I got a new computer and signed into my google linked outlook account but my calendar events are gone. How do you fix this? I still have my old computer and tried exporting the calendar but didn't work.Anonymous238Dec 19, 2024Copper Contributor15Views0likes1CommentSOLUTION: New Outlook removed "switch back to old outlook" button.
This is for anyone else who no longer sees the button to switch back to the old outlook. I have included step by step photos to get back to the old outlook! First click "Help" at the top left. Below "Help" should bring up another menu, now select "Feedback". Now look to the very right and you should see the option to select a feedback option, select "Report a problem". Now you should see a box where you can type what the problem is, make sure to clearly mention that you cannot switch back to the old outlook, the button is missing and you want to switch back to the old outlook, this is important because when you submit this answer it will scan your message and generate possible solutions. Once you've filled out the box with your problem, scroll down, click yes or no on both options (it doesn't matter what you choose but you need to select an answer for both), then click "Submit" at the bottom. It will diagnose the problem and match you up with one or more possible solutions, make sure you see this one below that says "toggling out of the new outlook for windows preview", DO NOT CLICK "Yes" AT THE BOTTOM or it will end the feedback and assume you got your answer and you will need to restart this process. Instead you need to click on the arrow that is circled in this picture. Freedom awaits, now click on "Do it for me" and it will automatically take you back to the old outlook. Congratulations! You've graduated from this circus of chaos and confusion.Farewell, and may your future endeavors be as comforting and delightful as a slice of warm, homemade buttered bread.troyb16Dec 18, 2024Copper Contributor27KViews1like28CommentsCalendar shared, person able to edit not just view despite settings
I added an event to my calendar from a different email account and added my primary account as a person/invite. My primary account is shared with someone but as view only permissions. They were able to accept the invite sent to MY primary account? Why do they have access to this when they are set as view only?LKPDec 18, 2024Copper Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsMail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024

After someone said they had emailed me, and I couldn't see the email, I resent the email by clicking reply on my sent email, and their email response came up sitting before my response. But it could not be seen in the Inbox. It happened again today, only this time I noticed I had received an email OK from the same person about a different subject. Other emails are coming through from other people and I haven't identified any other missing emails.ScottG2484Dec 18, 2024Copper Contributor9Views0likes0CommentsPublic Folders in New Outlook
This is a huge Microsoft Mistake in the New Outlook. The New Outlook is designed to not allow access to all Public Folders! I received the following response from Technical Support after several weeks of telling them about the problem and after they researched the issue, they responded: "We did the test and investigation on our test machine and found that 'All Public folders' can't be accessed at once like in Classic Outlook.In New Outlook each Public folder has to be added manually for Windows and it is by internal design." I'm not sure who is leading the design team, but this is a huge mistake.Microsoft setup Public folders to allow a company to share project related email with staff. In our public folders, we have a large number projects and folders in Public Folders. This has been available since at least before 2011. I am sure we are not alone. It currently works perfectly. Why would Microsoft arbitrarily decide to not support a system that works well as it is???? If they are worried about the size of the database, allow users to create an online archive as you do with personal email? Other forum members, please let Microsoft know this is not acceptable.SolvedArchitectChuckDec 17, 2024Brass Contributor15KViews1like13CommentsRecovery my mail

In the old Outlook I could drag Word, Excel, JPG, PDF files to a specifik folder under In-box and release. Then the file would be saved here. I can't do this in my 365. Do I need some kind of upgrade to be able to do this or is it just some kind of settings I need to change?Steven47Dec 17, 2024Copper Contributor36Views0likes1CommentWorkaround: How to 'Delete A Category' in the People tab in New Outlook
Current State: Currently, you can create and assign a category to a contact card. However, you can not easily delete the actual Category. Background Info:The categories for contacts in New Outlook are separate from the Inbox and Calendar categories. The Delete a category icon in the People Tab appears to have been missed. Workaround Solution: I had to remove the category from each contact by pressing the X by the category. Then, I closed and reopened New Outlook, and the category was no longer in the left navigation in the People tab. More Information:I know Microsoft is working on improvements for Contacts. I have reported this issue. If you find this information helpful, please mark it as best response. /Teresa #traccreations4e 02/05/20249.8KViews4likes16Comments
