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 CicchettiAdvanced 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 Templates keep disappearing.
I have noticed that my Outlook templates periodically disappear/are deleted from Outlook for the Web. I add several templates. Pressing My Templates while composing an email...works for a while...then one day they all disappear. Has anyone else been experiencing that lately?

Excessive Spam, Junk Mail from "geeksquad" email address?
Experiencing some frustration with the following, and thought to see if anyone else is having this issue and/or have found a solution. I've been getting an excessive amount of spam/junk for the last two months, and the majority of it is arriving directly in my inbox. While some of the messages do not have email addresses that I can see (and thus, I frustratingly can't add them/their domain to my spam/block list), the largest number is coming from the email address mailto:geeksquad@emailinfo.geeksquad.com This is obviously a "known" and "safe" email address for BestBuy's Geeksquad. I was reluctant to add it to my "Blocked Senders and Domains" list because I wouldn't want any legitimate BestBuy purchase/reminder/receipt emails being permanently blocked. Sadly, the number of emails haven't gotten so bad, I unfortunately ended up doing just that. What's more, I also removed the same email address from my "Safe Senders and Domains" list. Despite this, I'm still getting tons of spam from the above email address, and most is still arriving directly to my inbox. I'd be happy to just have these email redirected to my junk/spam folder at this point, but it's all becoming quit maddening and annoying. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon and/or was able to "fix" this from happening? Thank you, and appreciate your collective insight.
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 Desktop Profile photo not showing
Hi Team We have hybrid environment and just recently migrated almost all mailboxes to EXO. Now I am having some problems with the profile photo not showing in Outlook Desktop Client only. The profile photos are showing correctly everywhere else across the O365 - Teams, Outlook OWA, Outlook mobile, but not on the desktop client. I tried manually applying via set-userphoto cmdl, but still not showing on the desktop client. Any ideas where I should focus to fix this and how to make it work seamlessly in the future ?
