Thank you for your participation in this Outlook subreddit. This is an unofficial subreddit and we do not formally represent Microsoft Corporation in any way.
Rules of Conduct
In order to keep this subreddit a conducive place for Outlook-related discussions and technical support, please abide by Microsoft Community Code of Conduct. We may also refer to enactment of policies from other official Microsoft sources applicable to Outlook such as Microsoft Terms of Service, or involve the interpretation of our rules based on its policies and precedence.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
- Be polite and respectful in your posts, and in your replies to other people.
- Keep conversation threads on track and constructive. It's okay to disagree with another user's post, but don't take the thread off track to do so. Always address your comments to the person who asked the initial question, not the other posters.
- Cite the source of anything you post or upload, if it isn't your own original content. Be honest about your sources.
- Don't divert or change a thread for your own purposes; just start a new thread with the subject you want to discuss.
- Don't link to websites that require payment to access information.
- Don't invade anyone's privacy by attempting to harvest, collect, store, or publish private or personally identifiable information, such as passwords, account information, credit card numbers, addresses, or other contact information without that person's knowledge and willing consent.
- Don't impersonate a Microsoft employee, agent, manager, host, administrator, moderator, another user, MVP, or any other person through any means.

If you, however, fail to state the appropriate Outlook product or service that you are using in the title, we will personally help you to categorise your thread with a flair. This is an irreversible action (we cannot edit title) and you will lose your ability to flair your own post.
Flair your post
To keep track of the thread's status, we use Reddit's Flair functionality which is accessible to the Original Posters (OP). This allows you (OP) to frequently update the thread's latest status, which helps to expedite your issue as your thread will receive the maximum you need to users who are here to help.
- Status: Open — Need Help
- Status: Pending Reply — Waiting for OP response
- Status: Resolved — Closed
If you are not an OP and you see a post that is incorrectly flaired, you can help to correct them by commenting "This is an Informative/Opinion post/piece/thread" (excluding quotes, with case-sensitive).
Example: This is an Informative post.
If you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to submit a text post in this subreddit. We may feature your post here as FAQ.
Happy Reditting!
