Outlook end date occurs before start date iritating!!
Hello Community I have just purchased a new laptop with windows 11, and whenever I try to create my new signature and change the font, I receive an error message about end date occurs before start date. I have searched the forums and previous posts which all point towards opening Options, Calendar and chaning the start and end times. Only issue is the options showing in this new version of outlook do not show start and end times. If I click on the 'work hours and location button....guess what....Yep, I just getthe same error message again. So, I cannot change anything and there's nowhere on the net that shows a solution either. Please could somebody advise if they have had this issue and how they resolved?

We have pushed all our users to use Outlook mobile apps on iOS and Android, however many are complaining that they have created rules on the Outlook desktop client to put emails in certain sub folders (i.e. all emails from my manager go into a sub folder) and not getting notifications. As the email is moved to the folder before it gets to the client, the mobile apps do not display a notification. As a work around I've had to set up some Flows so that if email received from a certain email address, it displays a notification. The user can then open Outlook and go to the relevant folder. Its not pretty. This seems like a basic feature, its available in the iOS and Android stock mail apps which most used before we pushed them to Outlook. Any plans on the mobile apps to have notifications for sub folders?Andrew SparksNov 14, 2024Brass Contributor252KViews18likes107CommentsCannot add new events on Outlook Calendar
Since a week or two ago I haven't been able to add new events to my Outlook Calendar on my laptop. However, I can add an event on my mobile and this is then visible on the laptop as well. After I have created the event, the error message is: "Could not save event. Try waiting for a while. Keep event open, so you can try again later. " I tried updating Office, but it did not help.Pia8Nov 14, 2024Occasional Reader36Views2likes1CommentIncorrect "reply all" translation in Telugu Outlook
The "reply all" is translated to "అన్నిటికీ సమాధానం పంపు". Instead it must be "అందరికీ ప్రత్యుత్తరం". I'm recommending a different Telugu word here because you used that word in "reply". Also, the meaning of the phrase that you used for "reply all" is not at all what that button is intended to do. For quick reference attached the image that shows "reply", "reply all", "forward" buttons in Telugu.MarkandeyaNov 14, 2024Occasional Reader9Views0likes1CommentDifferent phrases for same information in Telugu translation of Outlook

Hi, I am running Windows 10 with Office Pro 2021/Outlook 2021. I am getting the maximum size error message when I try to add or even delete a calendar entry. The actual sizes of my .pst are 1.9gb and .ost ARE 50mb, no where near the max size of 50gb documented for both file types. I have also run compress on all of the files with no change. The registry entries for max file sizes do not exist. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!handyguy55Nov 13, 2024Occasional Reader8Views0likes0CommentsOutlook Legacy Mac doesn't display Latin1 & Unicode in Subject from Gmail correctly
[Second version of this post with fewer Latin1 & Unicode characters) Summary: Outlook Legacy on Mac is not correctly displaying non-ASCII characters in the subject line, when sent from other mail clients, including Gmail. From Apple Mail: Original subject line: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: “®©” Unicode: ✅🚩♻︎ Body: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: “®©” Unicode: ✅🚩♻︎ Displayed by Outlook: In the message list: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: ╲®©╡ Unicode: â˛∑›ƒ˚©â˙»ï¸⁄ In the MessageSource: Subject: Mail to Outlook: Latin1: ‚Äú¬Æ¬©‚Äù Unicode: ‚úÖüö©‚ôªÔ∏é Note that all of the characters in the original subject line display correctly in the message body. Some of the Latin1 characters are displaying correctly in the subject line (in this example the Copyright symbol), but not others, and none of the Unicode symbols. The same email displays correctly in Gmail. The test email sent directly from Gmail displays the same way in Outlook. However, when the message is sent FROM Outlook, the subject and body appear correct. MessageSource: Subject: Mail FROM Outlook: Latin1: =?UTF-8?B?4oCcwq7CqeKAnQ==?= Unicode: =?UTF-8?B?4pyF8J+aqeKZu++4jg==?= Details: Using MacOS 13.7,Outlook Version 16.91 (24111020) Gmail (Google Workspace) is the email provider. The problem occurs when sending via Gmail directly, or another email client like Apple Mail. I tested sending an email from outlook.office.com and the problem does not occur! Incoming MessageSource: Subject: =?utf-8?B?T3V0bG9va1dlYiB0byBPdXRsb29rOiBMYXRpbjE6IOKAnMKuwqnigJ0gVW5p?= =?utf-8?B?Y29kZTog4pyF8J+aqeKZu++4jg==?= This problem does not occur when switching to New Outlook, and the incoming messages display correctly from all sources. This leads me to believe it's an Outlook Legacy problem, not a Gmail encoding problem (ie. Legacy is just not supporting the specific subject-line encoding being used by Gmail.)ExampleEagleNov 13, 2024Occasional Reader5Views0likes0CommentsOutlook MacOS drops all attachments sending emails
This is impacting an increasing number of users for us - it's infuriating dealing with MS support on this. User adds attachments to an outbound email - either manually (from local disk) or by just forwarding an email with existing attachments. Outlook shows attachments as present. After hitting Send, the Sent view shows the attachment icon briefly - the icon then disappears, email goes out without any attachments. Removing and adding back the account doesn't fix the problem. Reinstalling outlook doesn't fix the problem... I've raised this with MS Support several times asking for escalation...SolvedJan_NZNov 13, 2024Copper Contributor1.1KViews0likes4CommentsHow contacts are supposed to work in the Outlook web app
I only use the desktop app, keep it updated but don't use the one listed as "new" in the start menu. My contacts show in a folder called contacts. When I highlight a contact in people view all of the contact information appears in the reading pane on the right. In the web app, there is a folder called your contacts (screenshot 1, red circle), which does not contain my contacts. To find my contacts, I have to turn off the "new contacts" switch at the top (screenshot 1, blue circle). Then my contact folder appears (screenshot 1, green circle). But when I hightlight a contact, only, minimal details appear in the reading pane (screenshot 1, purple circle) and if I click the 3 dots it has the option to "add to contacts." However, if I click on edit (screenshot 2), I see all the contact information. Can someone please help me understand how MS intends for me to migrate my contact data to this system so that I still have access on the desktop app but that contacts show up as intended in the web app? Thank you.scottrucciNov 13, 2024Copper Contributor42Views0likes2Comments
