Android Outlook using outlook proxy email address for primary account, can't receive emails

omnipheasant — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:11:00 GMT

Longtime, fairly contented user of Outlook in Microsoft 365 here.

Yesterday I tried to set up Outlook on my Samsung phone. I was not able to start by incorporating my primary email account, based at my ISP, even though Outlook spotted that account and offered to include it. (I was confused about the proper IMAP port number.) I then took the route of bringing in a gmail account used as a secondary. That worked well. However, Microsoft required me to set up an outlook.com email. Now my phone Outlook nominally has my ISP account as primary, but when I begin a new message, it lists my outlook.com address and my gmail address as sending options, not my ISP address. Emails I send from the account show as having been sent from the outlook.com account -- mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons --, although when I reply to them, my correct ISP address shows up as the prospective recipient in the email draft.

I might be able to put up with this -- not sure about people I correspond with, however -- but the ISP account on my phone outlook is not receiving any emails. (Oddly, there is one email from 2015 from the Outlook.com team about getting started.) I can't find a way to adjust what I assume might be incorrect settings for the ISP server. I'm wondering if I should uninstall the current phone Outlook and try again.

A side question: what is the purpose of requiring me to set up an outlook.com email?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Intermittent connection error with an IMAP mailbox

TLRS-Sandwich — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:17:27 GMT

One of our customers is having an issue with new Outlook where after we set up their email as IMAP (which we host), after a while Outlook would no longer recognize the password. When they went into Settings, it showed a message says "Sign-in is required. Click Sign in to resolve." The customer did that, and the sign in failed, so they closed new Outlook and did something else for a while we investigated.

However, the user came back to the computer a little later, opened Outlook on a lark, and everything was back to normal and they could see all their email again.

Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing that? The customer forwarded screenshots of the information they got when they clicked "Troubleshooting Details", but I don't know how helpful that will be for y'all.

Outlook for Mac 16.113 Search not functioning in Legacy View

mikemargolis — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:06:32 GMT

Title says it all.

I have reindexed Spotlight, I have reverted backwards to .112 and .111 and no matter what I do, I can not get the search function to work again in Legacy view.

Search works in the "new" Outlook for Mac, but not in Legacy, which I greatly prefer.

Please help me, someone! I knew there were discussions about .112 search not working, and XML messages, but I haven't found this issue posted anywhere.

Feature request: meeting cancellation by organizer in M365 Copilot

fschmid — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:59:09 GMT

During a recent usage of M365 Copilot, I identified a capability gap that significantly limits calendar-related automation.

Current situation Copilot can:

find meetings in my calendar,
identify meetings where I am the organizer,
interactively ask which meetings should be processed.

However, Copilot is currently not able to cancel organizer-owned Outlook meetings and send cancellation notifications, although this is a natural next step in the workflow.

Requested capability

Cancel individual meetings organized by the user
Cancel recurring meetings or selected instances
Send a custom cancellation message to attendees
Support bulk processing (e.g. vacation preparation)

Example use case Before a planned absence, a user asks Copilot:

Find all meetings during my vacation.
Show only meetings where I am the organizer.
Ask me for each meeting whether it should be cancelled.
Cancel the selected meetings and send a predefined message such as: "Florian planned absent."

This would be a valuable productivity enhancement for Outlook and Copilot users who manage large numbers of meetings.

Could you please advise whether this capability is already planned, whether a feedback channel exists, or which product team would be the appropriate owner for this request?

Outlook for Mac 16.113 Search not functioning in Legacy View

I promise, I am NOT going to use the new view, it is hideous.

Please help me, someone! I knew there were discussions about .112 search not working, and XML messages, but I haven't found this issue posted anywhere.

Doesn't anyone actually test these releases before they send them out? :)

User can't see some emails after loading PST

JMENDEZ_42 — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 18:24:22 GMT

Recently I helped a user migrate from an IMAP mail to Outlook. I downloaded the PST file from the old IMAP account and loaded the file into his new account, all in Classic Outlook as this user refuses to use the new Outlook.

However, during the load of old mail he would stop receiving any new mail. To fix this I created a new profile and that did allow new mail to arrive, however, the mail from the backup didn’t show.

I then loaded the backup into the new Outlook and it only loaded mail up to 2022. After this, we loaded the PST into Outlook Classic on a different device as to not disrupt workflow, but that also didn’t solve the issue.

I loaded the PST file into a testing account, and it did load all the files, from 2020 to the date the file was created.

How to set your display name in the New Outlook?

TrienChill — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 03:06:04 GMT

In Outlook Classic (or Legacy), I could easily set my display name by going to: File -> Account Settings -> Account Name and Sync Settings -> Your Name

When configured this way, the emails I sent would display my name, followed by my email address in parentheses. This worked flawlessly for both my work and personal email accounts.

However, when using the New Outlook, the emails I send only show my email address. My name is no longer displayed as the sender.

Is there any way to make the New Outlook send emails with my name displayed as the Classic version does? Any help or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Formatting wont transfer from Excel to Outlook

cobjeog — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:24:35 GMT

The last 2 or 3 days every time I copy and paste from Excel into Outlook it drops all of the formatting. I've adjusted my settings to keep formatting, tried manually telling it to keep the formatting. It simply wont. I've googled and searched the Microsoft website to no avail.

Lost Messages from GMAIL with POP

Coach300 — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:30:41 GMT

I hope this is the community I can get feedback from technical support individuals. My Outlook 2016 is connecting to the GMAIL server and is configured properly. It has been downloading all my messages until a few days and weeks ago. Now it seems very selective and I have no clue about its behavior. When I launch it, it connects with POP and tells me it is downloading 70+ or 50+ messages but only a handful appear in my Inbox. I have searched high and low for the remainder, Junk, Deleted et al. Nothing. Where could these messages be located? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.

Outlook doesn't show the picture correctly in mail body, AGAIN

Phishing emails appearing in recents

cloud111 — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:35:34 GMT

Hello, recently my email has been listed as breached, and they tried accessing my email address and other apps. I have changed all my passwords and 2 factors. I still get random notifications of hackers attempting access of something like today. When i was checking my emails for it, I noticed when I clicked the search bar in Outlook it popped up with these phishing emails in my "recents". There is no history associated with them, no emails sent/received. Just wondering what might cause these to pop up, and if my email could be compromised. They popped up at the top in "All" and also in the "People", as if they're very recent.

Outlook.de DKIM and DMARC records broken

MartinTe — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:30:13 GMT

Outbound mail from outlook.de carries a DKIM-Signature with d=OUTLOOK.DE; s=selector1, but the corresponding DNS TXT record at selector1._domainkey.outlook.de does not exist.

This causes receiving servers to report dkim=permerror (no key for signature).

To reproduce:

Send a mail from any @outlook.de account
Check the DKIM-Signature header — it references selector1
Run: dig TXT selector1._domainkey.outlook.de — no record returned

The domain outlook.de also has no DMARC record published (dmarc=none).

Some header information:

Received: by 2002:a05:6a11:e41c:b0:73b:6833:703f with SMTP id em28csp1732536pxc; Tue, 21 Jul 2026 07:23:10 -0700 (PDT)
[...]
ARC-Authentication-Results: i=2; mx.google.com; dkim=permerror (no key for signature) header.i=@OUTLOOK.DE header.s=selector1 header.b=mWWTJtqO; arc=pass (i=1); spf=pass (google.com: domain of email address removed for privacy reasons designates 2a01:111:f403:d20f::3 as permitted sender)
[...]

I leave out DNS this time as the discussion was marked as spam, but you can easily check it yourself:

dig TXT selector1._domainkey.outlook.de

and

dig TXT _dmarc.outlook.de

return no entries as all.

So obviously the DNS records are not published. This leads to bad email reputation - so emails are either in SPAM folders or get rejected completely.

Can someone from MS look into this and fix it. This is at least the case since June 2026 - see also Patzt Microsoft bei DKIM für Outlook.de? (which is in German unfortunately) - but that is the exact issue.

Copilot in new Outlook doesnt copy full text

jakub1 — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:26:16 GMT

Good Day.

When I generate message in Copilot and after that I copy text (by clicking the Copy button).

It doesn't copy the entire text, it omits the greeting and thanks. Why can't it copy the entire content?

First picture - generated text, second picture - when I press CTRL+C and after that CTRL+V, it makes copy only text in red rectangle, without greeting and thanks.

Thank you for help forward.

Outlook icon in taskbar can start two outlook.exe processes

GaryGoGoGo — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:53:36 GMT

When the startup icon for Outlook Classic is pinned to the taskbar (laptop, Windows 11), a double-click can start two Outlook processes. I have been unable to convince my lovely wife that a taskbar icon should be clicked only once, but her trigger finger is too itchy. So we unpinned the icon from her taskbar and now she starts Outlook from a desktop shortcut (which is double-clicked).

The problem:

When Outlook is not running and the taskbar icon is clicked, it begins to start Outlook. But if the user double-clicks very quickly, the first process is not yet exposed and a second process starts. The window opens for the first process, and no window opens for the second process. Then, when the Outlook window is closed, it only exits the first process, and the second process is still active with no window. Later, the user clicks the taskbar icon to start Outlook again (because no window is visible), but no window will open (because a process is already active). The workaround is to open task manager and kill the bogus process (or logout or reboot), but my lovely wife doesn't know what the task manager is, so she asks me. Which is fine, I am happy to be my wife's workaround, but the real problem is that Windows is starting two Outlook processes.

In some cases this causes problems with IMAP synchronization, and then my wife doesn't realize that a sent email is stuck in the outbox forever, waiting for a sync that never happens. In fact, my wife is a pretty capable Outlook user, but not when Windows can't manage M365 applications that should not be running twice.

Search Folder Creation Issue

Rhystp — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 21:41:03 GMT

I've been using the new version of Outlook for around a year and a half without any issues. However, today I've noticed that I can no longer create Search Folders that filter emails by category.

When I go through the process, I can name the Search Folder and choose the folder type without any problems. The issue occurs when I try to select the email categories. The category list appears, but clicking on a category doesn't actually select it. Because of this, I get the message "Select at least one category", even though I've clicked on one.

This happens in both the desktop app and Outlook on the web, so it doesn't seem to be specific to my laptop.

Is anyone else aware of this issue, and if so are there any workarounds?
