Environment: Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE), RTM Jun26SU installed (all updates current as of June 2026) On-premises, Windows Server 2019 OWA tested in Chrome, Edge, Firefox – all including InPrivate/Incognito mode Issue: Since approximately May 14–15, 2026 (coinciding with the EEMS mitigation rollout for CVE-2026-42897), inline CID-referenced images in emails are no longer displayed in OWA. Instead, OWA replaces them with a transparent 1×1 GIF placeholder (a data-URI containing a blank GIF image). Microsoft Support confirmed this is a known side effect of the EEMS mitigation for CVE-2026-42897. We expected the June 2026 Security Update (KB5094139) to resolve this – but the problem persists even after installation. Test results: Method OWA Outlook Desktop Thunderbird External HTTPS image ✅ Visible ✅ Visible ✅ Visible Base64 embedded image ❌ Not visible ✅ Visible ✅ Visible CID inline image ❌ Not visible (blank placeholder) ✅ Visible ✅ Visible What we confirmed: Affects all users, all browsers, all devices, all networks Affects newly created mailboxes as well The blank placeholder is injected server-side by OWA Problem started exactly with the EEMS mitigation rollout (~May 14, 2026) June 2026 SU (KB5094139) installed – problem still present Microsoft Support has been engaged for 5+ weeks without resolution Questions: Has anyone else confirmed that the June 2026 SU does not fix the OWA inline image rendering issue? Is there a known follow-up fix or hotfix planned specifically for this side effect? Has anyone found a working workaround that does not involve disabling Extended Protection? Any feedback from the Exchange product team or other admins would be greatly appreciated.Solved717Views1like7CommentsEdge Facebook OWA starts greyed out with Close Button
I have setup Facebook as an Edge desktop OWA and when I click to start it loads greyed out with a CLOSE button in the top left (see screen snip below). If I click on close, everything works OK. How can I stop this from happening and avoid having to click close everytime?456Views0likes5CommentsHow to Delete a Composing Email Attachment via Outlook Add-in?
Context: Server: Exchange Server 2019 on premise Client: OWA Category: Outlook Add-in Office JS API Set: Supported up to 1.5 only Problem Details: Delete an attachment added manually or through EWS API to an email item. Limitations: 1. Limitation of makeEWSRequestAsync() Office JS method: The makeEWSRequestAsync method in Office.js does not support the DeleteAttachment SOAP operation, which is required from outlook add in. -> Attempted Workaround - Using fetch with EWS SOAP Request: I tried invoking the DeleteAttachment operation via a fetch call to the EWS endpoint. However, EWS response states "requested web method is not allowed for this application". 2. OWA Limitation: As OWA in this environment only supports Office.js up to version 1.5, the modern attachment Office JS APIs and Graph APIs are not an option. Question: In an Exchange On-Premises scenario, how can I programmatically delete attachments via my add-in? Specifically, is there a recommended approach to obtain a valid token for EWS requests, or any supported alternative to perform DeleteAttachment? Any way to convert EWS attachment ID to Office JS attachment UUID? Additional Notes: I am aware that Exchange Online supports more modern APIs (Graph/REST), but my current deployment is strictly Exchange On-Premises. The add-in works well for reading attachments and other operations, except for deletion. Any guidance or recommendations would be highly appreciated! Thank you in advance.233Views0likes1CommentOWA Upload and Share Permissions
Hello...I have a user using OWA (University - Microsoft 365 A5 license) who is experiencing a new scenario/error msg., when initiating the "upload and share" option to share a locally stored file as an email attachment (gets uploaded by default to their OneDrive Attachments folder) when sending OWA email messages to colleagues. The email will send with the attachment icon/link, but recipients don't have access to it and have to choose the "request access" option, where then the user/sender can approve the request for access. The error msg., is "you don't have permission to give others access to file X" and the filename that is uploaded has red text (normally it is blue). The users has tested this scenario on multiple computers w/ multiple browsers, and changed the upload OneDrive folder location, with the same result. I can initiate the same scenario on the same computers, browsers, and files, while signed onto my OWA account w/ out issue. The user's Mailbox has a small quota size and their OneDrive account does as well. This started about two weeks ago, though as far as I know, no University Enterprise changes were made to the users account. Not sure what to look at for a solution so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!Solved213Views0likes1CommentAttaching files from an unmanaged device via OWA with conditional Access
Hi We are running conditional access with app enforced restrictions set in both Exchange online and SharePoint. and provide access via OWA Our settings are set to Exchange online CA Policy - read only Sharepoint from unmanaged devices , web access- only These work well and prevent saving of attachments to personal devices and the save location is limited to One Drive. The issue we have is that when a user attempts to attach a file from an unmanaged device, they are getting an error "The following couldn't be attached xxxxx.doc. Please try again later. Does anyone know if this is a limitation of applying conditional access or do we have a potential issue. Thanks1.9KViews0likes3CommentsCant no longer change OWA's signature
Hello all, I am trying to update my Outlook Web's signature with Powershell, like I always do, with the "Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration" command, but the signature is not updated. But "Get-MailboxMessageConfiguration" shows that the new signature is there OWA allows now for some people/organitations to manage multiple signatures, but I can't find any documentation/information about that. So, how I can modify the already existing signature? Or, how I can create a new signature?12KViews6likes16Comments
