Re: Copying OneNote Files from/to OneDrive and SharePoint
It's not recommended by Microsoft but I've copied OneNote files from OneDrive to SharePoint, went to the SharePoint folder, renamed the OneNote file, clicked on the newly copied newly renamed OneNote file and it opened in OneNote for the Web. Then I clicked on "Editing" in the upper right, then clicked on "Open in Desktop App" and it synced with and made it available in the Desktop App. As I mentioned, it's not recommended by Microsoft, but I haven't had any issues.Re: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
You can export your "active" PST into an "archive" PST and clean up your active PST. An easy way to get rid of large emails in your active PST is to search for emails with attachments. As long as Outlook still allows PST, you'll be able to open any of the active or archive PSTs you create. To export go to File/Open&Export/Import-Export/Export to a file/Outlook Data File (.pst)/ Click on the very top folder in the "folder list to export from." Don't forget to check "Include Subfolders".Re: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
Hi Teresa_Cyrus , Do you know if managerial decision makers in the New Outlook development team monitor this thread? If not, do you know how we, as a community, can encourage them to do that? Thanks much, JayFMSTechCommRe: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
One of the greatest features of Outlook Desktop from Office365 is that you can open an email, update the subject line, close the email with the "X", and click save. We've all gotten emails from people who reply to old threads to send you a new email where the subject has nothing to do with the content of the new email. We've also gotten emails from people who type a subject of "Question" or "Update", with no context. For compliance searches and email organizing, being able to edit Subject Lines is vital. I don't know if the New Outlook for Windows allows this because I'm afraid to install it but, if it's not able, it's a deal killer.Re: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
There is an error in a Microsoft instruction page discussing how to disable the "Try New Outlook" Toggle. The link is: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/outlook-on-the-web/enable-disable-employee-access-new-outlook#us-the-registry-to-enable-or-disable-the-new-outlook-toggle-in-outlook-desktop and the error is in the Registry Dword. It says to set it to 1 to enable the toggle and to 0 to enable it. That is backwards. It must be set to 1 to disable the "Try New Outlook" toggle in Outlook Desktop. You also have to reboot after you change a registry setting. There is a Message Center Notification referencing the erroneous web page above: https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/home?ref=MessageCenter/:/messages/MC676298 These are the entries on the page that show the dWord values are backwards: Copy the one of the following text blocks into Notepad: Enable the New Outlook toggle in Outlook Desktop: This value shows the Try the new Outlook" toggle in Outlook Desktop, if it's available in your update channel: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General] "HideNewOutlookToggle"=dword:00000001 Disable the New Outlook toggle in Outlook Desktop: This value hides the Try the new Outlook" toggle in Outlook Desktop: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General] "HideNewOutlookToggle"=dword:00000000 Save the file as .reg in a location that's easy to find. For example: C:\Data\Disable New Outlook toggle in Outlook Desktop.reg or C:\Data\Enable New Outlook toggle in Outlook Desktop.reg. Run the .reg file and select Yes in the confirmation dialog that appears.Re: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
aasherTeresa_Cyrus, I was able to archive all of my Tasks data by exporting them to a .CSV file. At some point it may truncate the notes field, but I have a task with 1,093 characters and it exported all of the field.Re: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
Hi Teresa_Cyrus , Thanks very much for your quick reply, especially clarifying that New and Classic Outlook won't play nicely together. I'm very dependent on lots of esoteric features of Classic Outlook, including Tasks functionality. (Yes, Outlook and I go way back to the late 1990s ;-0). Will New Outlook for Windows be replacing Classic Outlook? If so, do you know if the Tasks functionality will be added to New Outlook for Windows by the 12/31/2024 deadline, or am I looking at a conversion between now and then to whatever new functionality New Outlook supports for Tasks. Thanks again, SteveRe: Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024
Can you run the new Oulook for Windows side-by-side with existing Microsoft 365 Subscription that includes Outlook Desktop? - or -- Does the new Outlook for Windows Replace both Windows 10 Mail App and Microsoft 365 Subscription version of Outlook?Is Read Receipt Default ON For Mobile Devices Using Exchange Active Sync (EAS)?
I just discovered to my chagrin that my phone was sending read receipts to any sender who requested one, without asking me if I wanted to send one. This could be one of the causes that my spam has increased greatly since I got a new Android phone to sadly replace my favorite Windows Phone. In Outlook on the Web, under mail options / general / mobile devices, there is a checkbox that says "Don't send read receipts for messages read on devices that use Exchange ActiveSync" I'm not sure if I unchecked this by accident at some point since I started using O365, or if the default is that it's unchecked. It has to be CHECKED in order to stop the read receipts from being sent without notice. (See below:) If, in fact, the default is that it's left unchecked, I think this is a bad idea. At the least, I think it should be a required prompt when a new mobile device is added and set up to sync with an account.Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps
Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps If you are using two-factor authentication in Office 365 (AKA multi-factor authentication) you MUST use an App Password instead of your Office 365 Login Password when creating your Exchange Active Sync account on an Android device. See the following link to learn how to create an App Password: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-app-password-for-Office-365-3e7c860f-bda4-4441-a618-b53953ee1183 If you don't use an App password during the setup, you will get the following message: Can't set up account. Authentication failed. As an aside, your domain\user entry should read: \yourusername@contoso.onmicrosoft.com or \yourusername@yourdomain.com Your server name should be: outlook.office365.comOneNote Searchable Ink and Ink to Text on Samsung S-Pen Enabled Devices

I have 4.2113.1 on my Android Phone running Android Version 9 (Pie) and I see the color categories on my phone calendar, but I cannot set or change a color category. One thing that is very annoying is that if I use the Samsung native calendar app, and make any changes to a calendar entry that has a color category, it will not sync the entry back to Office 365 and subsequently to other devices in my universe. This creates a real issue, because if I update the same entry on my Outlook for Windows Desktop App, it completely overwrites the calendar entry that I previously updated using the Samsung Native App. There are times when I need to use the Samsung native calendar app, and this lack of sync has messed me up several times.Re: One Note Desk Top App

What is the meaning of the file size in parentheses when a file is uploading to OneDrive. For example: FILE.TXT __________________________________________________ UPLOADING 220.9 MB of 299.4 MB (158.5 MB) (italics and red highlighting added by me for emphasis). 299.4 MB is the actual file size on local disk. What does the 158.5MB number represent? Thank you,Re: OneDrive Completes Roll-Out of Differential Sync
TonyRedmondWhen you click on the OneDrive client cloud icon in the notification area, and you see the status of files that are uploading saying "Uploading xx mb of yy mb (zz mb) ", where zz mb is smaller than the actual file size of yy mb, is that an indication that differential sync is happening and it's only uploading zz mb of data? For example "Uploading 50mb of 500mb (350mb)" Thanks,Re: Urgent Onenote Problems on Samsung Phone
lester1027- Possibly you can use OneNote on the web until this is resolved. You can get to OneNote on the web via OneNote.com, or going to Microsoft 365 home page and using the menu in the upper left corner to select OneNote, or use OneDrive Consumer or OneDrive for Business and navigate to your notebook and open it by clicking on it.
