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

Unable to sync my iPhone to my Outlook 2019 anymore
I can’t sync my Outlook 2019 calendar and contacts to my iPhone on my Lenovo Windows 11 Computer anymore. For years I have been using iTunes to sync my phone but recently, for some unknown reason, iTunes quit recognizing my computer and all attempts to reauthorize it failed. My research into this situation told me that Apple is phasing out iTunes in favor of Apple Devices and Apple Music. Apple Devices does not sync my Contacts or Calendar. Also, for some reason my Outlook Data files are .OST files instead of .PST. I don’t know why this is because I am not on an Exchange and my Office 2019 is a stand-alone. The .OST format seems to be causing problems with any solution I have been able to find. Even iCloud cant sync them. Can anybody help me get my iPhone to sync my calendar and contacts because I use it all the time?
New Outlook
I have been trying to move to the new Outlook for over a year, but I always end up having to revert to Classic Outlook. The new Outlook is slow, particularly when opening windows, and some features appear to have been designed to look modern rather than to be practical. The design also makes it difficult to work efficiently: there are too many colours, the visibility of important information is poor, and the overall experience feels more like using the web app than a proper desktop application. There are also functional issues. For example, Quick Steps do not always work correctly when emails are grouped. Today I missed a Zoom call because I could not click the meeting link in the location field. I also could not copy the link or even view the full URL. This was the final issue for me. In my opinion, Microsoft should reconsider the direction of the new Outlook and instead invest in improving Classic Outlook by making it faster and reducing its memory usage. That should be the priority before adding more new features. It is frustrating to buy a laptop with a large amount of memory only for much of it to be consumed by WhatsApp, Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft tools. Please focus on optimising existing applications before introducing flashier features and AI functionality that often clutter the screen rather than improve productivity.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.Quick Parts are Now Available in New Outlook

New Outlook - Using two Mails with slightly different domain
Hey everyone, As Old Outlook is connected with an additional app for one of my clients, I thought I could use New Outlook as my new operation centre for my various mail addresses. Now the issue: my main business-address - also used for MS365 and Microsoft Entra ID and connected to my MS Account: "david [@] wb. koenig-leiche . at" and my main personal address which has its own web-mail "david@ koenig-leiche . at" are not possible to be added together. When I try to add the second address I receive the following error: "This email account has already been added." {"SessionId":"fc71f35e-f5d2-774c-8e5e-dd65b2b97a05","Timestamp":1780341019095,"Error":"INVALIDCREDENTIALS CANCEL"} Has someone an idea how to solve this? Thanks!
The New Outlook Notifications for email with rules not working. Missing features
I have to use the New Outlook to be prepared for the eventuality when Microsoft forces the change. I'm missing notifications for emails coming in when it has mailbox rules to organize it. The Notification Center in Windows is ok, but there should be a way in the rules to set a notification in a window like the Reminders window. being able to set a specific sound would be beneficial as well. I've had to resort to using Categories and constantly checking Outlook to see if I missed anything. This has resulted in missing many time-sensitive alerts and emails. Such as a Midnight internet outage at a business-critical building on my day off. Resulting in 6 hours of downtime during business rather than a resolution before business opening.
Issues with outlook and teams on android
I'm not sure why, but since yesterday both Teams and Outlook have quit working. I have an S25 Ultra. I attempted to clear data and cache and do a fresh install. Outlook just hangs on a black screen with the notification "optimizing database," and Teams just indefinitely loads. I can't check my personal email or my work email and can't keep track of my work chats on Teams.New desktop outlook do not show incoming message in conversation
Hello. I would like to ask you about solution for this problem in new Outlook. I send message and i got reply for this message. This message i see as conversation in Inbox. When i collapse this conversation, i see only my original message, not reply message. But reply message I see only in header in list of mail, i can't open this message. Where can be problem? ThxIMAP connection error INVALIDCREDENTIALS
I am trying to add my external IMAP mailbox from my hosting provider (Easyhost.be) to the new Outlook app / Outlook.com. However, when I try to add this mailbox to my domain 'vinedo.be', I immediately receive the error message: INVALIDCREDENTIALS INTERACTIONREQUIRED. In the classic Outlook desktop app, the account works immediately via IMAP with exactly the same password. Everything also works perfectly with the Outlook app on an Android smartphone. There appears to be an incorrect tenant attribution or cache in the background of the Microsoft Cloud that is internally blocking authentication for the domain vinedo.be. Could you clear the cache/tenant attribution for the domain vinedo.be so that the IMAP connection is routed externally again? The mailbox email address removed for privacy reasons was hosted by Gandi.net until recently. This is presumably causing the problem.You’ve tried to sign in too many attempts with incorrect password or account .
For 3 weeks now every time I try to sign in I get that message but account and password is correct, I have reached out to chat support every day for a fix have even done all trouble shooting steps multiple times a week. I recently got told that it is a known issue with the server and it is at Microsoft ends but there is no time line to fix it. It’s know become a joke that I’ve been locked out for 3 weeks with no help .Problem adding IMAP email account to Outlook on Android
I am trying to add a couple of IMAP email accounts to Outlook on Android. Both are for my own domain, and I already have both added to Outlook on my windows laptop without any issues. One of the emails, "name@ domain . com" is added without any problems on Android, but my catch-all email, "*@ domain . com" will not add, and constantly gives the "check email/password" error. This email works with Outlook on my windows PC, and with other email apps on Android. I suspect the problem is due to the *@ domain address, but my email provider says it should work with Outlook, and it already works on Windows Outlook. Has anyone seen this before? Stephen.Come on! Terrible New UI decision
I'm not sure who Microsoftoutlook decided to place the number of unread messages right next to the folder name, but they clearly don't use Outlook with multiple email addresses and multiple subfolders taking automatically filed emails. It is now so much more effort to quick scan the folders for unread email. Please have a word with yourself! Rant over :-) Please can you make the position an option. While you are at it, please add font size and colour options for all folders with options to change when containing new email. Thanks!
New Outlook for Macintosh Calendar Crashing
I've received word from no less than a dozen of my clients that they are getting crashes similar to the following whenever they start to view calendars (either their own or other shared calendars): Error Signature: Exception: EXC_CRASH (SIGTRAP) ExceptionEnumString: 50331648 Exception Code: 0x00000001 (0x0000000000000000) Date/Time: 2026-06-02 17:52:42 +0000 Application Name: Microsoft Outlook Application Bundle ID: com.microsoft.Outlook Application Signature: OPIM Application Bitness: x64 Application Version: 16.109.3.26053122 Crashed Module Name: merp Crashed Module Version: 16.109.26053122 Crashed Module Offset: 0x0000000000004928 Blame Module Name: OlkCalendarUIKit Blame Module Version: 16.109.26053122 UnsymbolicatedChecksum: 90784EBBB8F0F0756139A717DBDA8150 Blame Module Offset: 0x000000000003aff0 StackHash: df444cd1c97e732e_50331648_main_phx Application LCID: 1033 Extra app info: Reg=en Loc=0x0409 Build Type: Release Crashed thread Stack Pointer: 0x_000000016dc5cb70 Crashed thread: 0 MacOS is up to date, and this all appears to have started after Office for Mac was updated on or after May 26's update.

What is the best way to conduct surveys through Outlook?
We want our employees to receive regular employee engagement surveys through Outlook. What would be the best way to set up this automation? We would also like to build these surveys in a detailed manner with enps and rating questions, and would like to be able to analyze results in detail. Any recommendations?Outlook for Mac missing ToDo
Since a recent update, our Mac clients don't have any way to view ToDo or Tasks in the New Outlook. The tasks don't show in the My Day/Task pane, nor do we have a ToDo Icon ion the left sidebar like users of New Outlook on Windows do. Accessing OWA is now the only way for users to see tasks/flagged emails, but very much not the preferred solution since there IS a desktop client which should do that. Microsoft® Outlook for Mac Version 16.105 (26011018) This is a serious usability issue, is this really a design decision or some sort of an issue?
