Re: Outlook 2021 Spell check not working
Haven't updated in a while, but this past week or so my emails are showing not read even after opening the message, responding to the message, or using a link from the message, and then closing what I worked on. I look at the email pane and it is still there as if I never opened it. Not a huge deal, but it is on top of multiple issues I've had with Outlook that Microsoft has shown zero interest in fixing for over a year and a half now.18 Months of Bad Outlook
As the subject states, As of September (next week), I will have been dealing with bad Outlook for 18 months. The biggest issue is my Junk folder has been made useless. It is useless as a Junk folder because I've had some legitimate mail go to it, I've had ALL legitimate mail go to it, and now I have many emails going to it that should not be. The ALL legitimate mail going to my Junk folder was due to the one time I got a hold of someone representing Microsoft (Around May of 2023), who instructed me to change settings, start and restart multiple times, reset settings, etc., etc. Everything was shut down for the night, and the next morning when powering up and opening Outlook, I found EVERY email in the Junk folder. I spent almost 3 hours trying to undo what the rep had me change, and now I am at the point to where no matter how many emails are in my Junk folder, I have to verify they are Junk, because many LEGITIMATE emails are still going to Junk. I've attached the latest of Microsoft's genius moves, their own email to me regarding Defender's results in the Junk folder in the last 30 minutes or so.Multiple Emails Sent ot Junk the Same Day They Were Selected Not To
February 23, 2024, and I've lost count of the problems with Outlook. I have been receiving email from a new sender over the past two days. I specifically selected to never send these emails to Junk after receiving the first email. Just this morning, I have received two emails from this new sender, and even though I have selected, more than once, to never send them to Junk, both of them have gone to my Junk folder. I was on another board over the past couple of months where I was messaging about the initial problem that started before last summer (2023) of certain emails being sent to Junk. After working with an online chat rep, where he sent instructions and links to reset, add, delete and restart over a 2 hour period, ALL of my emails, every...single...email, was being sent to my Junk folder. I then spent the next morning trying to undo what this rep had done, but it never got back to "normal". And after all of this time, there are still multiple emails that I have had as safe senders (banks, insurance company, streaming, etc.) that are sent to my Junk folder. So, I have to read through EVERY SINGLE EMAIL in my Junk folder to make sure there aren't any legitimate emails in there. Which defeats the purpose of having a Junk folder in the first place. Microsoft is really going down hill fast, like most other corporations in this country.Re: Outlook 2021 Spell check not working
Diane_Poremsky_MVP Hi Diane, Thank you, I misunderstood the question then. I have been dealing with Outlook issues this week and was looking for answers regarding spell check while typing reply email messages. I thought this was the same thing, but apparently there are several options when dealing with Outlook (web based, app and Office).Re: Outlook 2021 Spell check not working
Autistic_EwokMy question is when setting up my Microsoft profile just now to be able to reply to the question here, why is Microsoft asking to enter my work email if I am a 365 user? That isn't the only option, a work email, so why are they specifically asking for only a work email? I do not have a work email (retired), but I am a 365 user. As for the Outlook spell check feature, very surprising to see all of the experts talking about all of the options for spell check in Outlook, because this is directly from Outlook: "Although Outlook.com does not have a spell check function, many web browsers automatically check your spelling, including Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10 and later versions, and current versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Check the options for your web browser to learn more about how to check spelling."
