I'm Totally LOST!!!!--OUTLOOK 365 Only shows emails---No Menu???
Outlook 365 only shows Inbox emails. There's no MENU to select from. How do I select File and see a list of the options???? I'm trying to STOP the email alerts popping up on my laptop each ...
I see it didnt show the far left side of the screen. I'll try again.
- Was doing a bit more research on this issue as I assumed you've already looked for the ribbon option.
A similar issue that another user posted was 'fixed' by the realization that they were using Windows Mail, as opposed to Office Outlook.
That could potentially be your issue as well, but let me know either way 🙂
Cheers,
Mike- Mike,
I don't know how to determine the difference except I know what outlook looks like as I've used it forever. About 2 years ago I got a notice from microsoft in my outlook mail box that I wasn't subscribed and they partially froze my ability to use outlook. I have 5 laptops....not using all of them...unfortunately bought some that weren't fast enough for me. When I log in to microsoft they show I have ability to have office 365 outlook on 5 computers and I have it on three. My subscription with 365 runs out in Feb....
How do I determine if I have Windows email? Didn't know there was such a thing. I'm 77 and all I can say is the intrusions from microsoft and windows are driving me crazy....they force you to have pins to get into your own computer and keep wanting to put your files in the cloud and want y ou to be able to sync every thing so you can access anywhere anytime.....I dont want it!! I will try to find out how to get rid of windows mail which is just on the one laptop I sent you the picture of.
On the other laptops outlook started "synchronizing".....I don't understand that and it just slows down my sending and receiving..... Is there a phone number that I can call microsoft for help? Thank you.- Any luck?
Ok cant quite tell much from that screenshot but it may be a hidden ribbon. Bring your mouse to the very top of the screen whilst in Outlook and you're looking for icons that look like this, likely in the top right (attached image below).
If they appear, hit the small box icon with an arrow inside it and change it from "auto-hide ribbon" to "show tabs and commands".
