"New" Outlook is not great
I was forced to switch to the new version of Outlook. I have to have it for my job so I have no choice. So many things wrong when compared to the classic version. You would think that MS would migrate all the settings, views, etc. to the new version. But they didn't. -Event/reminder snooze options - now limited to two hours? Now I get reminders every two hours for something I need to snooze for days or weeks like I was able to before. -Contact views - can't view my contacts in the classic table format where I can filter/sort by company name or last name, etc. -Spell check now cleared by left mouse click instead of the usual right click like all other apps have. -No longer can select multiple email attachments like the classic version -Email folders cannot be sorted anymore Again...love Outlook but this new version is not a winner. MS...please bring back all the classic options!Problem with reminders
When I add an activity in new outlook setting due date and reminder date, new outlook save it only with due date while remider is not set. If I check in outlook everything seems to be fine but when I check on https://to-do.office.com/tasks the reminder doesn't exist and I loose my activityQuick Templates for Replies in Outlook
It would be incredibly useful to have a feature in Outlook that allows users to easily insert saved replies or text snippets with a simple keyboard shortcut or dropdown menu. Key Ideas: Create and manage a list of reusable response templates Assign keyboard shortcuts or shortcut phrases to insert them quickly Support for both new emails and replies/forwards Great for customer service, internal approvals, or common responsesBetter Calendar Overlay Views in Outlook
Managing multiple shared calendars in Outlook is currently frustrating. The calendar overlay view is clunky and doesn't offer the flexibility needed to easily compare schedules. Suggested Improvements: Show side-by-side views for multiple calendars in a cleaner layout Allow color coding or highlighting conflicts Support for drag-and-drop scheduling across calendars Toggle visibility with ease instead of navigating menus
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.
Problem saving emails in New Outlook
Our company's CRM doesn't allow dragging emails directly from Outlook into case notes, so I have to save every email to my computer and then drag it into the case note. Problem: New Outlook seems to save everything as an eml file which the CRM doesn't recognise as a thing. I can't figure out how to save an email except by choosing print, pdf, and half a dozen clicks to get it onto my computer where I can then drag it. This loses access to any attachments that were with the original email so is not satisfactory. Any ideas? What am I missing (besides old Outlook which worked so much better)...
New problem adding mailboxes with personalized domain to Outlook with Microsoft 365 Family ?
Hi all Having a big problem with this recently and need your help to understand if Microsoft has made a general change with Office 365 Family accounts with personalized domains, or if it is just my individual problem. I've been running Outlook on my PC with a Office 365 Family account and personalized / custom domain @NotMyRealDomain.EMAIL using namesilo.com for DNS for 1.5 years. Everything worked fine, although in my online (outlook.live.com) web-based mailbox under Settings->Premium-->Personalized Email Address, it has always said "We couldn't connect the domain NotMyRealDomain.EMAIL to Outlook. Cancel setup and try again." But as I said everything worked so I didn't mess with this. (Now if I press "cancel setup" it warns me that this will disconnect my personalized domain and I wont be able to restore it due to MS discontinuing support for personalized domains in the Office Family plan. So I'm definitely not pressing that button.) The problem is that my Outlook profile is corrupted (I think) and to debug the problem I need to create a new profile. But I cant. When I try to create a new profile, it fails to add my mailbox using Autodiscover. I enter my email address RON@NotMyRealDomain.EMAIL and my password, it tries to setup outlook and eventually fails. Manual setup also fails. In some cases it complains the username RON@NotMyRealDomain.EMAIL is incorrect, in other cases it says it cannot contact the server. At the same time, I have no problems using this email address using the web-client. This worked 3-4 months ago, and nothing changed except I updated my version of Office. So I suspect that Microsoft changed something with how Outlook recognizes and/or configures mailboxes. Can somebody who runs outlooks with a Family 365 account with a personalized domain (ideally not on godaddy) please try to create a new additional profile to see if you have the same issue? If it works OK for you and if you are not running the latest version of Outlook (Outlook for Microsoft 365 Version 2404 Build 16.0.17531.20128 MSO 64-bit, the latest Current Channel version) can you try updating your Office to see if that causes the problem? If indeed MS changed something it could be bad news... thanks for your help!
Outlook and NordVPN
Just in case you are receiving 0X800CCC0E errors and you have NordVPN.. That is likely the source of the problem. I've set up split tunneling, added Outlook as an excluded application, modified port settings and still have issues that required me to turn off NordVPN. At least I now know the root cause... Just an FYIMissing 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.
