Outlook mail black background
Hi , One of my users has a bizarre issue whereby only the body received emails have a black background. Toolbars and the rest of the app are system default. This is both in reading paneand when opening mail. I have checked his appearance settings and they are Office background - no background Office Theme - Use system setting. Also mode sure windows is not in high contrast mode screenshot below, excuse green redactionsSOLUTION: New Outlook removed "switch back to old outlook" button.
This is for anyone else who no longer sees the button to switch back to the old outlook. I have included step by step photos to get back to the old outlook! First click "Help" at the top left. Below "Help" should bring up another menu, now select "Feedback". Now look to the very right and you should see the option to select a feedback option, select "Report a problem". Now you should see a box where you can type what the problem is, make sure to clearly mention that you cannot switch back to the old outlook, the button is missing and you want to switch back to the old outlook, this is important because when you submit this answer it will scan your message and generate possible solutions. Once you've filled out the box with your problem, scroll down, click yes or no on both options (it doesn't matter what you choose but you need to select an answer for both), then click "Submit" at the bottom. It will diagnose the problem and match you up with one or more possible solutions, make sure you see this one below that says "toggling out of the new outlook for windows preview", DO NOT CLICK "Yes" AT THE BOTTOM or it will end the feedback and assume you got your answer and you will need to restart this process. Instead you need to click on the arrow that is circled in this picture. Freedom awaits, now click on "Do it for me" and it will automatically take you back to the old outlook. Congratulations! You've graduated from this circus of chaos and confusion.Farewell, and may your future endeavors be as comforting and delightful as a slice of warm, homemade buttered bread.
Calendar shared, person able to edit not just view despite settings
I added an event to my calendar from a different email account and added my primary account as a person/invite. My primary account is shared with someone but as view only permissions. They were able to accept the invite sent to MY primary account? Why do they have access to this when they are set as view only?Mail & Calendar Apps Will Be Replaced with New Outlook for Windows December 2024

Inbox not picking up all emails
After someone said they had emailed me, and I couldn't see the email, I resent the email by clicking reply on my sent email, and their email response came up sitting before my response. But it could not be seen in the Inbox. It happened again today, only this time I noticed I had received an email OK from the same person about a different subject. Other emails are coming through from other people and I haven't identified any other missing emails.

Current State: Currently, you can create and assign a category to a contact card. However, you can not easily delete the actual Category. Background Info:The categories for contacts in New Outlook are separate from the Inbox and Calendar categories. The Delete a category icon in the People Tab appears to have been missed. Workaround Solution: I had to remove the category from each contact by pressing the X by the category. Then, I closed and reopened New Outlook, and the category was no longer in the left navigation in the People tab. More Information:I know Microsoft is working on improvements for Contacts. I have reported this issue. If you find this information helpful, please mark it as best response. /Teresa #traccreations4e 02/05/2024
Newest Outlook version doesn't open pdf in Acrobat
My Outlook was updated to the newest version a few days ago and I'm having issues with opening PDF attachments in my default PDF viewer. Before, you could click the attachment in the email and get a preview but if you were to fully open the attachment it would open in my default application. When I click on it I get this viewer instead of it going directly to Adobe PDF. If I have to download it, I would prefer to save it as a location that I choose. I can go to Acrobat and open the downloaded files, but that is extra steps. Any suggestions?I need to print an entire email thread, not one email at a time.
Ihaveanemailchainofabout11emailsthatIneedtodownloadintoapdfandIcan'tfigureitout. I've tried online and the Outlook app and I just cannot get it to work. I've googled and searched in here and no, I can't find the answer. So, HELP, please!
New outlook and acrobat javascript issues
I have a PDF that has a button to email the doc. It is not working since I upgraded to the new outlook. It seems to work the email opens with the pdf attached and when I send it the the email disappears but it does not send the email. The javascript in Acrobat is as follows: this.mailDoc({cSubject: this.documentFileName}); This worked until I upgraded to the new outlook. Any help in fixing would be greatly appreciated. Thank You I have attached some picturesNew Outlook Deleting/Not Recognising Hyperlinks (Bentley project wise)
New outlook does not seem able to parse project wise links which start with PW://. But not only that it doesn't recognise them as links at all. Emails received with PW:// links are simply ignored and treated as plain text. Replying to the email, the link then is correctly formatted as a hyperlink, but right clicking and 'edit' the link field is blank. This is on any email account. Switching back to legacy outlook and the emails are fine. This is in both outlook for windows and outlook for Mac.Problems with Quick Steps in Outlook New
Sure! Here is the translation: "I am having issues with Quick Steps in the new version of Outlook. I have recreated them, but they appear blocked or as if they cannot be executed. However, sometimes they become available in a somewhat random manner. Can someone help me?"Automatic Activation of Automatic Responses when selecting "Out of Office" as the Appointment Status
Why doesn't outlook automatically activate "automatic responses" when an user sets an appointment on the calender with an "out of office" status. Literally the entire premise for automatic responses is for when an user is out of the office, so how is this not an existing feature? Another option would be to have a checkbox or an option to select "send automatic responses" when creating the appointment, or upon selecting "out of office" as the "show as" status.
Duplicate emails in INBOX
I have emails being auto-forwarded from a business Rackspace IMAP account. Every once in a while I received an email from another Outlook user that duplicates even if I read it or delete it...it still floods in and jams up my inbox so that I no longer have room in my Rackspace account and it turns away incoming emails. SO FRUSTRATING! 1. Why is this happening? 2. How do I find these duplicate emails once the glitch occurs (I dont always know it is happening)? 3. How do I stop an incoming email from duplicating?
Locked out of account
Hi. I recently changed my mobile phones and I swapped the data from my old phone to new. My outlook email account and authentication app both asked for my login and passwords. This is where my issue started. I couldn’t remember my password and I tried to reset this however my account has a 2 factor authentication on it. I cannot continue to the 2nd request as it asks for a code from the authentication app which I cannot access due to the password issue. So I’m stuck, going around in circles trying to reset my password without any luck. So I’ve found out that it takes 30 days to correct my account, which I cannot wait for as this is my main account for emails causing me to miss important emails . Please can anyone help as I’m all for increased security but this is just ridiculousOutlook for Windows: Timelines, Benefits, and Feature Availability
Yes, some end-users either "love or just hate" New Outlook for Windows. However, it is here to stay (respectfully said), and I am here to help you with the transition. Microsoft has announced the next stage, Opt-Out Stage, dates for 2025 and 2026 for work and school accounts. I have created a video that discusses my perspective on "What's Ahead in 2025 and Why It Matters" for you and your organization. I also cover feature availability by status. Video: https://youtu.be/QJBf_FPyBKk Remember, for the free Outlook accounts, the transition starts in January 2025, when you can no longer return to Classic Outlook. I have a video playlist with tutorials if you are interested. 📹Video Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz10kTfM1gnF3x6mcGVfMX-51urg9a1lt&si=jrzVMJ9ikh0RPY1U 📹Outlook Updates Playlist: New Outlook Updates - YouTube traccreation4e 10/10/2024
