Is there a way to get structured 1:1 meeting agendas in Outlook/Teams?
I manage a team of 8 and I do weekly 1:1s with each of them. Right now we use a shared OneNote for agendas but its getting messy. Notes from previous meetings get lost, action items dont carry over, and half my directs forget to add their topics before the meeting. Somebody at another company told me they use a dedicated tool for this but I really dont want yet another app. Is there anything that works within the Teams/Outlook ecosystem for structured recurring 1:1 meetings?
Forgotten email password request being seen coming from a different email account
When at http://account.microsoft.com/ to reset a forgotten password for a Microsoft Exchange account with a registered domain email account the code being sent is being seen as a forgotten password reset request for my http://hotmail.com/ email address. Why is that and how can I have my forgotten password request be seen coming from my domain email account?
Only show unanswered emails / Hide replied emails
I’m trying to set up Outlook so that my Inbox only shows emails that I have not replied to yet. What I would like is this: When I receive an email, it should appear in my Inbox as usual. But once I reply to that email, I want it to automatically disappear from my Inbox view. I do not want the email to be deleted or archived. I only want it to be hidden from this specific Inbox view. This way i can keep a clear overview of what needs answering. So I am not looking for an “unread emails” filter. I specifically want to show unreplied emails. I had this working before and it was fantastic for keeping my Inbox organized. My Inbox basically worked as a list of emails I still needed to respond to. Unfortunately, it recently stopped working, and I cannot figure out how to set it up again. Does anyone know how to recreate this setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
cannot recover a hotmail email account
Perhaps this old account was blocked as I tried to access it connected to a VPN. I haven't succeeded to recover it as I can't answer the follwing questions below : 1- For these questions you might want to ask for help from family, friends, or business contacts to confirm their email addresses and tell you the subject lines of emails you've sent them. >>>>>> I DO NOT USE THE ACCOUNT I WANT TO RECOVER FREQUENTLY SO HOW CAN I ASK HELP OF PEOPLE ?? ?? i DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS THE LAST TIME I SENT AN EMAIL FROM THIS ACCOUNT !??? 2- Email addresses of contacts you've recently sent emails to (one per text box) HOW THE HELL SHOULD I REMEMBER ?? 3- Exact subject lines of your recently sent emails (one per text box) WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?? IF I CANNOT REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS THE LAST TIME I SENT OR RECEIVED A MESSAGE , HOW SHOULD I REMEMBER THE EXACT LINES OR SUBJECT OF THE MESSAGES ? The answer sent to another email I informed the system was : Your account recovery request for xxxx*email address removed for privacy reasons : We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account xxxx*email address removed for privacy reasons. Unfortunately, we have determined that the information you provided was not sufficient for us to validate your account ownership. .... How the hell I will recover the account if I cannot answer those stupid questions ?? I have the password , this should be proof enough I own the bloody account. What to do now ?
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!
Anyone else hate the New Desktop Outlook?.
Hello people I was wondering if anyone else Hated the Desktop version of Outlook?. To me its slower and unresponsive compared to previous versions. Even Windows Mail was faster and the brings up old email accounts that you deleted and no longer use long ago. It seems while good intentions this one has not been tested properly. Just shoved out the door. And lastly trying to find Emails that your sent or received is another nightmare. You have to restart twice before it finally decides oh look there emails.Unable to print e-mails in outlook.cloud.microsoft web site.
Clicking on print does nothing. Toolbar's icon gr(a/e)ys out after pressing it. Have to use Chrome's file menu's print, but that's not a printer friendly format. Is anyone else having this problem too today? This is in updated Chrome in an updated macOS Sequoia v15.7.7 in an old 13" 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. I tried rebooting, clearing caches, and removing uBlock Origin. None of those helped. Did MS break it? It was fine last week before the weekend. Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
New Outlook left navigation bar
Is it possible that Microsoft persistently ignores the requests of its customers to remove/hide the left navigation bar from the screen of the new Outlook? Recently, you configured it so that when the screen is reduced, the navigation pane—which is actually needed—disappears. Once again, you ignored the left navigation bar, which is used extremely rarely and absolutely does not belong there. People who use 13‑inch screens do not have enough space for this imposed bar. I simply do not understand such a careless and inconsiderate approach on Microsoft’s part. WHY don’t you listen to your customers? Why do you deliberately harass them with various experiments and solutions that nobody wants?
Attachments hidden on signed emails. smime.p7m shows instead
When I received signed emails with attachments I see the following: - Green box icon showing email is signed in message list - No paperclip in message list indicating there are attachments - smime.p7m file shows as attachment in preview pane - no "real" attachments shown If I double-click on message to open in a separate window the attachments appear in the email and smime.p7m is no longer shown in list. Also, the preview pane usually now shows the attachments. I reported this many months ago and it seem to be fixed for one release and then it came back. The contact support option is strangely not available in the Help menu, so I can't report it again. I have tried to fix the menu issue also. DavidOutlook Organization Policies
I cannot find ANYWHERE the ability to assign properties to an email download. I only recently began receiving this pop-up message when I click on a hyperlink in an email: "Your organization's policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info, please contact your help desk." HELP! I have spent HOURS with Geek Squad as well as Go Daddy reps and they cannot fix this. We identified this ONLY happens on my PC's Outlook App. I can pull hyperlinks from the direct-url version of Outlook. I have uninstalled and re-installed Microsoft 365 to try to fix this app. I have run 'repair' as well. Nothing has helped. Can you?Outllook does not receive read gmail.
I've been using Outlook 10 for years withouit this problem, but just opened a 365 account using Outlook classic. I've tried everything Google has to offer but can't fix the problem. Everything works fine but once I read a gmail on my phone or browser it will not be recieved by Outlook.
"You've tried too many times to sign in with incorrect account or password"
Over the last 2 weeks or so, I have been receiving this message when I log into my email account. I haven't been logging in with the wrong information - I have been very careful. The message appears when I sign in via my lap-top and my mobile phone. I have even changed my password and cleared cache. It is causing me significant problems. What is the solution, other than waiting 24-48hrs for it to rectify itself? Thank you.Bug! "Default duration for new appointments and meetings"
Hello Everyone! I have noticed a weird behavior in outlook when I tried changing the default time for outlook meetings. I wanted to set the default time as 45 minutes. It worked when I tried creating meeting from "new items>meeting": When I tried creating meeting from Calendar>new meeting, The changed time doesn't appear: Same is the behavior when we double click on calendar to create meeting. Is this a Bug?'Request Responses' toggled off but still asking for responses
Hi all - we put a lot of events into our Outlook calendar, for which we do not want a response. They are to remind the business that they are happening. In old Outlook, we just toggled off 'request responses', and then the notification went into people's inboxes, but they could delete it, and the event would appear in their calendar. This feature to toggle off responses is still there in Outlook BUT when the notification arrives in people's inbox, it is still requesting responses - although if they do respond, the sender does not get a notification of how they responded. BUT this isn't what we want!! We do not want to waste everyone's time answering yes or no to events that are just advisory. Why is this not working properly??!Synchronization issue in New Outlook for Mac – ״Failed to refresh subscriptions.״
Hello, I am using Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online) on Mac, running macOS 26.1 (Tahoe). My Outlook client is: Outlook for Mac Version 16.103.3 (25113013), with a Microsoft 365 Subscription license. Since yesterday morning, in the New Outlook interface, my inbox has suddenly appeared empty, and I constantly receive the following error message: “Failed to refresh subscriptions.” It’s important to note: In Legacy Outlook, everything works perfectly. The web version and the Outlook app on my mobile phone also work well. The issue persists regardless of the network I am on (home, office, cellular, etc.). Troubleshooting steps I already tried: • Updating Outlook to the latest version • Removing and re‑adding the account • Clearing cache and preferences • Formatting my Mac and reinstalling everything from scratch Unfortunately, none of these steps has resolved the issue. Is this a known bug, and is there a recommended workaround or an upcoming fix? Appreciate assistance on that issue.Windows Outlook Mail
For the last 2 weeks, my Windows Outlook mail suddenly stopped loading on my Windows 10 computer. A few days ago I was able to re-install it and it worked well up until the morning of May 18, 2026 but when I tried to access it in the evening it would not load again. I downloaded the app from the Microsoft store but again, it will not load. Is Microsoft disabling Outlook for users who have not yet transitioned to Windows 11? I am in a desperate situation because I rely on my saved emails and am expecting some important emails.Outlook Android shows different date on shared recurring appointments
My wife and I share our hotmail calendars with each other For recurring appointments that she creates only, on any Android device using the Outlook app, the appointment is always 1 day later. It is consistent The time is correct so it doesn't seem to be a timezone issue. In Windows settings, Android settings, and outlook.com settings the time zone is Sydney AEST I've resynced the android apps. But tbh it has affected me for years, and has followed me across devices Any ideas? Pixel Outlook v5.2618.2 Samsung Outlook v5.2618.2 ty!
OWA spell checks part of the word
Something strange happened as I was typing an email today. I misspelled "specific" so I quickly fixed it using the spell checker. Then, it underlined the "cifi" part of the word "specific" suggesting spelling corrections as seen in the screenshot. There is no space in the word so I don't know why it focused on the part of the word (maybe because of the previous correction?). Do you know if this is an Outlook bug or an Edge bug? Not sure which spell checker is acting in OWA honestly.Unable to Access Scheduling Poll Options
