New Outlook - Unable to Block Image Downloads
Where in the new Outlook do I have the option to block the automatic loading of images for a Consumer O365 account or an Exchange account. In the current full version this is simple to do. In looking at the settings I can find no such option. What I can find is the setting to block external content, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. In the Exchange account I have it set like this Images are being blocked. I see this in the message. Where is this setting? In the consumer account I have it set to what would seem to be even more restrictive. However, all images are getting through. In OWA I have this option This is still not good enough, but why isn't it in the New Outlook as most settings seem to be the same for Outlook as OWA. To be clear MS, for me personally as well as the 25K+ corporate mailboxes I am responsible for will not use the new version until this is resolved.
The New Outlook seems to have lost a feature
Does anyone know how to get a default set (like we used to have) to automatically get a BCC of all email sent and replied to? I am using the client on my laptop and the IOS App on my iPhone. I am interested in knowing how to get this feature back. It used to be a setting - which is no longer available. I've tried creating rules and quick steps - neither has worked.Outlook Offline Phase I: Available Features
Updated November 18, 2025. The following are some of the key features introduced in Outlook Offline Phase I: Offline Email Access: Users can read, reply to, and compose new emails offline. These actions will be synchronized once the user reconnects to the Internet. Calendar Management: Users can create, edit, and delete calendar events while offline.. Contact Access: Access to contacts is available offline, allowing users to look up contact information. Synchronization: Any offline changes, such as sending emails, updating calendar events, or modifying contact information, will automatically synchronize once the internet connection is restored. Unsupported Features While Outlook Offline Phase I brings a host of new functionalities, it is important to note that not all features are supported in the offline mode - yet. I recommend downloading the updated list of supported and unsupported features to ensure you have the most up-to-date information on what is supported and what is not.

Need now to use 2 hands for Quick Actions shortcut >100 times a day...
The limitation to 5 to 9 for a shortcut to a Quick Step is ergonomically very strange : if it's quick steps, you do it to *save time* so it has to be as convenient as possible, so you'd select as close to 1 as possible to facilitate using only your left hand to type all the CTRL+SHIFT+number. For reaching 5 to 9 you need to mobilize also the right hand which is not really facilitating *quick* usage... I use CTRL+SHIFT+1-3 on almost every mail to sort out mail inflow, so over x100 times a day, so preventing to associate a one hand shortcut to Quick Steps is a show stopper for me at that stage.
"New Outlook" on Windows - Unable to add Additional Mailbox folders to the Favourites section
Hi, As per subject, I have changed over to the New Outlook on Windows and used to be able to pin folders from additional mailboxes (Shared mailboxes) to the Favourites section. This enabled me to view inboxes of multiple mailboxes without needing to constantly scroll down and check. The new version no longer gives that option and nests all additional mailboxes under 'Shared with me'. It used to be available on the menu option when right clicking on a mailbox folder:
