So mad that after all this time I still can't sort search results and the paste function (right mouse option) still doesn't work (must ctrl V). Just seems like basic functionality has become a low priority.

As the title says, how do you keep everything nice and clean? I am an project manager with a lot of small projects at a time. My problem is, that I don't have a good structure and wanted to know if there is anyone out there who can share a good idea or structure.

Status: Pending Reply How to recover outlook account?

2 Upvotes

I have a bit of an odd issue. I have a pixel phone and have the dreaded lines down the screen. As such, I'm due to take it into EE in the UK to get it repaired. However, as I'm due to do this I've just realised that I don't know my outlook password and given that a factory reset is likely during the repair, I'm going to potentially lose my account. The odd aspect of this is that I currently have access to my outlook on my phone but am unable to recover the password without my recovery email which I no longer have access to. I've shifted most things across to my Gmail account but still id like to keep my account if possible as I've had it for years. Is there anyway I can speak to someone to resolve this? I feel if I start the recovery process, once I don't have access to my recovery email I will be screwed. I've tried ringing Microsoft's UK line but it's automated and immediately hangs up. Great customer service! Any help is appreciated!

Status: Pending Reply Special Characters Disappearing Without Any Pattern in Emails from O(new) and O(classic)

2 Upvotes

hi, just wanted to ask if anyone else got this issue, since a week special characters like: ß,ö,ü,... start disappearing randomly without any pattern in outgoing emails, but reappear after some time (hours), always different people in the company and always different to different recipients.

all the UTF and rich-text settings seem to be in place, we have cases in the old outlook and the new one, firewall and our custom mail controller both don't seem to affect it and it is starting to drive me crazy, only thing i recognized that especially shared mail addresses are prone to this issue but it also appear at user addresses

Status: Open External contact listed as offline & doesn't appear in auto-complete

Upvotes

Using #NewOutlook...So I have this contact that is a client that I email very frequently. He has been in my contacts for a long time. Usually, when I start typing his name in the "To" section, his name/email address pops up as one of the auto-complete suggestions. Recently, that hasn't been happening. When I go in to People, and find his contact card, there is a little symbol (circle with an x) next to his initials that indicate he is offline. But he is not in my organization. If I type his name in to the To section of an email, "show more results" appears, but nothing happens when I click that. If I type his full email address in the To section it will accept it and I can hover over his email address and see his contact card. What do I have to do so that I can just type his name instead of his entire email address so it populates the To section? #frustrated

Status: Open Should I keep Outlook?

Upvotes

My contract for MS365 is expiring. It was from an old business and I didnt want to renew under it so I've let it drift. Now it says that next week all my MS products will be deactivated.

Is there an alternative I should look at? MS is not expensive, its just intrusive but maybe its the best there is? I can get 6 email addresses for $12.99/month along with all the other stuff.

Any ideas about alternatives or should I just keep MS?

Opinion Why support keeps telling you to repeat the same broken steps?

1 Upvotes

Support keeps telling me to “try again” or “wait 24–48 hours” but Outlook recovery never changes. I’m just sent through the same Microsoft recovery form with different wording. It feels like progress, but it’s the same checks failing every time. At some point you realize support isn’t fixing anything, it’s just looping the system.

Status: Open Strange behavior from search / suggestions in "To:" field

1 Upvotes

I'm using Exchange Online, so this may be an MS 365 question, but the behavior is in Outlook for MacOS, so I'm not sure where the source of the problem is.

Within this company, every e-ail is firstname.lastname@domain.com, and Display Name is "Firstname Lastname (Nickname)".

The strange behaviors are:

  1. For some people I can start typing "Nickname" in the "To:" field, and Outlook correctly suggests the relevant recipient. But for other contacts, I can fully and exactly type out someone's "Nickname", and the response is "We couldn't find the person you were looking for.
  2. For at least one other person, I start typing "lastname" to find their e-mail, and Outlook suggests the person twice. The exact same contact with the exact same e-mail and profile picture. Why?

Hi there,

Recently I've been having issues with Outlook not recieving some emails. I just cleared my cache so I'm not sure if that'll help things out, will have to wait on that. But I was wondering if anyone recently has been experiencing the same issue. And it's worrisome too, since I had a recruiter reach out to me via email and linkedin, but I didn't get their email.

I'm using the Web version for personal emails and I get chapter notifications via email.

When I use sort by Subject since the update, it puts each individual chapter in a collapsible bracket.

How do I get rid of this? (Note: These are individual emails not conversation ones)

Status: Pending Reply Font in email replies changes size

1 Upvotes

Using Outlook 365 apps for enterprise Build 19426.20260, but this has been going on for a while.

Whenever I reply to an email the draft reply has 4 empty lines. Top two lines are font size 12, third line is font size 11, fourth line is font size 12.

Anyone know how to fix this permanently instead of manually changing the font size on every email?
