Shared Outlook Calendar disappeared
An Outlook Calendar that my wife and I share has suddenly disappeared from my Outlook Calendar. It still shows on my wife's computer. We set this up a number of years ago, so I have no idea where or how to troubleshoot this. I do recall that we had to each create outlook.com email addresses so that we could access Microsoft Exchange. We are using the Classic version of Outlook. In case it's useful, here's the exact information from the Outlook About page: "Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2605 Build 16.0.20026.20168) 64-bit." Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.
Outlook.com shared calendar disappeared for one user
I have a personal Microsoft account with a Live.com address. For over 10 years, I have had a calendar that is shared with my wife and daughter. It was created when Microsoft introduced the Family Room feature, which created a shared OneNote and shared calendar. While the Family Room feature was discontinued, the shared OneNote and shared calendar have continued to work without problem until today. The shared calendar has disappeared from my daughter's Outlook on Windows, Web and Android. My wife still has access to the shared calendar. I have tried removing her shared access permission and then adding it again. She receives the invitation to accept the access and clicks Accept. The shared calendar reappears in her Outlook calendars with all events shown, but after a few seconds, the calendar disappears. I have not found any useful information about this problem online. All the articles I can find relating to problems with shared calendars relate to Outlook for Microsoft 365 and not the consumer Outlook.com. If anyone can help resolve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.New Outlook Offline Mode: Add and open attachments while offline
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.

Current State: You can create a category and assign it to a contact card. Prior to April 2026, you can not easily delete the actual Category, which removes it from the left navigation. Background Info: The contact categories in New Outlook are separate from the Inbox and Calendar categories. The Delete a category icon in the People Tab appears to have been missed. Workaround Solution: Try this method if you do not have the latest New Outlook People Hub Enabled. You can remove the category from each contact by pressing the X by the category. Then close and reopen New Outlook; the category will no longer appear in the People tab's left navigation. More Information as of June 15, 2026: Microsoft has fixed the issue with Contact category deletion. Select a contact | Select Add a Category | Deselect the Category Once you remove the assigned category from all contacts, the category will automatically be removed from the left navigation. Note: You cannot select multiple contacts and apply a category. It is on the backlog. If you find this information helpful, please mark it as the best response. /Teresa #traccreations4e Original post: 02/05/2024 Modified post: 06/15/2026
Outlook doesn't work for 4th IMAP email addy
Okay, so the title was probably badly worded. Ever since the new outlook, my 4th IMAP email address doesn't work - and it worked in the old outlook. I have 4 IMAPs and 2 gmails I check through Outlook, on two different computers. One is a brand new setup. The email address I am having problems with works fine with the exact same settings on my mobile app (not outlook) and it works fine if I add it to gmail. So it's definitely an outlook problem. Both computers keep redirecting me to sign in, as if it were a wrong password. It isn't. I've tried adding it the prompted way, and by clicking settings and signing in or managing it through there. I need other ideas. I can't seem to fix this.
Feature Request: Add "Recent Activity Feed" combining Sent & Received emails
Respected Outlook Product Team, I am writing to submit a feature request aimed at improving productivity and message tracking for power users who heavily rely on Microsoft Outlook for their daily communication workflows. The Problem: Currently, Outlook separates communication into distinct folders: "Inbox" for incoming mail and "Sent Items" for outgoing mail. When managing large-scale communications—specifically when sending bulk or recurring emails via BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)—it becomes incredibly tedious to constantly switch back and forth between the Inbox and Sent Items folders to track recent operations or verify the exact sequence of historical activities. The existing "Group messages by conversation" feature also fails to merge these independent outgoing streams seamlessly unless a direct reply is received. The Solution / Feature Proposal: I highly request the product team to introduce a "Recent Activity Feed" filter or view within the main Outlook Inbox interface. Inspired by modern social media and collaboration timeline feeds, this feature should display both Sent and Received emails chronologically in a single unified message list. Incoming and outgoing messages should be clearly distinguishable using intuitive icons (e.g., incoming/outgoing arrows) and labels (e.g., "SENT (BCC)" vs "RECEIVED"). This will allow professionals to review all recent actions, sent bulk updates, and incoming threads at a single glance without breaking their operational focus. I have attached a UI/UX Concept Design image with this email to visually demonstrate how this feature would streamline the user experience seamlessly. I sincerely hope the engineering and product management teams will consider this feature in future Microsoft Outlook updates to adapt the platform to modern, high-volume workflow requirements. Thank you for your time and continuous efforts to improve Microsoft Outlook. Regards, Pawan Kumar

Outlook 16.109.3 crashes on launch on macOS 26 (Tahoe beta) - UTI Info.plist regression
Environment: macOS 26.5.1 Build 25F80 (Tahoe beta) - Microsoft Outlook 16.109.3 (build 26053122) - MacBook Air Mac14,2 arm64, 16GB Issue: Outlook crashes immediately on every launch. Occurs on clean install with no profile. Tested two builds (26053122 and 26051019) - both crash identically. Root cause from system logs: macOS 26 has tightened UniformTypeIdentifiers enforcement. Outlook's Info.plist is missing explicit declarations for 12+ com.microsoft UTI types. On every launch: "UniformTypeIdentifiers: Type 'com.microsoft.DataObject' was expected to be declared and exported in the Info.plist of Microsoft Outlook.app, but it was not found." Same error fires for: com.microsoft.Embedded-Object, EMF-Plus, GIF-Office-Art, Ink-Serialized-Format, JFIF-Office-Art, Link-Source-Descriptor, Object-Descriptor, Embed-Source, PNG-Office-Art, Office-Drawing-Drag-Drop-Format, Office-Drawing-Shape-Format. Secondary error: /private/var/db/DetachedSignatures does not exist on macOS 26, causing an SQLite open failure in libsqlite3. Workaround: None. Outlook Web only until a fix ships. Ask: Please update Outlook's Info.plist to explicitly declare all com.microsoft UTI types to comply with macOS 26's stricter enforcement. This will affect all Microsoft 365 Mac apps when macOS 26 ships publicly this fall.New desktop outlook do not show incoming message in conversation
