Problemen met outlook, missende functies oa Categorieën, opvolgen en sjablonen.
Hallo, ik zit met het volgende, vandaag in totaal 7 uur met microsoft ondersteuning gechat en hulp op afstand gehad voor mijn probleem met outlook. De "gewone klantenservice" kwam er niet uit maar de next level technicus ook niet. Ik werd doorverwezen naar dit forum in de hoop dat mij hier de hulp kan worden geboden die ik zoek. Ik ben bezig met een opleiding tot administratief medewerker, nu moet ik voor een aantal opdrachten categorieën aan mijn mail hangen en de functie opvolgen gebruiken. Categorieën en opvolgen zit normaal in de groep labels. Echter deze staan daar niet zie printscreen categorieën is hier niet zichtbaar. Wanneer ik op opvolgen druk krijg ik het volgende te zien : Normaal staan hier altijd de opties Morgen, Volgende week, Aangepast, Herrinering etc. Ik heb dat dus ook niet. Ook moet ik gebruik maken van sjablonen, normaal ga je dan naar de groep APPS Normaal staat hier dus My templates tussen en onderin staat ook nog iets wat je dan kan aanklikken wat te maken heeft met invoeginstoepassingen. Dit mis ik dus ook. Bij de optie snelle stappen heb ik ook geen optie markeren als afgehandeld (klaar) en als ik op een mail klik met de rechtermuis knop kan ik ook geen categorie kiezen/aanklikken en heb ik ook geen opties voor opvolgen. Ik maak gebruik van Windows 11 en heb een microsoft 365 family abbonement. Deze gebruik ik nog op een andere laptop (die van mijn man) en mijn desktop welke ik gebruik voor mijn fotografiestudio. Alle outlooks hebben het zelfde probleem zoals hierboven is beschreven. Wat heeft de helpdesk tot nu toe geprobeerd, het verwijderen en opnieuw installeren van het office pakket. Een nieuw profiel aanmaken in outlook. Windows fouten opsporen en repareren. Ze hebben vast nog meer dingen gedaan binnen het register maar dat ging mijn pet te boven. Vanuit de helpdesk kreeg ik dus het advies om hier mijn probleem/vraag te posten. Ik heb geen idee hoelang dit probleem zich al voordoet aangezien ik deze functies nooit gebruikte binnen outlook maar nu ik de opleiding volg hier dus wel mee aan de slag moet. Dit kan dus een week zijn maar ook zo een jaar. Wie kan mij helpen met dit probleem??
Outlook for Mac: Unable to send message immediately
Hi, Since this morning, Outlook (Microsoft 365 version updated to the latest version) no longer allows me to send email messages immediately, but only offers the "schedule sending" option. Furthermore, it doesn't allow me to schedule the sending for today, but only for tomorrow. The version of Outlook used is the Legacy version. This problem does not occur on the "current" version. I have already tried restarting both outlook and the entire system, but the situation has not changed. The problem does not occur using the web version of Outlook.
Stop the annoying pop ups in everything
For the love of any deity out there, how do I stop the constant pop ups from Microsoft? I use Outlook, I get pop ups. Sharepoint? More pop ups. OneNote? You better believe I get more pop ups. They are annoying, unwanted and intrusive; All I want to do is get my stuff done without Microsoft harassing me with "Did you know about this feature? Click here to try it!" Or, "we'd love your feedback that we will ignore because it doesn't comply with what we want to hear but we will continue to pester you instead of letting you do what you need to do!" Well, yes, I knew about it and I'm not using it because it is hot garbage, just like everything Microsoft has released. I constantly fill out Microsoft's crappy surveys and tell them to stop bothering me with surveys! How do I get this harassment to stop?! Here are some examplesNew Outlook: Users Say It's Broken—Microsoft response.
I had the opportunity to interview Caitlin Hart, the Principal Product Manager for New Outlook, where I asked the challenging questions of frustrated New Outlook users, IT Consultants, and IT developers. We talked about: Is the New Outlook just a wrapper for the web version? Why didn’t Microsoft recreate Classic Outlook from scratch? Why are users forced to switch to the New Outlook app? Why are some users still resistant to adopting the New Outlook? When will New Outlook meet the needs of power users? How is Microsoft encouraging VBA developers to stay ahead?

Outlook 365 – Folder sorting resets automatically Environment: - Outlook desktop app (Microsoft 365) - Exchange / Office 365 mailbox - Dark mode enabled - Multiple shared mailboxes Problem description: Outlook automatically changes the folder sorting/display settings without user action. The option “Sort subfolders A to Z” reactivates randomly during the day. The configured sorting (e.g., Received – Descending) resets several times per day. In View Settings, the sorting remains configured correctly, but visually Outlook displays a different order. The issue occurs across multiple folders (Inbox, shared mailboxes). Actions already taken: - Verified and modified sorting via View > View Settings > Sort. - Applied the same view to multiple folders. - Confirmed that the settings remain saved correctly. - Issue persists: the parameter stays the same, but Outlook displays mails differently after refresh. Possible causes considered: 1. Outlook bug – display refresh resets the sorting visually even though settings remain unchanged. 2. Corrupted Outlook views – local view definition might be corrupted (outlook.exe /cleanviews). 3. Outlook add-in – third-party add-in may override sorting. 4. Exchange synchronization – server-side policy may enforce default sorting on shared mailboxes. 5. Recent Microsoft 365 updates – some users have reported similar issues in 2025 (views automatically resetting). Request: - Confirm whether this is a known Outlook 365 bug related to automatic resetting of folder views/sorting. - Provide solution or patch/workaround. - Official Microsoft recommendations to prevent Outlook from reverting to A → Z sorting automatically.
MAC - Importing Legacy POP On My Computer data
The end is nigh for Legacy thus I did the switch as a test knowing I could still revert. Background: I have long time POP account. In the UBF8T346G9.Office, Outlook, Outlook 15 Profiles, Main Profile: Data folder: 159 GB. Largest folders: Message Attachments: 90 GB Message Sources: 65 GB Messages: 5 GB Before I switching I tried: Export Data to OLM – don't have enough room Delete attachments from multiple emails – can only do one email at a time. Rules can't help After switch it began importing On My Computer data which was hopeful, but it held at 141498 items, and would take days I read. I reverted back to Legacy and will go another way about it when I have a few off days. My question: Apart from deleting years of emails, what's a better way to get the most data out of Legacy, and/or speeding up the import? Get another drive and Export Data to OLM, then manually import? Delete attachment folders directly from Message Attachments folder? Find something like Clean my Mac? ?? Perfect world I get all my in out mail with whatever attachments remain and Calendar data, but I'll take what I can get at this point. Appreciated!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 2021 & 2024 Home and Business app crash
Hi and good day everyone, I'm having an issue with Outlook, the app suddenly closes and crashes when I try to open some emails. This issue doesn't happen on Outlook 2016, which opens emails normally. The error shown in the Event Viewer is as below. I tried uninstalling the previous update and now have updated to the latest version, but the issue persists. Are there any patches available to solve this problem?Add Owned Account as Alias
Hi All, I have two Microsoft accounts at present: an old one originally used for OneDrive, and another I had made more recently to get the @outlook.com handle so that I have the same email for Outlook and Gmail. We recently purchased the family plan on my old OneDrive account, and it's asked me to create an Outlook alias. Is there any way to add the other @outlook.com account to my OneDrive account as an alias? Do I have to delete the @outlook one and reclaim the domain as an alias? If so, what is the delay period between that email becoming available again? Curious to hear what everyone thinks the easyist plan of action is, Cheers, Fish
