"Accidental" email archiving during typo correction
This has been driving me nuts! I knew I kept getting emails going to archive but wasn't able to figure out what the trigger was until today. When I finally figured it out, I came in here to see if others had noticed it too. Thank you for posting!
I do have a small workaround to avoid it, but not a fix to stop it for good (cough code release cough). The problem only happens when you're working from a reply (or forward) that is within the frame of the Outlook app, and doesn't happen on a version of the same message that has been popped out to a new window. So for an individual message where you want to make sure to avoid it, use the pop out to new window button then compose the message.
And for the person who's annoyed by this frequently, they may want to set their application default to always pop out on compose and reply.
I notice that the popped out window also is a little friendlier on that point of where it's suggesting the solution. It still doesn't want you to just start typing over or backspacing or deleting the word, but it seems to respond a little better if you do a double-click on the word, that hover card disappears a little faster and you can start working on the change you want to make.
- This does seem to have been fixed.
This is such a Microsoft solution.
Most replies will not be in pop out boxes hence this happens with almost every reply. I end up archiving almost every important email thread. It is such a nuisance. I m at 5 mins per day - checking un-archiving emails.
