Search Folder Creation Issue
I've been using the new version of Outlook for around a year and a half without any issues. However, today I've noticed that I can no longer create Search Folders that filter emails by category. When I go through the process, I can name the Search Folder and choose the folder type without any problems. The issue occurs when I try to select the email categories. The category list appears, but clicking on a category doesn't actually select it. Because of this, I get the message "Select at least one category", even though I've clicked on one. This happens in both the desktop app and Outlook on the web, so it doesn't seem to be specific to my laptop. Is anyone else aware of this issue, and if so are there any workarounds?

Microsoft has been rolling out offline functionality in phases, and the latest update now allows users to add and open attachments while offline. I created a short walkthrough covering what works offline now, what users need to know about attaching files from OneDrive versus local drives, and which features still require an internet connection. I also shared my discoveries when creating a calendar event that you don't want to miss.

Personal Microsoft account security code
Dear Microsoft Outlook Support Team, I am currently facing an issue while trying to reset my Outlook account password. I have forgotten my password and attempted to reset it, but I am encountering problems during the verification process. The system is asking for mobile verification codes multiple times, and I am receiving an error message stating that the service is not available. Because of this, I am unable to complete the password reset process. I kindly request you to assist me in resolving this issue and help me regain access to my account as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and support.Classic Outlook: The People Card Is Not Retiring, Just the Expanded View
One part of this Classic Outlook update could easily confuse people, so it is worth clearing up. In June 2026, Microsoft is retiring the People Card Expanded View in Classic Outlook. The full People Card is not going away. Users will still be able to open the standard contact card. What is changing is the expanded view, which gives users a little more context and a few extra details in one place. It may seem like a small change at first, but these types of updates can still affect how users look up contact information and move through their daily work. I put together a full blog post that explains what is changing, what stays, and where users can still get the richer contact experience.

Outlook For Android Search Not Working with IMAP Folders
There has been a BUG with Outlook For Android Search and IMAP email accounts for many years. If you use an Outlook or Gmail email address all seems Ok. But if you use a different IMAP email provider, and use Folders to save read emails in, the Outlook Search function will never find those emails in the folders. It will find emails within the Inbox, but the moment you move them to another folder nothing will ever be found. I have reported this to Microsoft many times, and have had confirmation from them there is a BUG and they are aware of it... But the BUG never gets fixed, and the next time I report the BUG they start all over again saying they have never heard of such a BUG and it must be my phone, etc., etc... But a quick Google finds many users have issues with the exact same BUG - I guess Microsoft Support don't know how to use Google??? Anyway, I am stuck in this loop with Outlook For Android Support yet again! So I have a request: CAN EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT THIS BUG TO OUTLOOK FOR ANDROID SUPPORT??? Please use the "Settings/Help & feedback/Contact Outlook mobile support" option within the app, and report you have the "IMAP Folder Search BUG". Maybe, just maybe we can get Microsoft to take this years old bug seriously! (I have found reports of the BUG back to 2019...)Major journal's email does not pass Microsofts arbitrary standards nothing I can do about this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5755307/emails-not-being-recieved-from-sender-******@hotcr And to everyone thats defending this please tell me one advantage this has over putting it in the spam folder with warnings and blocking links etc. Tell me how this isn't the technological equivalent of not letting you buy laundry detergent because its poisonous if consumed. Look at all the people that were hospitalized from eating laundry detergent, clearly laundry detergent needs to be baned.Outlook for Mac issue with contacts when saved
