How do completely disable preview in Outlook
Been trying to find a solution to this with no luck as yet. When I receive an attachment such as a PDF file, JPG, etc., clicking the file opens it as a preview in Outlook. Similarly, when I click on the down or menu arrow to see options for opening, preview is the first option. How do I set it so that when I click on the file it opens in the default app for my system? Also, can I remove preview from the options in the dropdown? I'm running Windows 11 build 26200.8246 and new Outlook version 1.2026.420.300.
Cannot unlock my Microsoft account, SMS verification not working
Hi, I need help with a blocked Microsoft account. When I try to sign in, the system asks for my phone number to unblock the account. The first SMS took too long to arrive and when I tried again I received an error message and cannot retry. I tried another phone number but I did not receive any SMS and now I cannot use my original number again. I tried all support options through https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact . I changed my password twice, completed the account recovery form, changed the password again, cleared cache, switched networks, changed browsers and used incognito mode. Nothing worked. When I enter my main number, it shows “Something went wrong” and does not go to the next step. When I use another number, I receive the “Try another verification method” error, even though no other method is available. My account is still logged in on my phone, but I cannot unlock it on the web or on other devices. I have had this account for more than 10 years and everything is linked to it. I even created another email to contact Microsoft Support, but it always redirects me to the same link and I cannot open an actual support ticket. Could someone from Microsoft please help me unblock my account or escalate this issue? I can provide any additional verification if needed. Thank you.

But in Outlook 2019 classic works perfectly it sava with today date. Should be some configuration?
Problem with Outlook classic
Hello, how do I ask for help in this forum about a problem that the support desk seems to have no idea how to fix? My Outlook Classic on my desktop will not open 3rd party links and tells me that my organisation has a policy preventing it happening and to contact my Help Desk but I have a family subscription and no help desk. Even when a person rang me to talk to me after multiple reports, part way through our conversation he just disappeared. I am in Australia so the time difference may be an issue. An example of the problem is that I received a retail company email featuring a link to view their catalogues and my Outlook won't open it because of a policy I never asked for. I don't know if this is the right forum but it's the only one I could find to ask a question on.New Outlook: This message can't be saved right now. Please try again
We are having an issue in New Outlook with shared mailboxes. This issue just started happening. User replies to an email in a shared mailbox. User changes the "from" field to her email. User tries to send the email but receives an alert "This message can't be saved right now. Please try again later." The message then closes and a copy of the email is saved to the Drafts folder. No permissions have changed. If user tries the same actions in the Outlook Web Client or Classic Outlook, the user is able to send the email without issue. We've tried resetting New Outlook, restarting Windows, behavior persists. Again, this function was working up until recently. Microsoft Outlook Version: 1.2026.317.100 WebView2 Version: 146.0.3856.84 (Stable) Please advise how we can resolve this issue.
Add-in without Connected Experience
I've developed an Outlook Add-in using the new web tech based approach (not a legacy COM Plugin). One of our customers wants to use said Add-in, but they have the requirement that they can't enable the "Connected Experience" for their Outlook. Is it possible in any way to use an Outlook Add-in without having to enable the "Connected Experience" or is this just not an option?Outlook Retrieves Emails But Fails to Put Then Into the Inbox
I have a brand new Dell desktop that replaced a previous Dell desktop computer. I have rebuilt everything on the new computer that was on the old, but have a very strange problem with Outlook. When I click on "Send/Receive", I see at the bottom right of the screen that it is retrieving a bunch of emails from the Gmail server. But upon completion of the retrieval, none of those emails appears in the Inbox. If I click again on "Send/Receive", the process repeats. And since I have set up retrieval to automatically issue the "Send/Receive" every three minutes, this process repeats and repeats, never placing the retrieved emails into the Inbox. I should also comment that the count of the emails only increases, telling me that those emails do not disappear from the server. I am using POP3, not IMAP. I am using Outlook Classic, not the new Outlook. I have been using Outlook for many, many years, and have successfully set up Outlook many, many times. But I am totally baffled by what I am seeing. I would appreciate any suggestions at all. Thank you. Len JacobsonOutlook not removing junk emails from one sender
I'm using Outlook 2016 on Windows 11. Beginning on Feb 17, my email spam folder started blowing up with about 40+ spam emails per day, all on "fake medical" topics -- attempting to sell cures for every medical condition that you can think of, and some you would never think of. Then after a couple of weeks, some of them started appearing in my Inbox, not caught by the spam filter. So, I raised my Junk email filter level to High. And whenever an unwanted email still gets through to my Inbox, I put the sender on the Outlook "block sender" list. But emails from one particular sender keep getting through to the Inbox, no matter how many times I block the address. What else can I do?
