Long delay for incoming emails for one of my gmail accounts
I recently started using the new Outlook Mail and added multiple email accounts (hot mail, yahoo, and Gmail) and found that the incoming email for one of gmail accounts are delayed for hours (the 6:24pm email yesterday hasn't shown up at 10:30am today). Any advice are welcome! Thank you.pxs132Feb 08, 2025Occasional Reader19Views0likes1CommentCan't send emails from shared mailbox
In the last few days, we can no longer send emails from a shared inbox from the desktop Outlook Classic app on PC. Given that the shared inbox is the primary email for our business, this is a big deal. A few points: This has worked for years, and we have not made any changes to permissions or other account settings. This is happening on two PCs running Outlook Classic. The problem started suddenly on both PCs. I have already created a new profile but the issue remains. This does not appear to be a corrupt profile or similar issue. We can send email from the shared mailbox using the Outlook web app. We can send email from the shared mailbox using Outlook on an iPad. I spent almost two hours with Microsoft support last night without resolution. Has anyone else run into this? This is frustrating.frostycanFeb 08, 2025Copper Contributor15Views0likes1CommentEmail Templates
I've switched over one of my devices to the "New Outlook"....only to discover there is no ability to save an email as a Template? Well not as far as I can see atm at least. I use heaps of email templates in the old Outlook, and they are an incredible time-saver. Am I missing a feature here?GeoffLCSFeb 07, 2025Iron Contributor81Views0likes9CommentsAssign a Task - Microsoft Outlook
Good Evening Everyone! Need your help on a really specific issue regarding task assignment on microsoft outlook. First, i classify my emails as "conversation" for a better tracking and follow-up, and to make sure that I always have a full picture of the discussion before answering. For those who know, this "conversation" features works with the email subject. So if i change anything on the subject, outlook will create a new conversation. My issue with task assignment is that it adds: "RE: " to the subject of all task assigned, and therefore creates a lot of new conversation in my inbox. I would like the subject to remain exactly the same as the email / conversation field. Is that possible and how to do it? Thanks for your helpChristophe_De_SpevillFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor315Views1like7CommentsFunctionality: does it work or not
We would expect that with a name like Microsoft behind it, it would just work—work properly—work without the constant need to troubleshoot the simple (to us) function of searching through our emails to find one in particular. In my case when I search and reach the bottom of the search criteria returned list, there is a "more" link. When I click on "more" the system 'goes away and thinks about it' and never recovers from and or returns the "more' results. This is Outlook. It is not a free email service, but it still collects volumes of information about the user(s) and benefits from that revenue in addition to my monthly subscription fee. I expect these types of bugs to have been worked out long ago. The multiple dots near the top of the search area are traveling from left to right. Like I said, never recover or return results. Why?AYFeb 07, 2025Occasional Reader5Views0likes0CommentsShared folder in Outlook for Mac not accessible
I setup permissions for a sub-folder that I want to share with another user. I use Outlook on a PC. The other user has Outlook on a Mac (version 16.91.1). I shared the account, inbox, and sub-folder. The account and inbox have "Folder Visible" checked, but everything else is unselected or set to "None". The sub-folder has Editor permission level. The account shows up at the bottom of the folders list, but I'm unable to open it or expand it. I double-checked the permissions and they were correct. As a test, I change the account and inbox permissions to "Contributor". Same problem. I changed the account and inbox permissions to "Reviewer" (which changes the read permissions from "None" to "Full Details". That worked, but it also allowed my inbox to be accessible and readable. I don't want that. I simply want to give read access to the sub-folder. I've successfully used the settings in the first paragraph several times between 2 PCs using Outlook. Is there a limitation in the Mac version that doesn't allow you share a sub-folder without also giving read access to the inbox?RickKruFeb 06, 2025Occasional Reader9Views0likes0CommentsOutlook.live.com regular errors
Since a couple of weeks I get error when accessing Outlook.live.com. I'm logged in but the site reports either (1) that a request cannot be completed or (2) a new page comes up saying to refresh the application. After some time the sites works again. There is no network problem since others sites work and I get a response from MS. I removed cache and restarted system OSX and also tried other browser then Safari. But also there the same problem. Any suggestions are welcome.RealRedHairFeb 06, 2025Occasional Reader10Views0likes0CommentsUsing Categories in Outlook
We use Categories in Outlook to have emails assigned to different people in our team. In the new Outlook the Categories are now inbedded in the subject line which is not very convenient for us in the way we are using the Categories. Is there a way to have it shown e.g. beside the Flag and also showing the colour of the Category instead of the Category´s name?johan_sormanFeb 06, 2025Copper Contributor326Views1like2CommentsRule to only show 3rd email received with same subject
When a report fails, I receive an email notifying me that it failed. The reports will retry twice so I then receive a second and third email. The report doesn’t fully fail until the third email which is when I actually need to take action. Most often a second or third email is never received but with hundreds of reports it would be nice to only receive the third email on my inbox to remove some noise and make it easier to highlight when I need to take action. All three emails will be from the same sender, with the same subject, and received within 60 minutes of each other. I’d love the first two emails to move to a different folder and the third email stay in my inbox. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to configure a rule for this but no luck. Any tips?Solvedmathewsn04Feb 06, 2025Copper Contributor20Views0likes2CommentsPublic folders have disappeared in NEW outlook for Mac
