I need to print an entire email thread, not one email at a time.
I found that Microsoft 365 Online and new Microsoft desktop don't have a File menu. But at the top right of new Outlook desktop you can toggle it back to old Outlook and the File menu comes back, from which you can print a whole thread of emails. Here's where I learned that: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/cannot-print-entire-email-thread-in-new-outlook/e2552218-4be1-4ac9-a8b5-169c01ed75f1
No, this does not work. It still only prints one email, not the entire thread.
I don't know why Microsoft has to make everything so complicated. My University currently forces students to use the online version of Outlook and even doing basic things is so frustrating - loads of things are not labelled, there doesn't seem to be an option to mark an e-mail as important (and, typically for Microsoft, the "help" information is outdated / inapplicable to the web version / relies on asking random people on this forum instead of actually providing help), and there doesn't seem to be an option to print an entire e-mail thread, as you've discovered. It's so irritating as I can literally see the whole thread by pressing the bottom 3 dots on each e-mail yet when I try to print, it only does one!
It's not only counter-intuitive, it's utterly stupid. Whoever decided to design it that way needs to be fired.
On my personal e-mail, which thankfully isn't Outlook or Gmail, I can see the whole thread and print the whole thread, or print to PDF. The email provider has a few minor issues but it's mostly intuitive and easy to use because it's not made by Microsoft or Google.
