The Outlook eternal issues
I think I'm not alone... I still wondering how a software company like Microsoft can deliver such a bad quality software like Outlook 365 (and Teams). It's mainly a mail client but it's by far the worst software in this group. There are issues that are still in place from the very first versions: mail drafts: a nightmare...very often I write new mails and, for mysterious reasons, when it comes the time to send, I get messages like "message can't be saved because opened in another window (??? which one ???) or "can't save the message because it has been modified" (!!??). Almost all the time I need to copy and paste text, recipients, attachments into a new email (and pray). Sometimes I also loose the message. outbox: is like a Russian roulette...sometimes I find that messages stuck in the outbox folder without been sent. Reason? Who knows... After that, is impossible to resend the message, you can press the send button any number of times but in the end, you need again to copy to a new one and send contacts: a masterpiece. With any other software, it's enough to type few letters of any part of the mail address and you get the list of matching recipients names. Even the gmail browser version does much much better. Using outlook you need to type EXACTLY the first letters of the mail addresses, otherwise you don't get any hint. Having contacts saved in the Address book doesn't help in any way. So, I need to remember exactly the mail addresses and deal with the different naming policy, like email address removed for privacy reasons, email address removed for privacy reasons, email address removed for privacy reasons etc. In my case, I have near thousand of contacts...not easy to remember all of them... So, please Microsoft developers, instead of issuing bunches of useless new features, fix these very very basic features for an e-mail client. We don't need AI, we only need to send and receive e-mails! Outlook is a software that we pay, it must work! At least in the very basic features. Michele
Outlook for Mac - Version 16.99 (25071321) - No Address Book
Latest version of Outlook for Mac released, and I don't seem to be able to see my address book. What was strange was I couldn't see any type ahead style emails, you know when it pre-populates based on conversations you've had with others in the past. When I click the address book, nothing shows. I reverted to legacy and can see the address book entries in there no issues and the type ahead works? Version is: Microsoft® Outlook for Mac Version 16.99 (25071321) Licence: Microsoft 365 Subscription, Copilot for Microsoft 365 This has only just happened with the latest update. Anyone else seeing the same?Press three times to go one step back in Outlook webmail
So using Outlook webmail, if I open an e-mail in a custom folder Future Problems, two levels down from the account root folder, go to Inbox, view an e-mail, and then press Back button on the mouse, the e-mail closes out of the reading pane and I remain in the Inbox. If I press the Back button again, the URL changes in the address bar to reflect the ID of the e-mail in Inbox that just got closed. It's not supposed to do that, is it? No. It's an annoying bug. Does Microsoft care? Where do I report it? If I press the Back button again, for the third time, then it finally takes me back to my custom folder. I can see its ID in the address bar. If I press the... you see where this is going? This is broken as hell! If I press the Back button one more time, the ID in the address bar changes to reflect that of the e-mail in Future Problems, but it doesn't actually press on and open it. No. It just sits there. Is this what Outlook users have to deal with every day? This would drive me crazy. It's the little things like this that add up to a dysfunctional experience. Crumbling, unresponsive, frustrating... take a pick. The devil is always in the details! I can send more your way if you promise to get it fixed. I have written a detailed report on this, with steps on how to reproduce it and what goes wrong. Can I have your good name and address? Where do I send it?Struggling with Exchange Migration?

How to display contacts as "List" in the new Outlook?
Hello, In the classic version of Outlook, I used to display my contacts as "List" (clicking on "View" in the toolbar and then "Change view" and then "List". It was very convenient for me. Now, in the "New Outlook", when I click on "View" there is only "People settings" with one option: choosing between displaying by first name or last name. I really don't like the way contacts are displayed by default in the new Outlook and I really need to find a way to display them as a list like in the classic version. Thank you in advance for your help.
Creating PST files and moving emails to PST files in Outlook 365
Good Morning! I'm glad that we are finally able to import PST files, but there are still some issues with using the PST files. 1. Inability to move email from Inbox via right click-Move-(select folder). The PST file folders do not appear in the right click menu. The only way to move these emails is to drag and drop, and then an error is received: "The folder you have chosen is in another account", when the PST file in question was created in "old" Outlook and is the same exact account. 2. We are unable to CREATE new PST files in Outlook 365 For organizations that have size limits implemented on the inbox, PST files are used to move emails off the server for local storage. This is a CRUCIAL feature. Any idea when right click moving will be available and when we will be able to create PST files? Thank you!
New change view dropdown?
Recently, I believe since Win11 was updated to 24H2, moved emails from the inbox to folders were not appearing in the folders (Outlook 2019). Created new folder, moved "Test" email to a TEST folder. TEST folder showed 1 new message but the folder was empty. So the Test email is there, but not shown. Opened Change View, "Hide Message" selected (not intentionally by me) in the dropdown. Selected "IMAP Message" and of course the Test message appeared in the TEST folder. Below is a pre-24H2 folder Change View dropdown. Can anyone explain what may be going on here, why the Change View dropdowns have changed?Messages hidden when using Conversation view and Date sorting
I'm using New Outlook and I discovered that I'm not seeing both read and unread messages. I'm using conversation view, sort by is using 'Date', and sort order by is using 'newest on top'. Here is how my inbox appears (with messages blurred out for privacy). If I disable conversation view, then I immediately see a lot of unread messages that came in last week. Re-enabling conversation view then hides the unread messages again. However, if I filter the inbox to only show unread messages, Outlook says there aren't any unread messages. I also found that I can see the unread messages if I change the sort by to 'oldest at top'. What's also concerning about this is that I found there are some read messages that are also not appearing when using conversation view set to date and newest on top.
