Significant changes to the New Outlook Calendar Event User Interface
In October 2025, the New Outlook Calendar Event was redesigned to incorporate Copilot, leading to a complete user interface makeover. Many icons were rearranged. This blog post includes a screenshot, icon placement, and descriptions.

Hi JMerck, I tried a couple of scenarios: Here are my learnings. Left Folder Pane: It remembered my settings and shut down. Message Pane: Based on your sorting criteria, the Headers for pinned or date are continuously expanded.

Your post made me laugh. (I laughed at your creative writing and not your situation.) If you are in New Outlook, can you look in the Deleted Contact folder and empty it? I tested both the MS 365 paid subscription and Outlook.com (free account) and did not have any issues. But I only deleted 1 to 2 contacts. I am going to reach out to a couple of MS people. This sounds like a bug. I would have taken the same approach as you. In the meantime, can you tell me which version of Outlook you are using? Are you an Outlook.com user (free version) or a Microsoft 365 paid subscriber? Stay tuned.Re: outlook contacts continuously restore themselves
By the way, if you exported your contacts via Classic and plan to upload them to New Outlook, many of the custom fields will not be imported. For example, there is no custom field for Categories in the new Outlook. I suggest you export the contacts from both platforms so you can compare the differences. #traccreations4e-r25 10/28/2025Re: Support for auto-filing sent emails
PurpleMacha25, I am going to add another alternative "workaround" method. As mentioned above, MS does not have a rule to move sent items to a folder of choice. I created a workaround solution using a cc and a hashtag in the email body, along with a rule that automates moving a Sent message to a folder.

Currently, in New Outlook or Outlook.com, your options are to move to the Junk or Deleted folder. You cannot permanently delete messages via blocking or rules. In the corporate sector, emails can be quarantined and not delivered to the user's inbox. These messages are classified as containing a virus or as phishing, and are managed in Azure. #traccreations4e-r25 10/28/2025Prioritize My Inbox with Copilot
I recently got to try out Microsoft 365 Copilot’s Prioritize My Inbox in both New Outlook and Classic Outlook—and honestly, it’s a game-changer! I was away for a few weeks, so when I came back, my inbox was a mess. Important emails were tangled up with calendar invites and lower-priority messages that hadn’t been pushed to the Other tab. That’s when I switched the sort order to Priority. Instantly, Copilot grouped my emails into High, Normal, and Low categories. It was like having an AI assistant do the sorting for me. Even without any extra training, it did a surprisingly good job highlighting what really mattered. The best part? I saved about an hour of digging through my inbox and could focus on the messages that needed my attention first.

LordNelson, changing the default Snooze time in New Outlook is unavailable. I reviewed the feedback hub and other users have requested this functionality.

I recently spent some time exploring the new Outlook Newsletter (Preview) feature, and I was pleasantly surprised by how intuitive and useful it is! If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a new app available in New Outlook, Classic Outlook, and Outlook on the Web (OWA). It lets Microsoft 365 subscribers with a work or school account create and send clean, professional-looking newsletters—right from your inbox. No extra tools or design experience needed. It even has its dedicated site: https://outlook.office.com/newsletter. In my blog post, I share a few tips to help you get started, highlight some current limitations to be aware of, and include feedback I’ve already shared with Microsoft. If you're curious about how it works or thinking about trying it out, take a look. 👉🏽Outlook Newsletter Review – Create Professional Newsletters Fast (2025) » TRACCreations4E #traccreations4e-p25 7/21/2025Re: Can't collapse all groups in new Outlook?
clogva1 I agree with you. I am on the fence with the Jump To functionality. I would really like the ability to collapse/expand all. In New Outlook, if you and your team have assigned emails to a category [Defendant's Name], you can: 1) Click on the tag next to the email to display all emails assigned to that category, regardless of folder location. (Video at 36:25 https://youtu.be/IOPjss4N3Ms?si=ZGXOR3urEpc-0NI6&t=2184 ) 2) Add categories to your favorites (For your scenario, I would add to favorites the most frequently used ones. Great for short-term workflow.) (Same video as above) 3) Create a custom Search Folder of categories that you can easily access anytime.

Hi Amit_Bansal_MVP, I have the MS365 Business and Enterprise licenses. Ensure that you enable the settings: Settings | Mail | Attachments Next, when composing an email, include keywords like "attached or attachment included" to trigger the warning.
