Confilcts in Outlook-taks
Hello, In Outlook (Office365, 64 Bits) we frequently use "tasks". The created tasks are used as a kind of archive: email exchanges, documents, images, URLs, etc. are stored in it. Users always work in Outlook from only 1 device (desktop PC). It happens too often that tasks become corrupt and Outlook gives notifications: "This is the most recent version, but you made changes to another copy" and/or “You made changes to another copy of this item" The other versions of the task can be viewed, but the information here is also incomplete and corrupt. Microsoft reported this issue in article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/conflicts-in-outlook-task-fff8768c-8724-4ef4-bed9-ef7dea15841d In this article Microsoft stated the issueto be fixed: "the Microsoft To Do Team has released a client-side fix to address theses issues" . No further details about the solution are given. Unfortunately, we are still experiencing conflicts in the Outlook tasks. Does anyone else recognize this problem? Does anyone have a possible solution? Thank you, Peter
Reply all to the previous email in the thread function
Often I will have an email forwarded to me, the original email may have had multiple emails in the cc. When I go to reply, I have to copy each email address individually from the trail to the address bar. Is there an Outlook add-in that allows you to highlight the email text and copy only the email addresses? Or "reply all to the previous email in a trail of emails.
Language download issue
Hi Oultlookers, My default language is English and I just downloaded the French language package I got Afrikaans instead Outlook defaulted to Afrikaans - Great !! Managed to get back to selecting English as my default language However, I now have Afrikaans in my left panel of Outlook. So instead of File, I have 'Inmandjie' In the File>Options>Language setting, there is no Remove option when selecting Afrikaans Question: - how can I delete the actual downloaded Afrikaans language file that was added somewhere in my Program folder? Or is there another solution? Thanks Andrew
Outlook hacked
Hi, my Outlook was hacked and received blackmail emails demanding bitcoin. I changed my password, enabled 2FA and use MS Authenticator app. Also did a factory reset. How can I protect myself, as my activity shows hundreds of unsuccessful sign ins daily, as the hacker is trying to breach my password again. Don't receive any alerts warning me though. Hacker claims a trojan virus is on my phone which is invisible to antivirus software. No idea whether this is complete nonsense. Need some advice and guidance. I went to the Police but they were not bothered saying they get dozens of incidents daily.What to do about an out-of-date .ost file?
I'm upgrading the SSD in my laptop, so I cloned the old one onto a bigger one and swapped them. Windows (finally) boots fine, with all my apps intact. When I launch Outlook however, it tells me it's using an old copy of my data (.ost) file, that I should exit Outlook, delete the .ost, and then relaunch. Outlook will then create a new one. I think this happened because it was a few days between making the clone and getting it to boot. This is my backup PC, though, and Outlook on my desktop (main) PC is up-to-date. Should I just copy that one over? If so, where do I find it? A search for all the .ost files on my PC yields 41 matches. How do I identify the right one? Thanks for any tips.Unable to save Outlook attachments to Onedrive error: File Not Found

Our medical school uses an SQL database to produce webcal feeds for class and building schedules. They've been using these for years without issue. At some point recently, users who are newly subscribing to them are only seeing events for 2 days before the current date and 7 days after. Subscribing to the same webcal feed in Google calendar syncs all of the published events.Outlook Mac & Android pause syncing Yahoo mail
On both my Mac laptop and my Android phone, Outlook occasionally stops receiving Yahoo emails. It's 1:00pm and the last email I've received was at 8:40am. If I log onto mail.yahoo.com in my Edge browser, I've received dozens of emails since then, but they don't appear in either Outlook app. This happens frequently. Later in the day, I'll see all the emails, but in the meanwhile it may be hours before Outlook receives them. Why does this happen, and how do I fix it? Microsoft Outlook for Mac Version 16.93 (25011212) on MacBook Sequoia 15.2, current version on Android Samsung Galaxy S22.
BT Emails on Outlook New
I have been using New Outlook for Windows for a few months. I have 2 third party email accounts set up and both have been working fine until today when I received a message telling me to sign into my btinternet account. Since then I have not been able sign in. I have deleted and reinstalled the account but it makes no difference. This is happen on on both my Windows 11 devices. I also use Outlook on 2 Android devices and they are signing in fine, so the fault must be at the Outlook end and not with BT. Has anyone else experienced this issue today? Any suggestions how to resolve? ThanksViewing 3rd person Google calendar in Outlook
A co-worker has shared their personal Google calendar with me, but I cannot see it as a shared calendar in Outlook. In the email from Google telling me the calendar was shared with me, I click on "Add to Calendar." The calendar then gets added to the defunct Google calendar associated with my work email. (Several years ago, my organization migrated from Google Office to Microsoft 365.) From the Integrate Calendar section in Google calendar, it appears there is a link that should work if the calendar is public and there is a secret link for personal use. The former makes the calendar available to search engines, and the latter should not be shared because it gives admin access to the calendar. Everything I can find online talks about how to integrate one's OWN Google calendar using the secret link. PLEASE HELP!
