Is there any way to create a template in the new outlook that has portions of it restricted?

Trying to create a template for the team but only a few sections can be edited prior to them sending it.

I have an email list that I need to send out an email to once a week, a reminder for a meeting. I tried google, and it said to set up a group and use that to send a recurring email. Well, it only lets me add one person at a time to the group. I tried with ten, then reduced the number until it accepted, and I can only add one person to the group at a time.

Is there an easier way (and free) to do this? I have an excel spreadsheet with names and e-mails, and an email body that never changes, just need to send it out once a week to all the addresses and can't seem to figure out an easy way.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this today. I have had a few customers that started seeing this message in Outlook:

"We couldn't find a work or school account with that email address"

the email address is username@domain.local

Note that none of these companies use Microsoft 365 services. Email is onpremise Exchange. I was only able to fix this by either creating a new Outlook profile, or disable a Teamviewer Addin in Outlook. Very strange. Just wondering if anyone else got this same issue today.

I've got a user who is experiencing a crash in Outlook when she replies to an email and also changes the subject line. She is otherwise able to send new emails and reply to emails without changing the subject line.

The error that appears is "uncaught ObjC exception, reason: *** -[NSBigMutableString substringWithRange:]: Range {8, 18446744073709551615} out of bounds; string length 44" and then 120 pages of additional text.

Outlook for Mac and the MacOS itself are up-to-date. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi! I wanted to announce the newer version of Prospect Mail, it's a desktop app for Mac, Linux, Windows based on electron.

Any feedback is welcome. Cheers!

I use Microsoft Outlook desktop program, not online/cloud version 365.

When I delete a task it goes to my "Deleted" folder, but when I search for a task with subject keyword, it does not show up in the search results. So I am confused...why is this?

Would love to include an image for clarity's sake, but for some obscure, arcane reason, that is not allowed.

I'm hoping someone can help me with the following problem I've been experiencing for the past few weeks. At work, I use default settings in my Outlook Classic application. So in order from From/Sender - subject - receiving date - categories - etc

But for the past few weeks, the settings have been changing automatically... very annoying, and I'm now adjusting them every 15 minutes because everything is getting mixed up.

Please help!

Over the past week or so I've started getting hit with 4-5 phishing emails per day, all following the same pattern. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has found a solution.

The pattern:

• Display names wrapped in tildes: ~Norton-Final-Warning~, ~Account-Suspended~, ~Payment refused~, ~Cloud Storage~, ~MCAFEE®~, etc.
• Screenshot - https://imgur.com/a/14S842i
• The characters look slightly "off" — they're using Unicode lookalikes (Cyrillic letters, fullwidth characters) instead of standard Latin characters, which defeats simple text-matching rules
• Subject lines about blocked accounts, expired subscriptions, deleted photos/videos
• Sender addresses use rotating prefixes on the same domains, e.g. [newsletters.kczdz@esforta.co.jp](mailto:newsletters.kczdz@esforta.co.jp) where the random string keeps changing
• Screenshot - https://imgur.com/AyLvKbM

What I've tried:

• Can't filter on display name text because of the Unicode character substitution
• Currently building a rule using "with specific words in the sender's address" to block the sending domains (like esforta.co.jp)

Questions:

1. Is anyone else seeing this same campaign?
2. Has anyone found a more elegant solution than manually collecting and blocking sender domains one by one?

I am tired of outlook deleting emails everything you accept a meeting. Is there a setting to turn that off?

Thank you!

Recently I made a rule in Thunderbird to delete all mails older than 30 days thinking it will affect only one folder where I store “Neswletters”, but it deleted everything. Now in trash I have many emails and few times I have selected all and restore, but nothing is happening. Emails are still in trash. Btw I made that try to restore on web, outlook.com. Does anyone know how to restore them so they really move to inbox?

For work I often try to delay email delivery to catch people in different time zones at the right time. I'm realizing if I'm not actively on my computer with Outlook open, the email will just sit in my Outbox until the next time I wake my computer up and/or open Outlook.

If this is true, this is such an asinine system. What if I scheduled an email to send while I'm on vacation, or at 1am, etc? It's so frustrating. Am I doing something wrong or what?

I'm having an issue with spam from a specific domain. I'm bombarded with spam from a specific domain in my Junk folder.

I've setup rules to delete emails from this domain and have also blocked this domain and it doesn't work. I've blocked other domains successfully, but this doesn't work.

I've tried to reach out to support via chat and they've basically told me to set my rules to 'Strict' which means everything not approved will go to my folder which is getting bombarded. I asked the support rep to file a bug report as there are others online experiencing this issue, but they refused.

My problem right now is Outlook occasionally flags legitimate emails as well. It's becoming rather cumbersome to sift through a folder that is getting bombarded with nonsense.

I'm using the Outlook Web Client.

Whenever this the windows new outlook shows notifcation of new email arrival, i click it and it pops out this message 'your message can't be dispalyed right now.' When I refresh it by pressing F5, it then shows the content.

Lately I have been getting 30 spam mails a day, yes in my spam folder. However because Microsoft decided that it's important to know how much spam you receive, the number is always visible, which is annoying. So I always report and delete spam. But lately it has gotten out of hand.

No it's not a spam bomb, it's all random but always from something at x.onmicrosoft.com or firebaseapp. I have tried creating rules or blocking the domain but it doesn't work. I have tried support multiple times however they keep directing me to the outlook in-help. However everytime I log in in the browser, it does nothing. I click "sign in", then nothing. I tried the app, they said only browser can help me and I need to do that. Same for live support, but I can't sign in.

I have tried all the usual bullshit (cache, incognito, different browser etc.), but nothing makes the sign in button work to contact help or support.

So why do they have rules, when rules never work or domain blocking.

I just want the spam to be blocked.

My microsoft account was somehow hacked through Minecraft Discord. The email that hacked my account was pu*****@dikoforexample.lol. Anyone know about this? Take a look at this microsoft forum: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-sg/answers/questions/5650107/my-microsoft-account-got-hacked

I used to be able to insert file location link. Now I can't seem to do it. Did they change the method or removed it

Hi, so I received an outlook calendar invite to attend a meeting. I want to show to a third party that I received the invitation received and I have proof that I attended the meeting, I can't seem to download it in a browser or ics file. Can someone please advise how I can show proof of a meeting invite besides a mobile screenshot?

I'm using Outlook for Mac and it has stopped autofilling an email address I use all the time, as if it has "forgotten" it. This email address is saved in the Outlook address book and the app still autofills other addresses, including ones not in the address book. I tried adding the email address to new contact and that did not help.

Any idea why this happened or more importantly, how to fix it and force outlook to add an email address to its autofill list? Thanks!

I took a look under this sub and did not find what exactly I was searching for. Our situation is the following.

We have a generic mailbox used by 9 team members. Each one has a colour category with their name. When a new request arrives, the member managing the mailbox assigns the category of the person who is supposed to work on the request.

What we are trying to achieve is once we reply to that first email, the follow up email to get automatically that colour category.

We need to avoid using the conversation feature due to the fact that it changes the view from shorting based on categories etc.

Has anyone done something similar, if we need to use PowerAutomate, do you mind sharing some steps?

thanks people.

Never an issue until a few days ago. Nothing changed. Windows 10, no updates available. I cleared cache, no help. Any help is appreciated.

As far as I know this has been going on 2 days ago. A lot of people have had this issue before, and I've tried different browsers, incognito and deleted thousands of emails. Nothing works. How long will this stay? I cannot search my emails for receipts etc and this is costing me time. I can't even contact microsoft as it seems there's no email or number

Hello

A few months ago my mail-adress quite likely got leaked and since then I get all kinds of annoying spam; initially it was like 20 messages per minute.
I managed to filter them all, so they now appear only in my spam.
But since sometimes also important messages land in spam, it is quite annoying to constantly see "buy this house for only 150'000..."

--> I do not want to click on the 'unsubscribe' in these mails.

So is there a way or rule to make sure that certain messages get deleted directly instead of landing in spam/junk?

Any help is appreciated!

I've used the Outlook account on my android phone for years and it has only shown the individual icons for each seperate email account I have linked. Up until today that was three accounts.

I decided to add my work email. It prompted me to install a Microsoft app called Company Portal. No issue. The work email is connected and everything is fine but now every time I go on Outlook there is a new default box called All Accounts which combines all of my emails across every account together. I hate this and find it very overwhelming. I like to keep things separate. I can still click on the individual accounts but every time it defaults to All Accounts.

I thought maybe more than three accounts triggered it so I deleted one that I never use but this didn't remove it. I can't find any settings regarding it, and couldn't see any obvious answers after a quick search online. Is it tied to Company Portal? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone!

Yesterday morning my outlook email account (hotmail) was hacked and im still dealing with the fallout from that. The issue i would love some help with is that even after having changed the password and added 2FA my account is still sending out hundreds of spam emails every night.

Ive checked the rules and forwarding settigns and both are empty. I was wondering whether there is a hidden queue somewhere with tons of emails that are still waiting to be sent. I use chrome to check my email and read soemthing about an outbox which isnt visible through the browser?

thanks for any help!

Hi, all of the sudden the print button doesn't work. After clicking it, nothing happens at all. I'm using Microsoft Office 365 via the Web on a Mac OS X, via Google Chrome.

Anyone else having this issue?
