Re: Outlook on the web -- Search tools appear whether I want them or not!
The Search Ribbon tab is indeed rolling out to Outlook on the Web for Business/Enterprise/Education. As far as I know, it is not yet rolling out to (a large part of) Outlook.com accounts. This experience makes it more in line with how it works in Classic Outlook and now New Outlook as well. At the moment, it is indeed not configurable, and you're taken to the Search tab whether you like it or not. Note however that any keyboard shortcuts still work and that the right click menu on an email is pretty much the same as the Home tab for all major actions. This might be an alternative to you instead of switching to the Home tab. To see available keyboard shortcuts, press the question mark key on your keyboard. You can provide feedback about this feature change and suggest improvements by using the Feedback button on the Help tab.11Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlook for Mac 2021 reading pane
Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and logged it as a bug. You can roll back to the release from October 20th until they released a version which includes a fix. You can obtain the download for the October 20th release here; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac57Views0likes1CommentRe: Outlook 365 (classic) freezes syncing subscribed folders via IMAP
Since when are you experiencing this issue? When did it work correctly the last time? Which add-ins do you have installed? Disable the non-default ones (especially any security suite which integrates itself with Outlook) and try again. See; Enable/Disable add-ins - Robert 365 Note that you are using an almost month-old Current Channel (Preview) release. There have been 5 new releases since then. Update to the latest build and see if you can still reproduce the issue. Also try using the non-Preview build and verify whether the issue goes away then. Things breaking or not working as expected can happen more frequently when using the Preview/Beta releases.175Views0likes1CommentRe: issue with user outlook inbox
Since both default names already exist, using /resetfoldernames may not give the expected results. Try using /resetfolders instead. Another way to go would be to rename the non-default folder and then use /resetfoldernames Make sure that when you perform this, your Office UI language is set to the language that you want to use for your folders. Yet another way to go would be to rename the folders via Outlook on the Web. For additional instructions, screenshots and other workarounds see; Rename the default folders of a mailbox - Robert 36543Views1like2CommentsRe: Can I get emails from another server forwarded to my outlook account?
Comcast email accounts are hosted on Xfinity. You can configure a forwarder via their web interface. After confirming that the forwarding works, make sure you disable the option "Save a copy of forwarded emails" to prevent your Comcast mailbox from filling up. See; Auto Forward an email — Xfinity Email help - Xfinity Support This obviously creates a little risk in case the forwarded emails are being dropped for some reason in the future. Therefor, you may want to check whether forwarded emails are being moved to the Trash folder in Xfinity. If so, you could still recover them within 14 days.32Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlook 365 - search broken for one user
The Current Folder and Current Mailbox search scope use Server Assisted Search whereas the All Outlook Items search scope use Windows Desktop Search. In other words, the issue is with the online index and not the local index so switching a computer is never going to solve it. Use Get-MailboxStatistics for the mailbox and look at the BigFunnelMessageCount, BigFunnelIndexedCount, BigFunnelPartiallyIndexedCount, BigFunnelStaleCount and BigFunnelCorruptedCount properties. In general; BigFunnelIndexedCount + BigFunnelPartiallyIndexedCount + BigFunnelStaleCount = BigFunnelMessageCount BigFunnelCorruptedCount should be 0 Any issue with this for an on-premises mailbox can usually be solve by using New-MoveRequest. When you are having issues with a mailbox in Exchange Online, you should open a support ticket via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.27Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Outlook not allowing moving mails from Gmail to other folders on exchange folders
New Outlook supports this as well, but for corporate Exchange Online accounts this must be enabled first via a OWA Mailbox Policy. Your Exchange admin can allow this by modifying the policy which applies to your mailbox in the following way; Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled $true117Views0likes1CommentRe: Archiving - Goes to Deleted in "Recover items recently removed from this folder"
When you use AutoArchive, the emails are moved out of your mailbox and into a separate pst-file. This moving process is considered a "permanent delete" for the mailbox that you are moving the messages out of. AutoArchive mimics the folder structure of your mailbox when moving the messages. When you open the pst-file containing your archived items (if not mapped already within Outlook, use; File-> Open & Export-> Open Outlook Data File), you'll find archived messages from your Sent Items folder within the Sent Items folder of the pst-file.47Views0likes0CommentsRe: Questions on contact profiles
You are comparing the Contacts experience of Classic Outlook with New Outlook here, right? That indeed is significantly different and more limited in New Outlook and not fully fleshed out yet. You can make feature suggestions within New Outlook via; Help-> Feedback-> Make a suggestion You can still continue to use Classic Outlook while New Outlook is under development. Classic Outlook will be supported until at least 2029.12Views0likes0CommentsRe: Creating PST files and moving emails to PST files in Outlook 365
That is turned off by default for Business accounts. Your admin can enable this via; Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled $true Exporting to pst-files is already available in preview and is rolling out to GA next month; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=48573880Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Outlook Move Email GPO
Policies for New Outlook and Outlook on the Web are not controlled via GPO templates but via OWA Mailbox Policies. Theses can be controlled by Exchange Admins via the Set-OwaMailboxPolicy PowerShell cmdlet. In this case, the ability to allow messages to be moved or copied between external accounts is controlled via the ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled parameter194Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlook Search Folder for External Senders
You can basically do the reverse of this; Search Folder or Conditional Formatting for internal company emails - Robert 365 Instead of specifying the From field on the Messages tab, select the field on the Advanced tab so that you can use the "does not contain" condition. This will filter out the internal emails, thus what is left will be the external emails 😉 Depending on how you've configured your email routing between on-prem, cloud and other mailing instances that you are using, you could also filter based on several message headers. You may need to find out first which will apply to your organization (one or more could apply); X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Anonymous X-MS-Exchange-CrossTenant-AuthAs: Anonymous X-MS-Exchange-CrossTenant-FromEntityHeader: Internet Internal messages would have AuthAs values of "Internal" and FromEntityHeader of "HybridOnPrem" or "Hosted". Note that this only applies to Classic Outlook. New Outlook and Outlook on the Web will get more advanced Search Folder support (on a not yet determined date) in the future.85Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlook support for conversation view for third-party email accounts is gone
Conversation View is still there in Classic Outlook and there are no plans to remove it either for any account type (except 3rd party Account Connectors like Kerio, but then it is up to that add-in to implement it, as has always been the case). Which mail account type are you using? POP3, IMAP, Exchange, other...? The most common reason for the Conversation View not being available is that you have a (custom) View selected which doesn't support it. Tried resetting the View already and made sure it is arranged by Date?52Views0likes0CommentsRe: Concern Regarding "Automatically Deleted Without Read" Notifications
The notification can't actually determine whether or not the message was read. It only means that the message was in an unread status at the time it got deleted. There can be many reasons for this. Many people don't always mark all their items as read (automatically or manually), especially when they "read it and delete it". The applications could also have been moved in bulk to another mailbox, which constitutes a delete for the mailbox it was received it. Yet another reason could be that the email was picked up by an automation system which processed the email within their HR system and then deleted the original email after processing it. But if it is really important to you and really want a specific job; Call the company 😉1KViews1like0CommentsRe: 3rd party login with Paradox alarm system
dunariaszto It depends on how and where you've configured the email settings. As of September, Basic Authentication is no longer supported for SMTP sending via the Outlook.com servers. Check whether your email notification system has an update and/or provides OAuth 2.0 authentication support already. If not, you either need to change the way that you send out email notifications or use an SMTP server which supports Basic Authentication. Note that many ISPs also provide SMTP support, sometimes even without authentication, as long as you are on their network.151Views0likes0Comments
