Outlook web Inbox button and others not working
As from today, the INBOX button or any other don't work; clicking on it won't take me back to the inbox view. It only happens when I open an email or conversation of that particular folder and then want to return to the Inbox or that folder's view. I have to click on another button, like DRAFTS, and then INBOX again to make it work. It happens in both Chrome and Firefox, both with latest updates. EDIT: As for 10 March the problem seems to be fixed.
Run rule now is grayed out
My rules in Outlook are grayed out again. The part of manual execution. And this status has been remained for at least 3 days. I encountered this circumstance before like few months ago and here we go again. My account is personal account (Outlook.com). When I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac, Version 16.101 (25091314), to see my rules and wanna execute one of the rules, it's greyed out, a.k.a, cannot be executed. When I open a browser, say Edge, (Version 140.0.3485.66 (Official build) (arm64)), the same status as well. My findings so far: All of rules that will categorize email cannot be executed manually now. Rules that will delete emails can be executed manually. It's manual execution that won't work. Coming emails will still be categorized by the rules automatically. Any clue how to solve this? Or somewhere is wrong internally in the system so far?Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is ruining Outlook.com
About a week ago, I noticed that all URLs were suddenly extremely long/obscure, and beginning with something like: https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= It destroys the URL visibility experience. I quickly realized that this was an Office 365 (E5) feature called https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange-online-advanced-threat-protection-service-description.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396, but I'm not talking about Office 365 here but rather the consumer Outlook.com site. I need to find out if we're going to be able to disable this, and when. It's unbelievable that MS just foisted it on us, since it's not even in the vast majority of Office 365 plans! I realize that some people have been seeing it longer than one week.
outlook.live.com not showing external images in messages
I can't get outlook.live.com to show images. I'm using an ancient account -- msn.com migrated to outlook.com, if that matters. But I also have an Office 365 subscription I'm using the service in a desktop browser. Up to a few weeks ago, things were fine. But now mailing lists that I subscribe to (like Harbor Freight Tools advertisements, or The Wall Street Journal, or Redfin search matches, or ...) aren't showing images. This makes email pretty much unusable, since there's no UI to explicitly allow images for that email message. I've added the email sender to my contacts and to safe senders. The mailing list is known to Outlook in the options -- seems like that's allowed, too. When I try to search for this issue, I end up hitting answers from 2012 which describe settings and menus that aren't in my UI. How can I get images to load? Why did they break? I tried digging a bit deeper: I'm looking at a message in the browser that has blocked images. If I'm looking at the message itself, I see this HTML for one of the blocked images: <img data-imagetype="External" blockedimagesrc="https://assets.bounceexchange.com/assets/uploads/users/4035/042221/HarborFreight/tc1-155.jpg" width="155" alt="automotive" class="x_width_95" style="display:block; margin:0 auto; border:0; white-space:pre; text-align:center"> but if I view the message's original source (using three dots / view / message source) then I find this HTML for the same image: <img src="https://assets.bounceexchange.com/assets/uploads/users/4035/042221/HarborFreight/tc1-155.jpg" width="155" style="display:block;margin=:0 auto;border:0;white-space:pre;text-align:center;" alt="automotive" class="width_95"> So it's very clear that outlook.live.com is translating the HTML and blocking the image deliberately. How can I make it stop doing that?
Outlook.com Sync email - Unable to load these settings. Please try again later.
For over a week, I have had the message "Unable to load these settings. Please try again later." in my "Sync email" settings in Outlook.com. Is anyone else having this issue? I see this was an issue in 2022, but I am having it now. Tried different browsers and computers, still not working.
Automatic Replies in Outlook - Insert Image n/a - PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
We use O365 for our business needs and recently came to learn that the insert image function is no longer available. As a company that uses an image to display our company logo, address and tagline in our e-signatures its is extremely frustrating to not be able to insert an image in our Automatic Replies when our staff are on vacation and want to create an Out of Office message. I have troubleshot this issue with Microsoft support and was given instruction to use a rule as a work around however this is NOT a good recommendation to what we believe is a HUGE problem since using a rule will send out of office notifications to every single email and not just one email to each sender as is done with notifications when using Automatic Replies. Please take note that we were previously able to insert images in automatic replies and now its gone! Not sure why Microsoft allows you to insert an image when creating an e-signature and even allows you to insert an image in Rules but not in Automatic Replies. Please review and consider bringing back insert image into Automatic Replies! With Thanks & Appreciation, Sonja CicchettiOutlook 365 spell check prevents manual editing of errors
When creating a new email in the online version of outlook, spellcheck recently started blocking manual editing of misspelled words. For example, when typing "on", I accidentally pressed the "p" key and typed "pon", which corrects to "pun", "pond" or "pony". I used to be able to disregard the suggestions and just manually fix the word, but now selecting the word locks you into the popup bubble and typing does nothing. You need to select before or after the misspelled word and arrow key your way into the misspelled letter to correct. Turning off spellcheck entirely eliminates the full functionality and I don't want that.
