Run rule now is grayed out
My rules in Outlook are grayed out again. The part of manual execution. And this status has been remained for at least 3 days. I encountered this circumstance before like few months ago and here we go again. My account is personal account (Outlook.com). When I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac, Version 16.101 (25091314), to see my rules and wanna execute one of the rules, it's greyed out, a.k.a, cannot be executed. When I open a browser, say Edge, (Version 140.0.3485.66 (Official build) (arm64)), the same status as well. My findings so far: All of rules that will categorize email cannot be executed manually now. Rules that will delete emails can be executed manually. It's manual execution that won't work. Coming emails will still be categorized by the rules automatically. Any clue how to solve this? Or somewhere is wrong internally in the system so far?
Outlook group email not sending
I want to use Outlook to send group emails. I can establish the groups and type the email, but I get an error message when I try to send that says it cannot send now, try again later ... which does not send either. I link to gmail. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.
Removing duplicate emails -- What is a dupe?
I ran the "cleanup" folder tool and found purported dupes removed from the target folder and moved to "Deleted" but they were not what I would call dupes. Rather, the tool removed emails that were also embedded in another email chain -- not what I would call a dupe at all. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a tool that will remove dupes that are really two copies of the same email? Ken C
How to view a single message plain text
What is the simplest way to view the plain text of a single message without changing outlook settings? Email messages can contain both html and plain text simultaneously but only one type can be viewed at a time and their content can contain completely different and contradictory messages according to what the sender inserted for each. I want to continue to view all messages as html by default but sometimes I'd like to see the plain text message. Ideally, I'd hope to find a button to "switch to plain text view" or "switch to html view". The shortest way I've found to accomplish something similar is to either forward or reply to the message and "Format Text > Plain Text" to show the alternate content as a workaround. Is there a more convenient way?
