new Outlook I am unable to edit my hyperlink and there is no optionto include "Place in Document". Furthermore, when I try to check out old bookmark links, I see this "https://outlook.office.com/mail/options/accounts-category/accounts-subcategory?nativeVersion=1.2024.725.400#x_FR", which sounds like the feature is no longer available. This was a really useful feature and removing it completely is a mistake in my opinion. I should not have to create HTML/CSS code for simple email messages. It's a waste of time. Is there a work-around? [Side note: I have been using Microsoft tools for the entirety of my professional career in Communications. It is WILDLY disappointing that since I've had to switch to this new version, I am spending an hour a day trying to find answers, workarounds and fixes to seemingly simple things that are either 1) Not intuitively available 2) Have been removed completely 3) Simply no longer work the same way. Please allow to revert back to Old version while you work out the bugs!]
Forward/be notified of emails sent to nonexistent address on same domain? Not admin. School account.
My student email address (Outlook) contains a misspelling of my name (one missing letter). So it's very easy for people to send their emails to an address that doesn't exist, thinking they're sending it to me. What would be great if I could somehow have those emails forwarded to the correct address, or at least be notified when people try to send an email to the nonexistent address. I've tested things a bit. When I try sending an email to the "wrong" (correct spelling of my name, but nonexistent) address, I usually get an email from Microsoft indicating the mistake. But not always. And even when I do, it sometimes takes a few minutes, or it goes to some easily overlooked folder besides the main inbox. I worry that busy people might send an email to the wrong address and move on, never noticing the following error email. I know one obvious solution is to ask my school's IT department to make a new address with the correct spelling, and have all emails sent to the previous incorrectly-spelled address forwarded to the new one. But 1. I don't know if I'll be allowed to keep two addresses, and 2. I don't trust Outlook to successfully forward everything to the new address. I'd rather use a "catch-all" solution, where emails sent to the correctly spelled (but nonexistent) address are automatically forwarded to the existing (but incorrectly spelled) address. Or maybe I can somehow get a notification that someone has tried to send an email to the nonexistent address? Are either of these (or something else I haven't thought of) possible? Before taking this to my school's IT department, I want to see if there's anything I can do myself. Like I said, it's a student email address, so my options are probably limited. But I'm wondering if I have access to any settings (I mainly use the web version of Outlook, but I also have the PC app), or if there's any 3rd party solutions I can implement on my own that could accomplish something like what I have in mind. If I do end up having to ask my school's IT department for help, what should I tell them to try?How to remove "friendlier link" formatting in Outlook?
In April, Microsoft introduced "friendlier" links when linking to a file in OneDrive or SharePoint. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/friendlier-link-names-in-email-02040f47-bd56-4806-8311-fc913fed54c0 I can see how this is useful for 1:1 or 1:few emails with these type of links, as it also helps check permissions. We have templates we use for companywide messaging, and this styling does not work with those and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it go away. Anyone figured out a workaround yet? I have tried what is mentioned in the article, but that just makes it show the long ugly SharePoint Online link, not a shortened hyperlink text like "click here" without any styling. The worst part is the grey highlight on these links.
When I right click and "Move" an email in my inbox to a chosen folder, I can not find the folders.
Hoping to get some insight here. I have played around with "View", removed any filters, etc. But I cannot figure out where the folders are located when I right click and "Move" an email in my inbox to a listed folder. The folders listed under my inbox on the left window pane do not line up (names are different) with the folders that I select to "Move" the email to. Now, I cannot find where I moved the emails. Where are these folders hidden? Nothing comes up when I search for them with their specific names. When I "Move" an email via the right click function, how can I find these folders?Custom Forms for Creating a Meeting
I want to create a custom form (available to only a small number of users) that allows me to collect more data when a meeting is being booked. The form needs to be able to use drop down lists (single and multi select), checkboxes, radio buttons as well as time and date fields with widgets to enter data - all the usual kind of input fields. I need to set some fields as mandatory and in an ideal world I'd like some mechanism to potentially validate data. This is a corporate set up so whatever I attempt must not impact on others but for one team I want this to be my standard input form. I also can't use anything other than standard Outlook capabilities - it's unlikely corporate will approve add-ins! Can anyone point me to resources that would make this possible?Blocked Makros in embedded Excel Document
Hi Community, I found a few threads regarding this Topic, but couldn´t find a satisfying solution for this. The Problem: So in our Company we publish official Power Point documents through our Intranet ( which is marked as a trusted Location via GPO ) and some of these PP-documents have embedded Excel Documents with macros in it. And those macros are getting blocked even when moving the Powerpoint to the user share which is too marked as a Trusted Location. So my question is, where does Office / Powerpoint temporarily store the embedded Excel document so I can mark that Location as trusted? I tried adding "%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft", but that too wasn`t working. Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Marvin
The Meeting details button in Onenote Web app suddenly disappears.
Hello Microsoft Community, I've been using the Onenote Web app for quite some time now. A pretty handy feature i've always relied on is the "Meeting details" button which allows me to view/insert my calendar/schedule into Onenote. However i recently discovered the "Meeting details" button suddenly disappeared across both my outlook personal accounts(I have 2 personal accounts). I tried a couple of steps like clearing my cache, switching devices and browsers, but nothing worked. I also noticed that even though the button disappeared from both my Outlook personal accounts it was still present in both my MS Work & school accounts (My Work and school use Microsoft accounts). I then reached out to Microsoft Support but they mentioned: "Looks like For Outlook.com, Hotmail, or other personal Microsoft accounts, the "Meeting Details" button is often missing or non-functional in the OneNote web app. This is because Microsoft does not currently support the same level of calendar integration for personal accounts in the web version of OneNote. I also understand that you have been accessing this feature up until recently. So I would suggest you reach out the community to get this checked for you." So at this point i'm kinda out of ideas and would love to get your thoughts/suggestions on how i could potentially fix this cause Microsoft isn't helping much Thanks
