Microsoft Outlook Verification notification issue
Hello, Over the past 3 days, I have had recurring notifications seemingly from Microsoft (pushed notification on my Android phone) asking for permission to sign in to my Outlook account. My Outlook accounts are signed in on my phone and my desktop. I changed my password yesterday due to concerns over security and added 2FA. Over the last 3 days I would say I have gotten 10-11 notifications about this. Most come from Canada, but I have had the Netherlands, an unknown location, and I believe the USA in that timeframe. I run a VPN on both my phone and desktop. I've had it happen on both wifi network and the mobile network. I also checked the recent activity log on my Microsoft account, and it only recorded my sign-ins. So my question becomes. Is someone trying to get into my email? Is it a glitch with my VPN or a Microsoft bug? I'm running a OnePlus 10. Any ideas would be great. It's mostly just annoying moreso than anything. Thanks!
Classic Outlook Keeps "Not Responding" and freezing
Hi there, I tried to scour for something similar, but I couldn't find anything and/or it didn't work - so here I am - hopefully someone can help. Okay the facts - I use Classic Outlook (CO moving forward) and I run 5 email address in it - 3 are a domain for my company that I run and 2 are POP emails brought in from AOL. I run Windows 11. This is happening to 3 or my 5 work stations, all three are the ones on Windows 11. This started slow a few weeks ago, thought it was just low memory so went through and cleaned up old emails. I am not seeing these issues when using the 2 pop emails - just my company domain ones. Can open CO, taking some extended time but it is getting there. As soon as I try to send an email, reply to an email, change a signature within a new email - it either takes 5-10 minutes to load if we do not click again and just let it sit and think. The second I try and click something or try and scroll while waiting - it goes into 'Not Responding'. Some times it will load after 1 minute and sometimes it just get stuck. I have updated my CO, I tried the advanced 'online repair' through my system, I have tried disabling all my add-ons, I tried deleting my email account from CO and re-loading/logging in, I have checked my graphics card (something on google said to check it for updates), I have ran command prompts to check for internal Windows errors and I have come up short on everything.
New Outlook: Copying text & images into a blank email often only pastes the text (images disappear)
We've reproduced this on multiple devices with multiple users - it seems to be specific to the New Outlook. Here's my version as an example: Microsoft Outlook Version: 1.2026.105.100 Client Version: 20260116004.02 WebView2 Version: 144.0.3719.82 (Stable) The best way to see this is if you go to your sent items, find an email you've sent that has an embedded image (for example, I used my signature which has an image). Drag to select, like this: Then press CTRL+C to copy, and then try to paste that in a new email. In many cases when I do this, only the text will appear - regardless of my Copy/paste settings in New Outlook, whether I choose to keep source formatting, or not. To copy the images reliably, I need to right-click each image, click "Copy image", then "Paste" manually into a New Outlook new e-mail window. However, my colleague figured out that if you press Reply All or Forward on the same email, and THEN copy the range of text and images, then... when you try to paste that content into a New Outlook e-mail, the text AND images will be pasted correctly. It's almost like the "read-only" view of an email doesn't load embedded content fully, preventing the copy from actually copying images. Try it out. It doesn't always appear to be an issue. I've encountered this more often when trying to copy my own signature - but it also happens in other cases when the embedded image is in the body. In all cases I've seen, it's been with JPGs.Outlook changing styles/colors of incoming email?
HI friends - I recently got an email from a research org named ORCid and I noted when I received the email that it was hard to read - the text was a lightt grey on white, or light grey on dark grey in dark mode: I emailed ORCid back and explained that this was going to fail any WCAG/Accessibility checks, and could they take a look. I spoke back and forth with their internal developer who insisted that it didnt look like that on being sent - he sent me examples from his own inbox as proof: And these look perfectly fine. Weirdly - when I forwarded this email to a colleague, they showed me on their screen it appeared as intended with the tetxt darker and more legible. They forwarded it back to me - and surely enough, it looks correct. This using the Outlook desktop app in both old and new mode - and dark or light profile - and also in the web outlook as well. Im really confused as to how/why when I receive it the first time it looks so unreadable? Any advice would be awesome.
Organizing email account folders on PC
Since updating to the new Outlook, I am not able (on my PC or Mac) to drag and drop account folders to arrange them in a priority fashion. I have downloaded the classic version again, but the new version opens up anyway. I have tried on the app AND using a browser. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I don't know if I am just not doing something correctly, or if that function is not available, except on my mobile devices. TYIA
Teams meeting email invites do not display "Add to Calendar" header when there's an attachment.
Trying to solve an issue when someone sends out Teams meeting invites that include attachments. The header that typically appears directly above the body of the email showing the time and date of the meeting and the option to add the meeting to your calendar does not appear, this issue is consistent across outlook and gmail inboxes of the recipients. The attachment takes over the space that the 'Add to Calendar' would appear, I have been able to replicate this issue consistently. Removing attachments rectifies the issue but is not really satisfactory as they want to include relevant files to the meeting in the invitations that are sent out. Thanks, LNew Outlook doesn't show my name in sent emails, only my email address (IMAP account)
Hello all, Just that problem. When I send emails through the new outlook the recipient sees my email address where it should be my name in the sender field. This is an IMAP account. I've searched for similar answers but they were a bit old and I am not sure if this has been updated yet. I've just switched from the Mail app in Win 11 to the new Outlook as I have been having some problems with emails stuck in the outbox and a lot of repeated drafts in that older app. So far that issue hasn't shown up in the new outlook and everything works fine, except for the thing that my name is not displayed in sent emails. It is not a problem with recipients who already know me, but for new ones it might look odd. Many thanks
Formula columns in classic Outlook - count of recipients?
Rather than the standard "to" column that shows the names of everyone the email was sent to, I would like to see a count of aliases the email was addressed to. Is this something that can be done with a formula-type column? Bonus points if it can separate out to and cc into separate counts.
