Many new features I would love to use. But not at the expense of a downgraded functionality. New Outlook is left wanting and reminds me of the last fiasco. One note.

For the life of me I've been trying to find "Rules" in the new Outlook. I've expanded the ribbon but it's the basic one in the beginning of your video but around 5:22 your ribbon is much more detailed with other functions including "Rules". I looked everywhere on how to add this but can't seem to find it. Any advice?
I tried it a few times (new outlook) but as simple features do not work I returned to the old version. Examples - Arranging the area from/title/recived time … is kinda difficult (and not as flexible) compared to the old version. - If I select an email and click to sort the inbox by title or sender … it does so … but forgets the email I have chosen and goes to the top (frustrating) (I use this to try and track the history of the tread. I could use the build in feature of outlook but as the people responding don’t always do so to the latest email or come from outside the organization (changes the subject) the inbuilt feature to sort by “tread” does not work well … so I do it my self 😊) - Finding out who had responded to a meeting invite … I gave up - and a more personal ting … the color was to uniform
Definitely need more colour schemes. I like visible lines between separate things in my GUI (buttons, list of emails etc). This smooth design just makes things more difficult to perceive.
This is without any shadow of a doubt a GAME CHANGER! I had tried multiple times to get my head around the new outlook....and reverted back as many times...never again! Thank-you so much, it's a fantastic tutorial.
Thank you very much for the tips, Scott. My company used Gmail until 2023, and this year we switched to the Microsoft platform, and I’m loving it. There are so many tools and possibilities for connectivity. I’m still a bit lost due to the vast range of products, but your channel has helped me get to know some of them better. As for Outlook, we’ve been with Microsoft since January 2024, and it was already in this version. The transition from Gmail to Microsoft was quite productive because I consider it more comprehensive and connected. For the “old” Outlook users, it must have been quite painful. I hope they adapt quickly ❤ In fact, I'm now using Copilot to help me translate this message from Portuguese to English 😍
I work for an international nonprofit and my group alone covers about 5 shared email boxes. The new way Outlook handles shared inboxes is terrible. And you can’t even favorite them to keep them in view easily. Hope this gets changed. We have dipped our feet into the new outlook, but we have all turned it off mainly because of that horrible new change. Great video by the way!
sure you can favorite them , i just disabled favorites not 15 minutes ago , i hated it until i started playing around with it , everyone says this and that are missing , i thought so too , not the case you just have to learn it , you can even import old outlook settings , once you play with it and get it set up for you its awsome
We are still. using the old version as our Head of IT refers to the new Outlook as a "dumpster fire". They (Microsoft) need to have Executive Assistants on their testing team because from what I have heard from other assistants, there are many issues if you are a delegate for other inboxes.
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed seeing the ease of scheduling new meetings. However there a several features that this new outlook doesn't have and why I will continue to use the old version. 1. You mentioned flagging the emails to out into the todo list. Why should we have to use another app when the old version has it all into one. Where you flag and set reminders (which is perfect for follow up emails) now we are having togo through another step to do what I was doing before when daily flag reminders were already on the right hand side if you choose to view it that way. Not to mention when a reminder would come up you could double click and see the entire email chain, and now you don't. You only see that 1 email. 2. In the old version you were able to to add "short hand key strokes" like typing "ty" would automatically spell out Thank you. This feature was found in the spelling and auto correct setting where you designate a few key to spell out sentences or to use common phrases often. (Which I do hourly! ) With this new version you are less efficient because this feature is no longer available. 3. In the old version it didn't matter if you capitalize the first word. It would auto capitalize for you. This new version doesn't do that. Not to mention to select a word is the opposite click button. For these reason alone I won't switch to the new version. I have tried dozen of times (I know new thing are learning curves) however when it's causing me to type out common uses sentence, use another app when i was using only 1 before or do multiple steps when I didn't have to before. It ends up being a hindrance and less effective.

New Outlook is getting there, but a show stopper for me is that shared mailboxes are not (yet) supported. A major irritation is the handling of attachments in incoming mails: The only options available are to save an attachment file to OneDrive or to download the file. Darag and drop and copy->paste are not available option.
Was just saying the same not getting access to my shared mailboxes makes it a no and headache for me very versus enjoying all the new functionality and tools
I love trying new versions of apps. I am one of those who tried, honestly tried, for a couple of weeks and had to switch back. I can get used to the UI but I was having trouble with functionality. My biggest complaint was I couldn’t right click an attachment copy/paste into a folder or another email. I couldn’t drag a file from an email. I couldn’t drag an email to my desktop (to later forward as an attachment). This was a couple of months ago so I don’t know if any of that has been addressed or if I just couldn’t figure it out. Great video. I WANT to love it.
I had this trouble, too, until I figured out that you can "save as" the e-mail itself or just the document (with the download button). The file comes up in the right-hand corner, and you can drag and drop it anywhere you like.
@@processspumparab5068 I've turned it back on and I'm really trying to make this work. One thing I do a lot is copy/paste attachments from 1 email into another. Looks like this isn't available and I have to download and attach rather than just keeping it within Outlook.
I'm actually still underwhelmed by the new Outlook. Yeah, it has some new features, but from what I can see, there won't be any VBA integration like with the client version. Plus, no more .pst files. For those of us who use VBA to automate routines between applications (and have built custom VBA Outlook macros for clients), we appear to be screwed. And without .pst files, there's no offline backup or archiving capability. The only saving grace will be whether Microsoft continues to provide and support the Outlook client. I have no use for the new Outlook.
Is it possible that Power Automate could handle some of this or it has to be client based for local application access? I can see this being problematic as it’s essentially just a portal to the web Outlook on desktop.
@@kandmlane5097 It may be possible to some degree, but some of my current macros do a lot of gruntwork saving and manipulating attachments on user's local machine, so I'll have to see what Power Automate can do in that regard. It just ticks me off that something that's been supported by Microsoft for decades and could still do so if they wanted to may be going away.
@@kandmlane5097 I believe you are correct about it being a portal to the web version. That would explain why there are missing functions. It isn't really an app, it's just a link that masquerades as an app.
Which outlook you're using ....the outlook which is now available dont have the toolbar on the top (new email) etc options.....i want to mail merge with certain time interval in between the emails.....pleaseeee help
me too. tried it twice. reverted to old version and stayed on it new doesn't work as expected, things are missing (groups, calendars) and its unbelievable that Microsoft allows themselves such a thing :thumbsdown:
I organize my emails in folders by project and there is a setting in the original Outlook desktop that when you reply to an email it will put it in the folder that you sent it from. How do you do this in the New Outlook?
I found this video to be very helpful. I learn visually and seeing the process of how to open tabs was helpful for me tremendously. I will refer back to this video as I practice improving my skills. Thank you so much.
This was a great summary Scott. I had not realized a couple of points you made which clarified an issue I had using the New Outlook. I was looking in the wrong place. I use the New Outlook all the time now and am encouraging all of our leadership/supervisor teams to begin using it as it is going to be going away (allegedly) this Fall. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video. There is a lot of difference between de "Rules feature" in the current Outlook and the new one. Do you know if Microsoft is going to reduce those differnces ?
Hello, I hope everything is well. I have a question about the new Outlook app. Is there any way to back up emails, like creating PST or OST files? Thank you for your help!
Heyy !, So i actually wanted some help with the new outlook which is recently launched. Now in the old or the regular outlook whenever we had any emails with attachments, double clicking on them could open the attachments in your desktop ms office word or excel or ppt. But with this new Outlook, it only allows you to save the document first and then open in the desktop apps. If not saved it redirects to onedrive and then opens the document in a browser. This issue has been there since the start. Now i have a MS 365 subscription in my MS Office and i use multiple accounts but since i have a 365 subscription i should be able to open the attachments in desktop apps, but there is an issue where if i open any attachment from my licensed account it allows me, but in the same outlook if i go to another account (you can add multiple accounts but can have same license) it doesnt open in the desktop apps. I am attaching a few screenshots which might help you out understand the problem. So i want to know if there is an option to open all attachments in desktop apps as the old outlook used to
Very helpful indeed. Thanks. The pity is that there were several glitches in the new Outlook which distracted from getting to grips with its capabilities. One such glitch remains, which is the persistence of read emails re-appearing as unread when the program re-opens: this only happens with some emails which makes it more puzzling. As you say at the start of your video, people have been switching back and forth between the old and new Outlooks: I've finally settled on the new as the old Outlook has developed glitches of its own - maybe Microsoft's way of forcing migration.
Good video. As a problem, i see many tools of outlook do not work when your email it is not an outlook account; I beleive the cassic or old version is still better
Hi Scott I think that you have saved my sanity!! Helpful information with a good delivery, thank you! As a 70 plus year old dyslectic crumbly who only uses the email package to send simple emails with a few images copied over from a Word document, I don't like the new package. (I don't have 365) I like to work in Word as the spelling/grammar there is a huge help for folks like me. I have two problems, in the old system I could see all incoming emails for the three separate email accounts that we have, which was great, I can't do that now, can that be changed without having to select them one after the other? I used to be able to copy and paste a word document and, using 'Keep source formatting,' simply past a complete piece of work into an email, I can't do that now, the pictures don't come across, even with HTML selected. What am I doing wrong? Thank you so very much. Kind regards . . . Andy
Thanks for the video. Very instructive. I like this new version but I'm missing nice features from the old one like "Collapse all" also the horizontal bar.
ok, 0:19 I had to stop. I wasn't overwhelmed by the new features, I was underwhelmed and stupified by the lack of old features they left out: can't favorite your shared inboxes, can't use shared mailbox categories anymore (only have your personal ones available), can't copy a calendar event and paste it, NO GRAY mode (white is too white and black is too hard to read contrast with letters), GRAY is the mid-ground and they got rid of it), the list goes on...
All other software moves forward, must Microsoft now leave things for years unchanged - I don't think so, we would not be here where we are today of things did not change often.
@@synthwave7But this wasn't a move forward. It's backwards. Now it's an unstable platform missing features. Nothing of value was added. I work in IT and supporting this new version has been a nightmare.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 You can bet Microsoft has capitulated to serving up your data to the government and making it a bit more easier. All emails are intercepted and reviewed by the government for over 30 years.

Thank you for your video, do you guys know if "Quick parts" is available is this version? I used to use it and it was in the insert tab when writing a new email but I cant find it now... Help pls
As far as I understand, this is the "Free" slimmed down version of the paid Outlook 2021, 2019, 365 etc. I've only briefly tried it, can it import existing .pst files and fully support pop and/or imap ?
When I was working for a local authority we used outlook. I used to get outlook to sort my emails. For instance anything from someone outside of the LA I’d get it to put in one folder. Any emails from my boss went into another folder. Can that still be done? I can’t see how.
How do we save attachments from emails? I find that I have to download them and then go and manually save them in a different location. Also keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work stop. I used to use them in the past to categorise my mails and meetings.
Do I need to try the new outlook? What happens if I leave that switched off? Will I be given no choice in future? Thank you for the very helpful video.
Hi Scott, thanks for the video.Question how would you see Addon-s like teams etc I am asking because check Com ins and VSTO installation so enabled or disabled andons is there a way to use plugins at all here ?
Compared to legacy outlook or something else? I’m happy with the new Outlook for the improvements over legacy. They finally got the rules added back in which I must have.
Support for PST. Identified as something it will support (future) doesn’t now. Support for Public folders. (Work around issued from Microsoft). Either do x y and z. So you can make it a favorite. Then still not same. Or. Stick with old Outlook. Deal killers. If these are not addressed. I don’t care. Don’t need want or benefit from an Outlook lite.
Are they crazy?!!!! just switched back to the old outlook and autocorrect spell check works great! But with the new version it just underlines misspellings in red - can't find ANY info on how to enable autosuggestion or autocorrect and if right click only offered options for formatting the fonts.
Hi Scott, thank you for the video. I have been finding it very challenging to add personalised domains email accounts to Outlook. Has this feature been discontinued and must users sign up to Microsoft 365 Business?

Hello, could you please create a new video explaining the correct way to dragging a dropping attachments, I can’t drop files directly to SharePoint or another location in file explorer app
The visual changes and integration with other apps are positives for me, but here is what is preventing me to change: 1 - Templates. ON the old version I could have templates with subject, to:, cc: and attachments. On the new version I can only have a template for the email body. 2 - Coversations VS Individual emails. Onthe old version I can have this applied by folder. I like to have my main inbox with individual emails but most folders in coversation view so emails are kept to together. On the new Outlook this seems to be possible to apply only to all the emails and not per folder.
Thanks for the tutorial. Question... why the options on the ribbon are different in my outlook? Seen this many times... Ex: the "Quick steps" never show in mine, and is something I use a lot! Anyone knows?
I cannot remember hating a new program so much, if they bring out something new, they should perhaps include the function to have the classic setup. I gave up on trying something as simple as coping colour test from Word into Outlook. One of my inboxes was showing 1 unread email, when in fact there was 7 unread.
I find pros and cons to it. I find it is a pain to attach emails as attachments to other emails. (not forward). Also saving as a file into a folder in windows explorer is a nightmare. I do like the conversation thread and how you can go through the conversation to find information.
For the life of me I've been trying to find "Rules" in the new Outlook. I've expanded the ribbon but it's the basic one in the beginning of your video but around 5:22 your ribbon is much more detailed with other functions including "Rules". I looked everywhere on how to add this but can't seem to find it. Any advice?
Excellent tutorial video on the new productivity features in the new Outlook. I'll be integrating several of these tips into my daily workflow. Much appreciated, Scott.
Hi I do not work (retired), the main feature I use in the Classic MS Outlook is the Calendar for all my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly appointments (I cannot function without my calendar - also, the other feature I use is Contacts So, teams, emails etc. are not important. But I use emails sometimes but mostly I use Gmail. I did switch to the new outlook, but I did not like it - so many features of the calendar are missing. I switched back to the classic outlook. My question is when I am forced to use the new outlook, are all my appointments / reminders will transfer over, also the customized quick access bar will exist?? Currently my outlook (MS office 365) is linked to iCloud for windows, So I have access to my calendar on my iPhone, my laptop and Desktop which helps me to add or update any appointment in any of the 3 that I use at home or if I am out and add new appointment on my iPhone - would this feature will exist ? Comments from RUclips blogger: Lots of people have tried it and switched back. Remember the new coke disaster in the 1980’s? Maybe this is the same!
Hello. May I ask how did u have “QUICK STEPS” in the ribbon above. I dont have Quick Steps in the NEW OUTLOOK. They said it was removed, but was it really removed or it just need some activation in the setting?
Our company has a large legacy of .pst archives that need to be available for reading. Microsoft kept promising to provide support, and it kept slipping, now reduced to possibly some time in the future. This is typical of MS projects - they start as ambitious, then the regular staff culling happens, then the feature set gets wound back, and it's released with known bugs that never get addressed.
HI Scott, great channel. I have a small question, in the old outlook I like to go to "day view" and press shift to pick multiple days to view on the calendar. For some reason it does not let me do this in the new version. Am I right, or am I missing something. Thank you for the video
Help! My New Outlook has been doing something really weird where it suddenly "jumps" up and the top part of the application, down to mid way through the "New Icon," is no longer viewable. I have to close out every New Outlook window including any drafts and restart it to get it to go back to normal where I can see the title bars. Any ideas how to resolve? (Note it also adds about an inch of totally blank area at the bottom).
Full of bugs! Keeps launching extra copies, mail you have read (gmail) goes back to unread, deleted mail returns, Sent items are later found in the drafts folder... And you get ads.
Not really sure why this version got pushed to customers. Company I work for just telling every customer trying to use this to switch to thunderbird. It just wont "sync". IMAP just isn't working we have no work around besides telling them to go with someone else.
Broski, looking to simply move folders up/down my list on the left hand side. Some important folders were moved down to the bottom of my list. Anyone have a tip?
How do I copy multiple files which are attached to an email and paste them to a local folder on my PC? It seems that you can only copy and paste (or drag) one at a time.
Question: Is there a way to set up an automatic reply or forward once you have color categorized an email.? For example, if I categorize an email BLUE it will automatically forward to a specific email - can we do this?
All those bells and whistles and yet Microsoft fail to include a spell checker incorporated into the software. This renders the Outlook platform useless, so ive had to switch back to using it in a browser in which the spell checker works seamlessly. Equally surprised that such a straight forward function hasnt been mentioned!!!
Thanks Scott - great news about integrations. Interested in the functionality of creating tasks from emails - so not sure this is the right video to comment on but... Is it possible to create a task straight into a premium plan in Planner. I cant seem to move or copy private tasks to a premium plan - I can do so to basic plans. From this recording it looks like the functionality goes straight to ToDo but in the interests of collaboration, I'd like to take out the long-hand copy/paste to a premium plan task. Information on if /when this might be possible is hard to find right now - any help appreciated.
The new Outlook still doesn't have conditional formatting to help with identifying email from certain senders. I do periodically check every few months, but ultimately end up switching back to the Classic Outlook.
Something as simple as selecting multiple attachments in an email is not possible in the new outlook. So disappointed with microsoft really. moving back to the old version. However ! Amazing video...
Oh god, I just want something simple, I'm an OAP and it gives me a headache trying to suss it all out! (I have tried!). Will be using the old version for as long as I can. One thing I couldn't work out was to see all my Inboxes (from 3 different email accounts) in one place?

@@processspumparab5068 I've turned it back on and I'm really trying to make this work. One thing I do a lot is copy/paste attachments from 1 email into another. Looks like this isn't available and I have to download and attach rather than just keeping it within Outlook.
@@processspumparab5068 Yes, you can also turn left by turning to the right 3 times.
I'm actually still underwhelmed by the new Outlook. Yeah, it has some new features, but from what I can see, there won't be any VBA integration like with the client version. Plus, no more .pst files. For those of us who use VBA to automate routines between applications (and have built custom VBA Outlook macros for clients), we appear to be screwed. And without .pst files, there's no offline backup or archiving capability. The only saving grace will be whether Microsoft continues to provide and support the Outlook client. I have no use for the new Outlook.
Is it possible that Power Automate could handle some of this or it has to be client based for local application access?
I can see this being problematic as it’s essentially just a portal to the web Outlook on desktop.
@@kandmlane5097 It may be possible to some degree, but some of my current macros do a lot of gruntwork saving and manipulating attachments on user's local machine, so I'll have to see what Power Automate can do in that regard. It just ticks me off that something that's been supported by Microsoft for decades and could still do so if they wanted to may be going away.
Being able to easily export an entire Mailbox including Contacts and Calendars into one file is one of the Greatest Features of Outlook...
@@kandmlane5097 I believe you are correct about it being a portal to the web version. That would explain why there are missing functions. It isn't really an app, it's just a link that masquerades as an app.
Turned it on. Tested, turned it off.
Which outlook you're using ....the outlook which is now available dont have the toolbar on the top (new email) etc options.....i want to mail merge with certain time interval in between the emails.....pleaseeee help
@@ImmortalShivay As a rule, you don't get any responses or help from these guys who do these videos. They post them and forget them.
Everyone I know absolutely hates it. It's missing many features that have been around for 30 years. It SUCKS!
me too. tried it twice. reverted to old version and stayed on it
new doesn't work as expected, things are missing (groups, calendars) and its unbelievable that Microsoft allows themselves such a thing :thumbsdown:
I organize my emails in folders by project and there is a setting in the original Outlook desktop that when you reply to an email it will put it in the folder that you sent it from. How do you do this in the New Outlook?
There are so many of these videos but this was the first one that was actually useful! Very clear and very practical - many thanks!
Your very welcome 😀
I haven't been motivated to try new Outlook before, but this overview has given me reasons for taking a look at it. Thanks
Missing too many features I use regularly. Tried for a day and switched back.
I found this video to be very helpful. I learn visually and seeing the process of how to open tabs was helpful for me tremendously. I will refer back to this video as I practice improving my skills. Thank you so much.
This was a great summary Scott. I had not realized a couple of points you made which clarified an issue I had using the New Outlook. I was looking in the wrong place. I use the New Outlook all the time now and am encouraging all of our leadership/supervisor teams to begin using it as it is going to be going away (allegedly) this Fall. Thanks again.
Thanks for your kind feedback 😁👍
Thank you for the video.
There is a lot of difference between de "Rules feature" in the current Outlook and the new one.
Do you know if Microsoft is going to reduce those differnces ?
Essential it will handle rules for imap accounts
Hello,
I hope everything is well. I have a question about the new Outlook app. Is there any way to back up emails, like creating PST or OST files?
Thank you for your help!
Heyy !,
So i actually wanted some help with the new outlook which is recently launched. Now in the old or the regular outlook whenever we had any emails with attachments, double clicking on them could open the attachments in your desktop ms office word or excel or ppt. But with this new Outlook, it only allows you to save the document first and then open in the desktop apps. If not saved it redirects to onedrive and then opens the document in a browser. This issue has been there since the start.
Now i have a MS 365 subscription in my MS Office and i use multiple accounts but since i have a 365 subscription i should be able to open the attachments in desktop apps, but there is an issue where if i open any attachment from my licensed account it allows me, but in the same outlook if i go to another account (you can add multiple accounts but can have same license) it doesnt open in the desktop apps. I am attaching a few screenshots which might help you out understand the problem.
So i want to know if there is an option to open all attachments in desktop apps as the old outlook used to
Very helpful indeed. Thanks. The pity is that there were several glitches in the new Outlook which distracted from getting to grips with its capabilities. One such glitch remains, which is the persistence of read emails re-appearing as unread when the program re-opens: this only happens with some emails which makes it more puzzling. As you say at the start of your video, people have been switching back and forth between the old and new Outlooks: I've finally settled on the new as the old Outlook has developed glitches of its own - maybe Microsoft's way of forcing migration.
Hey i am not being able synchronize my IMAP/POP email on the new outlook.
Do youy have any suggestions for that ?
Thanks. Helped a lot to make New Outlook easier to use.
Glad it helped! 😄
I like the new Outlook, but am disappointed that many features are not available for imap accounts. How long will this continue?
Good video. As a problem, i see many tools of outlook do not work when your email it is not an outlook account; I beleive the cassic or old version is still better
Hi Scott I think that you have saved my sanity!! Helpful information with a good delivery, thank you!
As a 70 plus year old dyslectic crumbly who only uses the email package to send simple emails with a few images copied over from a Word document, I don't like the new package. (I don't have 365) I like to work in Word as the spelling/grammar there is a huge help for folks like me. I have two problems, in the old system I could see all incoming emails for the three separate email accounts that we have, which was great, I can't do that now, can that be changed without having to select them one after the other? I used to be able to copy and paste a word document and, using 'Keep source formatting,' simply past a complete piece of work into an email, I can't do that now, the pictures don't come across, even with HTML selected. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so very much. Kind regards . . . Andy
Thanks for the video. Very instructive. I like this new version but I'm missing nice features from the old one like "Collapse all" also the horizontal bar.
ok, 0:19 I had to stop. I wasn't overwhelmed by the new features, I was underwhelmed and stupified by the lack of old features they left out: can't favorite your shared inboxes, can't use shared mailbox categories anymore (only have your personal ones available), can't copy a calendar event and paste it, NO GRAY mode (white is too white and black is too hard to read contrast with letters), GRAY is the mid-ground and they got rid of it), the list goes on...
Many thanks for your kind sharing this, but how do I put in color for Unread mail in New Outlook in Window 11?
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!!!
When will Microsoft learn?
All other software moves forward, must Microsoft now leave things for years unchanged - I don't think so, we would not be here where we are today of things did not change often.
@@synthwave7But this wasn't a move forward. It's backwards. Now it's an unstable platform missing features. Nothing of value was added. I work in IT and supporting this new version has been a nightmare.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 You can bet Microsoft has capitulated to serving up your data to the government and making it a bit more easier. All emails are intercepted and reviewed by the government for over 30 years. I personally knew a few of the contractors that wrote 'key word' programs to search for specific words at an Army base in Arizona.
Unfortunately in Big Companies, the Incompetent Clowns in Middle Management have to try and Justify their Existence by trying to fix stuff that's not broken...
Thank you for your video, do you guys know if "Quick parts" is available is this version? I used to use it and it was in the insert tab when writing a new email but I cant find it now... Help pls
As far as I understand, this is the "Free" slimmed down version of the paid Outlook 2021, 2019, 365 etc. I've only briefly tried it, can it import existing .pst files and fully support pop and/or imap ?
When I was working for a local authority we used outlook. I used to get outlook to sort my emails. For instance anything from someone outside of the LA I’d get it to put in one folder. Any emails from my boss went into another folder. Can that still be done? I can’t see how.
How do we save attachments from emails? I find that I have to download them and then go and manually save them in a different location.
Also keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work stop. I used to use them in the past to categorise my mails and meetings.
Great video, thank you.
I need your help please. How do i transfer emails from one email to another in the new outlook?
Thank you for the informative video! A quick question: How do you translate email into the new Outlook?
Do I need to try the new outlook? What happens if I leave that switched off? Will I be given no choice in future? Thank you for the very helpful video.
2 minutes into the video, and already liked, saved and subscribed. Just purchased a new laptop with windows 11. Old PC is still runninh W10...
Hi Scott, thanks for the video.Question how would you see Addon-s like teams etc I am asking because check Com ins and VSTO installation so enabled or disabled andons is there a way to use plugins at all here ?
hi great video thanks. Do you know if its possible to move the side vertical taskbar to a horizontal location along the bottom?? Thanks
Biggest issue I've found so far is Mailto: buttons in PDF's don't work in New Outlook.
If i add 10 emails in outlook new version then i can not export mails to take backup can you suggest me what to do?
Missing too many features….. disappointed
Compared to legacy outlook or something else? I’m happy with the new Outlook for the improvements over legacy.
They finally got the rules added back in which I must have.
List them as not missing anything
Drag and drop a file to desktop to name just one
Support for PST. Identified as something it will support (future) doesn’t now.
Support for Public folders. (Work around issued from Microsoft). Either do x y and z. So you can make it a favorite. Then still not same. Or. Stick with old Outlook.
Deal killers. If these are not addressed. I don’t care.
Don’t need want or benefit from an Outlook lite.
It's been a while, but I believe customized formatting.
Are they crazy?!!!! just switched back to the old outlook and autocorrect spell check works great! But with the new version it just underlines misspellings in red - can't find ANY info on how to enable autosuggestion or autocorrect and if right click only offered options for formatting the fonts.
Hi Scott, thank you for the video.
I have been finding it very challenging to add personalised domains email accounts to Outlook. Has this feature been discontinued and must users sign up to Microsoft 365 Business?
Hi, you video is very interesting, but I do, not have teams meeting button on event page. How to include teams option on events. thanks
Thank you for the video. Could you please talk about the Sharepoint access trough the new Outlook. Many thanks.
not able to get the teams app in new outlook. How to join team meeting only via MS Teams app and how to create MS teams meetings in new outlook. Want to add the MS teams option in new outlook so that i can create the MS teams meetings as well as i can join the MS teams meetings by clicking link in outlook and join the teams app
How can I migrate my inbox folders to the new outlook ? I spend years organizing my e-mails into each folder
Hello, could you please create a new video explaining the correct way to dragging a dropping attachments, I can’t drop files directly to SharePoint or another location in file explorer app
Yes!!! Great point
The visual changes and integration with other apps are positives for me, but here is what is preventing me to change:
1 - Templates. ON the old version I could have templates with subject, to:, cc: and attachments. On the new version I can only have a template for the email body.
2 - Coversations VS Individual emails. Onthe old version I can have this applied by folder. I like to have my main inbox with individual emails but most folders in coversation view so emails are kept to together. On the new Outlook this seems to be possible to apply only to all the emails and not per folder.
Everytime I try to use the new version, it opens on my browser. Is there a way to use it off-line?
Thanks for the tutorial. Question... why the options on the ribbon are different in my outlook? Seen this many times... Ex: the "Quick steps" never show in mine, and is something I use a lot! Anyone knows?
I cannot remember hating a new program so much, if they bring out something new, they should perhaps include the function to have the classic setup. I gave up on trying something as simple as coping colour test from Word into Outlook. One of my inboxes was showing 1 unread email, when in fact there was 7 unread.
Glad to see that New Outlook allows 'save as' into my laptop now..
Yes, it's great to see this feature added - and there has been more features added recently, to align to the old version of Outlook finally 😀
I find pros and cons to it. I find it is a pain to attach emails as attachments to other emails. (not forward). Also saving as a file into a folder in windows explorer is a nightmare.
I do like the conversation thread and how you can go through the conversation to find information.
Great video, but when I set up a meeting and have the teams tab on, no teams meeting link gets sent. Am I missing something????
Hello! Able to guide me in creating a unified inbox for 2 email accounts. Thank you!
Thanks
I would like to know how to do automatic responses?
Im tried the new Outlook and turned it off an hour or so later. Thanks to your video I'm turning it back on. Thank you
I found it easy to be honest. Way better than the old outlook which was annoying.
For the life of me I've been trying to find "Rules" in the new Outlook. I've expanded the ribbon but it's the basic one in the beginning of your video but around 5:22 your ribbon is much more detailed with other functions including "Rules". I looked everywhere on how to add this but can't seem to find it. Any advice?
Excellent tutorial video on the new productivity features in the new Outlook. I'll be integrating several of these tips into my daily workflow. Much appreciated, Scott.
Great overview of the new Outlook features!
The new version of Outlook lacks some features present in the old one.
I was all set to change over until I discovered you cannot use Proton Mail via Proton Bridge with the new Outlook. 😞
I am still waiting for conditional formatting to be available for inbox and calendar.
How the hell do I back up my emails?? I can't find the "file" button to get into the settings like before...
Hi
I do not work (retired), the main feature I use in the Classic MS Outlook is the Calendar for all my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly appointments (I cannot function without my calendar - also, the other feature I use is Contacts
So, teams, emails etc. are not important. But I use emails sometimes but mostly I use Gmail.
I did switch to the new outlook, but I did not like it - so many features of the calendar are missing. I switched back to the classic outlook.
My question is when I am forced to use the new outlook, are all my appointments / reminders will transfer over, also the customized quick access bar will exist??
Currently my outlook (MS office 365) is linked to iCloud for windows, So I have access to my calendar on my iPhone, my laptop and Desktop which helps me to add or update any appointment in any of the 3 that I use at home or if I am out and add new appointment on my iPhone - would this feature will exist ?
Comments from RUclips blogger:
Lots of people have tried it and switched back. Remember the new coke disaster in the 1980’s? Maybe this is the same!
What about add-ins? This "new" outlook will break half of the programs I use at work without add-in support.
Hi how can I dragged the emails to excel. This is different from the classic hope you can help
Hello. May I ask how did u have “QUICK STEPS” in the ribbon above.
I dont have Quick Steps in the NEW OUTLOOK.
They said it was removed, but was it really removed or it just need some activation in the setting?
Our company has a large legacy of .pst archives that need to be available for reading. Microsoft kept promising to provide support, and it kept slipping, now reduced to possibly some time in the future. This is typical of MS projects - they start as ambitious, then the regular staff culling happens, then the feature set gets wound back, and it's released with known bugs that never get addressed.
Thank you, this was so helpful!
How can I export my calendar from the new default calendar app in Windows 11 to an external folder?
HI, Does outlook has the unified email option? I cannot find one.
Hello, question please. Is there a "keep source source formatting" in this version?
HI Scott, great channel. I have a small question, in the old outlook I like to go to "day view" and press shift to pick multiple days to view on the calendar. For some reason it does not let me do this in the new version. Am I right, or am I missing something. Thank you for the video
Help! My New Outlook has been doing something really weird where it suddenly "jumps" up and the top part of the application, down to mid way through the "New Icon," is no longer viewable. I have to close out every New Outlook window including any drafts and restart it to get it to go back to normal where I can see the title bars. Any ideas how to resolve? (Note it also adds about an inch of totally blank area at the bottom).
Full of bugs! Keeps launching extra copies, mail you have read (gmail) goes back to unread, deleted mail returns, Sent items are later found in the drafts folder... And you get ads.
Can i use quickparts in the new version of outlook? I cant seem to find this function to save me time from typing the same thing over and over again
how do you see inboxes from several emails in a unified view on new outlook? cannot find this feature
Not really sure why this version got pushed to customers. Company I work for just telling every customer trying to use this to switch to thunderbird. It just wont "sync". IMAP just isn't working we have no work around besides telling them to go with someone else.
Broski, looking to simply move folders up/down my list on the left hand side. Some important folders were moved down to the bottom of my list. Anyone have a tip?
How do I copy multiple files which are attached to an email and paste them to a local folder on my PC? It seems that you can only copy and paste (or drag) one at a time.
Question: Is there a way to set up an automatic reply or forward once you have color categorized an email.? For example, if I categorize an email BLUE it will automatically forward to a specific email - can we do this?
Hi Scott. Great video. Is it possible to mail merge from word in this new version.
Best regards
Great Video! How can I make Task from my agenda?
All those bells and whistles and yet Microsoft fail to include a spell checker incorporated into the software. This renders the Outlook platform useless, so ive had to switch back to using it in a browser in which the spell checker works seamlessly.
Equally surprised that such a straight forward function hasnt been mentioned!!!
Thanks Scott - great news about integrations. Interested in the functionality of creating tasks from emails - so not sure this is the right video to comment on but... Is it possible to create a task straight into a premium plan in Planner. I cant seem to move or copy private tasks to a premium plan - I can do so to basic plans. From this recording it looks like the functionality goes straight to ToDo but in the interests of collaboration, I'd like to take out the long-hand copy/paste to a premium plan task. Information on if /when this might be possible is hard to find right now - any help appreciated.
The new Outlook still doesn't have conditional formatting to help with identifying email from certain senders. I do periodically check every few months, but ultimately end up switching back to the Classic Outlook.
Something as simple as selecting multiple attachments in an email is not possible in the new outlook. So disappointed with microsoft really. moving back to the old version. However ! Amazing video...
The "send to OneNote" function is horrible (compared to the old version). That is the only reason why I havent switched.
How do I forward my own meeting to new attendees in this version of outlook?
Oh god, I just want something simple, I'm an OAP and it gives me a headache trying to suss it all out! (I have tried!). Will be using the old version for as long as I can. One thing I couldn't work out was to see all my Inboxes (from 3 different email accounts) in one place?
I would like to be able to open previously ‘saved’ emails and ‘save’ new ones.
JUL 6, 2024 --- Tengo que usar esta version - sin embargo tengo respaldos de la version anterior - quiero importar todo esa informacion pero aqui no pude ver esa presentacion - la tienes disponible ?
Where can I see the trust center option in the new outlook?
