When I search keyword, Outlook only shows the result from my default mailbox (personal mailbox). I have linked 2 more common mailboxes that I share with my team. None of us is able to find emails in the se common mailboxes. When we search for the unique keywords, Outlook only shows result from default Mailbox.

How do you block space out on your personal calendar such that it's only available to Microsoft bookings, and shows busy to others in your organization? I've created a personal bookings page with custom timeslots--that's working just fine. The problem is that people in my org who can see my calendar are sending calendar invites for those same timeslots, making them no longer available to the bookings page. If I add my own events to my personal calendar to mark time as busy, those slots also disappear from the bookings page. How can I adjust things such as to reserve time exclusively for Microsoft bookings and no other users at my org?35Views0likes1CommentOutlook for Android not syncing contacts automatically
Hi Everyone, I can't get Outlook on my android phone (Samsung S9) to sync contact automatically with my Exchange (Microsoft Hosted Exchange) account. If I add a contact on the Outlook app running on my Windows 10 laptop, I can see it if I look on the Outlook for web. I have checked the usual settings on my phone: The only way to get the contacts to update is to reset the account: Contacts that I add on my phone (Exchange account) do not sync back to the online account. Outlook on my phone syncs emails with the same account normally. I've tried clearing data / cache, and even taken the extra step of uninstalling and reinstalling on my phone but it makes no difference Any suggestions gladly welcomed!2.5KViews0likes2CommentsImproving How Outlook Classic Handles Reactions
A fix due in May 2026 will make sure that the Outlook classic client will handle Outlook reactions properly if the reactions are blocked. Of course, if tenants don’t like responding to email with an emoji, they can create a transport rule to insert the x-ms-reactions header. Detecting the header is an instruction to Outlook clients to suppress reactions that Outlook classic has been ignoring up to now. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/17/outlook-reactions-classic/58Views0likes0CommentsOutlook 2016 blank MFA screen for some users
I have a Conditional Access rule so that when someone connects from outside a trusted IP it requires MFA, I have a few users that get the "Requires password" message come up, they get a window and type in their username and click next, then the window disappears without prompting for MFA and it's back to where they were. Same thing if they go to File->Accounts if they are signed out and try to sign in they get asked for Email and then it just closes and they are still signed out. It's not for all users and everyone is using the same Office 365/2016 installation, monthly channel 1903, we use ADFS2.1KViews0likes1CommentOffice 365 no internet error
Outlook just stopped working yesterday. I have been using 356 for a couple of years now. One drive and Outlook both say I don't have internet access. Obviously I do. I can use one drive and outlook via a web browser, but not the desktop apps. I have tried most of the suggested fixes and nothing has worked. Anyone else having issues?250Views0likes3CommentsOffice 365 issues
We have an end user that started with us approximately a year ago. Shortly after he started he began noticing that his status would go away on a fairly regular basis on MS Teams. We tried uninstall/reinstall, resetting, repairing and the problem persisted. Since he was a relatively new hire we were thinking it was something with his laptop so we replaced and the issue returned. Turned in a ticket with our Office 365 vendor who in turn opened a ticket with Microsoft. After some initial testing they sent a Teams install file that seemed to fix the issue. Since that time he has regularly had issues with Teams disconnecting, Outlook just stop receiving emails, while showing connected. Typically the only fix was a restart and on some occasions that did not work. Sometimes a reset or repair might fix this issue. Throughout this we did clear credential manager, caches, etc...This got a point yesterday where I created a new user profile for him, basically like a new laptop and it temporarily fixed the Teams and Outlook issue, however when attempting to sign into MS Edge it would just spin and had to use task manager to close the app. Tried a repair on the app as you cannot uninstall and same result it would hang up and have to forcibly closed. Just wondering if someone else has encountered something like this and possible fixes. Thanks130Views1like1CommentOutlook "Classic" issues
