Hi Everyone, We have a customer who wishes to disable @ mentions in Outlook. They share very confidential information so do not want to risk this information being sent to the wrong person. In respect to this, we have a deployed a policy that applies the reg key 'ShowAutoSug' with a value of 0 and that works well. However, I am looking for a way to disable @mentions company wide. I of course know the setting individually within the Outlook client but cannot see any ADMX entry or Registry DWord I can use to disable this en-masse. I speculated this was maybe a 365 tenant change instead but cannot see anything confirming that either. Any guidance would be much appreciated. For clarity, attached is a screenshot of the Outlook setting I am trying to deploy company wide (either through GPO/Registry)Solved2.7KViews0likes5CommentsOutlook Inbox not updating
Hello, when using the Mail & Calender App on Win 10, everything works fine. But now Windows forces me to use the new Outlook App. When using Outlook my Inbox is not updating, it shows me 2 months old mails on top of the list. Same goes for using the web version outlook.com. My inbox is not updating even though I get new mails everyday. I have to search new mails by using the search bar. I tried to do some research and found blog and forum posts about deleting the Outlook cache. I tried it, I could't find the folder so I went and deinstalled Outlook and installed the old Mail App. Everything worked fine for 2 days. I received new mails like I should. But then again I got forced to move to the new Outlook App. Now it shows me my 2 months old Mails again. What confuses me is why the web version is not working correctly too? My local cache files shouldn't have any influence on the web version. Anybody here that can help me? Thanks in advance.Solved158KViews0likes11CommentsI can't add an O365 email to Outlook desktop client but I can access it from the web
I can't add a O365 to Outlook desktop client but I can access from the web This a weird thing, whenever I try to add in Outlook from File > Add Account I get the message "Something went wrong and Outlook couldn't set up your account". From Control Panel > Mail > Email accounts > New > Manual Setup > here I put the email and gets stuck at "Searching for... Settings" and then " An encrypted connection to your email is not available, click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection", so I do that and get the error "We're sorry we couldn't set up your account automatically. To try setting up the account yourself click Next" which is basically the same. Everything works fine in the browser, any ideas on this?13KViews0likes6CommentsOutlook displaying only some images
I have two problems that may or may not be related. In Outlook 365 sometimes emails will not display in the preview pane. Click on another email and click back and it often displays. Not a big issue, mainly a small annoyance. I mention it because it may be related to the second. An email with multiple images will display some, but not others. Typically it does not display smaller images. For example a product sale newsletter will display the full page width specials, but not the smaller line items which may be quarter width. I checked trust center and also Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Advanced Tab --> "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is unchecked. Below is an example.172Views0likes0CommentsHow to search emails in shared mailboxes in Outlook 365

Hello everyone, We have an Outlook addon that communicates with our application. Our application used to be 32 bit. However, we changed it to 64 bit. We use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook DLL to create emails, appointments and so on. Recently we have been having problems with creating objects and unfortunately we do not know what exactly the problem is. We always get an exception like this: System.InvalidCastException: Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Outlook.ApplicationClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Outlook._Application" umgewandelt werden. Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgeführt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente für die Schnittstelle mit der IID "{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgeführt werden konnte: Element nicht gefunden.

Unfortunately, it only works for a few days or weeks and then the problem reappears. We tried to reproduce the problem with a powershell script and we could. This is the script: $Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application $Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0) # 0 steht für MailItem $Mail.Subject = "Test E-Mail von PowerShell" $Mail.Body = "Dies ist eine Test-E-Mail, die mit PowerShell erstellt wurde." $Mail.Display() Write-Host "Das E-Mail-Fenster wurde angezeigt." [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Mail) | Out-Null [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Outlook) | Out-Null What is the problem? Could the problem be related to Windows group policies? If so, which ones? We have a lot of customers that have this problem so we need help asp.

I've been using Windows 10 for a ridiculously long time, I recently tried out a Windows 11 PC and the file explorer and OneDrive integration was extremely annoying. The worst part about the file explorer was that many of the functions I used on Windows 10 with the right click was hidden behind the "more options" on the right click of windows 11, which essentially opened up the Windows 10 right click menu behind it. The whole Windows 11 experience felt like a really bad skin cover up over a Windows 10 computer. The "open new desktop window" was ridiculous. I really feel like it's more difficult to be productive with windows 11. I make music with my P.C. and I edit videos, and I also browse the net. I do think it's possible that I got a fake Windows 11 PC from a refurbisher on Amazon, but if Windows 11 really was what I tried out, I definitely think there should be an alternative to Windows 11 that doesn't have so much "AI" integration. One of the simplest things I do on my Windows 10 is utilize the drag and drop function between file folders on Windows 10 to copy them between two folders, I do this by opening two instances of the file explorer, it's super nice for file management and for some reason windows 11 felt way more difficult to manage files if I remember correctly. Also, in Windows 10 there was a way to change the view of the programs or files either as icons or as a list. For some reason the file explorer in Windows 10 never remembers my options for each folder and I have to constantly change it. Like, if music files were always displayed as a list with lots of metadata, and pictures were always displayed in file explorer with medium or large icons, everything would be great. The point being, I do a lot of things manually in Windows 10, and the Windows 11 PC I tried felt like it was made for children. Only other problem I have with windows 10 is the PC options screens are needlessly complicated and hide too many setting behind underlined/highlighted text from the windows menu on the bottom left, I actually think Windows 7 had a better P.C. options screen. Basically I think there should be a alternative to Windows 11 that is a bit more "old school" for people who like to do things more manually. I'm 26, I've been using Windows 10 for over 6 years now, I've gotten a lot of creative projects done with Windows 10, Windows 11 does not appeal to me at all. Now I'm in a tough spot because I don't want to use windows 11, yet functionality support is ending for windows 10. Although one time I booted up in safe mode and it said my O.S. was Windows (R), which is weird because I always customize my desktop theme to have a dark background and Red highlights... Am I currently using a Windows 11 alternative called Windows (R)? Ok this has been a tech rant/info barrage.1.2KViews0likes1CommentOutlook 365: Duplicate conference room names showing under locations
We recently changed our conference room names and since that time, we've noticed that some of our users are seeing multiple entries for conference rooms. When the users attempt to select the room on the location tab or required tab, they are seeing duplicates of the same rooms. This is only happening when the users are selecting the room from the location tab. If they go to Room Finder, there is only one instance of the room. The issue of course is that most people just use location and do not go into Room Finder as it creates an extra step. I have looked at multiple sites on this and the solution they quote involves changing the registry, but we don't have the registry option that these solutions point out. We also don't want to have to manually do a registry change for every individual having this issue. Has anyone come across this and if so, how did you resolve it? one more thing, we are also experiencing this in Outlook web.6.6KViews1like11Comments
