Trouble Updating Password
Making note of a very frustrating issue I've been dealing with for, as best as I can recall, at least a year. I flag my account to force a password update every 72 days. On the magical day, and I'm not sure why, but everything falls apart. Today, I experienced this and want to outline the scenario. Tried signing into outlook web via Chrome on a PC and was told I needed to update my password. Type the new password twice (top box and lower box) and was told "The new password must be different from the old password." I can assure you, this password was not only different than my old password, it was also different than any password I've ever used before. With this, I am unable to update my password. I tried resetting from a different device in Chrome and received the same message and error. Back on the PC, I tried the process in Edge and had the same issue - was told "The new password must be different from the old password." Tried using the "Forgot Password" option (although I knew my existing (or old) password) and was told to enter my 2FA code. I entered that and was told "There is a temporary disruption in this service. Please try again later." All the while, my phone is still pulling in emails and OneDrive claims to be connected. Killed Phone Link, killed OneDrive, tested again and still was unable to update my password. In the end, I had to use the "Forgot Password" option and click "Use Other Method" to bypass 2FA and use my backup email to receive the code. I make mention of this because I've been having this issue, every 72 days, for a long time now and, when I search for a solution, I find other posts about this that are years old. I do believe this is a bug in the setting for having the system force us to update our password every 72 days. Moving forward, my plan is to set a recurring reminder to reset the password every 90 days or so and bypass this 72 day "feature" for my MSFT account. Just providing the details of the issue and my workaround in case this helps someone else and helps to bring the issue to the attention of those on the inside in case a solution can be developed down the road. Thanks, Mirage

Is there a way for me to filter for any email that has been snoozed in the past? I know outlook knows as it shows the snooze icon. but i have not found a way to filter for these emails
Outlook.exe with high CPU load after opening attachments
Hello, since build 2105 and still also in build 2110, Outlook.exe causes high CPU load each time after opening an attachment: - Approx. 1 minute after an attachment was opened (for example a CSV, XLS or DOC file) and watched in an external application as Excel, Word or others, the task Outlook.exe starts fully using one CPU core for 2-3 minutes. - Apart from the CPU load, according to Windows task manager Outlook.exe neither uses SSD/HDD nor memory nor network. So it's not clear what it does. - The CPU load immediately stops as soon as you go back to Outlook. - I was able to reproduce the problem on different PCs (all with current Windows 10 + Office/Microsoft 365). - Sometimes, it takes some time until this strange behaviour starts and several applications have to be opened together with Outlook. But as soon as it happens for the first time, it comes back repeatedly each time you open an attachment and watch it in a different application than Outlook. - When you revert Office to build 2104, the problem no more appears. The Outlook in-app support could not really understand nor help, but finally just stated this behaviour would be new and normal, without telling for what it is and what happens. Can anybody confirm this problem?

This morning I noticed I had a few emails missing from my New Outlook Inbox. I knew the emails had be sent and should be populated in my email Inbox. Ultimately, I switched back to Classic Outlook and the emails were available (in the Classic Outlook inbox). Are there any other reports of this type of behavior with New Outlook?
Unable to view email on the web/app
Anytime I try to access my email I get a "Your request can't be completed right now" message. I can sign in but I am unable to view any messages. I am also unable to send. This has been on going since Thanksgiving. I have tried multiple browsers (safari and chrome) on my Mac and even tried with my iPhone. I even tired the iPhone app and can still not view any messages. From what I am reading this is a common error over the weekend but I am unable to find any support. Can someone please fix Outlook?Email Distribution Failure Summary
