New Outlook: Creating Rules for CC: and Sent Items (Workaround solution)
Many users have expressed that they are missing one of Outlook Classic's features: the ability to create rules for sent items. One popular use is automatically moving a Sent item to a designated folder of choice, which reduces the time it takes to handle email. Currently, rules in New Outlook manage received messages in the Inbox. This blog provides details. New Outlook Limitations: Outgoing Message Rules » TRACCreations4E I am happy to share that I finally came up with a workaround solution to add a copy of the message you sent to a folder of your choice. Yes, the original message will remain in the Sent folder, but you don't have to move it manually. This method should hold you over until Microsoft rolls out the functionality for "Sent rules," which has not been added to the roadmap.

Some Events Not Syncing With All Apps
I cannot figure out what the issue is, but some events are not showing up in all my calendar apps: Outlook for Mac, Apple Calendar, Fantastical, Dato and Teams. I just added an event using Outlook, and it is not showing in Apple Calendar or Dato, but it shows in Fantastical, Outlook and Teams. I added one using Fantastical's menu bar and it didn't show in Outlook or Teams. There is no rhyme or reason; syncing is just not consistently working.New Outlook on windows disable advertising and sign in with corporate account
Hi all, with Google workspace users, we are finding that new outlook is considerably better when adding the gmail accounts. When signing in it will add email, accounts and calendars and synch beautifully. The Outlook classic needs the google workspace synch addin for outlook which can be troublesome. In the Outlook Classic, the users were able to sign into Office App as they have Premium Subscription. Then add their gmail account only. Thier office 365 account/mailbox was not listed in the mailbox section which was great In the new outlook, if they add their gmail account only. They will be targeted with advertising. It seems the workaround is to add office 365 account as a mailbox (but also as a primary account) to stop advertising. We have disabled all advertising preferences in settings and we are just testing this. Is there a more viable workaround where dont see the office 365 mailbox?Forgotten Attachment Reminder feature is not available
I'm facing an issue in the New Outlook. Every time I send an email, I need a specific attachment to be included. After some research, I discovered that I could save the attachment link in a template and insert it manually when composing emails. However, this doesn't fully solve the problem—because honestly, I still forget to use the template quite often. I also learned that Outlook Classic and Outlook on the Web have a built-in feature that warns users when they mention an attachment but forget to include one. Unfortunately, this reminder doesn’t seem to be working for me either. Is there anyone who can guide me with a reliable solution to ensure my attachment is never missed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Concerns about Outlook security
After discovering that my Outlook account had been hacked, I changed my password and verification settings, on July 27. Since that time I have received more than 30 messages from the Microsoft Account Team including a "Single Use Code" for sign-on. All of these represent sign-on attempts made by someone other than myself. The message from the Account Team says "If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake." Nonetheless, this seems like a relentless campaign to get into my account, perhaps by some sort of bot. What should I do?
Outlook starts and then closes immediately
Is there any way to restore Outlook (desktop version, classic) to a working state? After Windows updates and user rights updates, Outlook went into a state where it opens but immediately closes afterwards. I have three different email accounts connected to Outlook, and now I can no longer access two of them over the network. Outlook’s email databases are in .ost format, which means I cannot access them in any way anymore. I read that this problem has been reported before, but I haven’t been able to fix it. It’s crucial for me to access the .ost emails (there are over 100,000). Could anyone help or know a working solution to this issue? (I have already reinstalled the programs, etc.)Calendar printing font too small
I just got the New Outlook and cannot find a way to increase the font size in a PRINTED calendar. The calendar looks readable on the screen, but when I print a copy, the font is maybe 6 point. The print interface has changed and there is no longer a way that I can find to change the font size. Any ideas? Also, I used to print my monthly calendars in landscape format. Now, when I select a landscape option, it simply shrinks the portrait version of the calendar to fit on the 8 1/2" height and gives me a blank column to the side as opposed to reformatting the calendar to get all 30 days on a single landscape sheet. Any ideas?
