I selected this feature in Office:
When this feature enabled, every time you minimize it the instance disappears and you have to start it up again. I was looking at the performance of my machine and then un-clicked the option and I had 20 instances of Outlook running. I just wanted to mention this to someone. Also, when this feature is enabled how to restore the minimized window with starting a new instance?

I have a user that every time she receives a calendar invite it go straight into her "Deleted Items" folder. She hasn't excepted or declined the invite yet when it goes in to "Deleted Items".
Is there a settings where she is Auto-Accepting these invites?
Nobody else in that department is having that issue.
We are using Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013 as our email client.
Hi,
I have a user who's Outlook 2016 is randomly crashing when composing a new message or meeting invite. The error is random and may sometimes go days or weeks before occurring again. Some things I have tried to fix, is repair PSTs, rebuilding of an .OST file as several accounts are configured in the profile. Deleting and recreating of the send and receive settings (.srs) file and deleting and recreating of the mspst32.dll. Some times the crash is severe, in where Outlook has to be restarted several time to get past the error. The event log shows an error at the time of each crash relating to the mspst32.dll file. If anyone has a possible solution on how to fix this, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

I'm having a really strange issue that I can't figure out.
I've tried sending a Word document and a PDF via Outlook for Mac and the recipients have the following issues:
1. The Word document opens but it's blank
2. The PDF has two different results, either a) They get the message "Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded), or b) it opens but there also appears to be a second identical document that won't open.
I've then sent the exact same documents using my yahoo account and they can be opened no problem (the same if I save them in a Google Drive folder and send the recipient a link).
However, this only happens with documents created on my Mac. If I send someone a pdf I received from a third party, they open fine.
I'm guessing it has something to do with Word for Mac that is the original software I'm using to create or edit these files before saving some as PDFs and others as Word.
I've searched online and can't find anyone else with the same issue. Any ideas?
I am trying to create a custom form that uses a distribution list as a "From" entry. I can add the From field (which then does not remain for the end user though they can recreate it) but, I do not know how to save the form with that distribution list address as the default. End users have to then reselect that before sending. Small matter, perhaps, but just more efficient if I can do it.
Any ideas or reference to any documentation I can use?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
Last Friday morning (07/12/2018) users at a client's site ceased being able to receive emails
Configured with IMAP access 143/993 on Windows 7 and 10 (64bit) computers (Outlook 32bits)
There is no error message, it just ceases to try to collect new messages as if the send/receive task was complete
Some computers could still receive, while others couldn't
Tried to disable firewall rules but that brought no improvement
One particular computer was configured with two accounts and it successfully received emails for one but not the other !
I installed Thunderbird on one computer that couldn't receive and it works fine !
Then I disabled Windows' firewall and voilà Outlook began receiving emails again !
There doesn't seem to have been any MS updates recently
Is this normal behavior or did I miss something ?
regards
yann

Created a new email profile with the same issue
Changed my default browser to Google Chrome, IE 11 and Edge but still the same result
Anyone else have any suggestion on to fix it?
Hi there,
Sometimes the Outlook stop going to online. No matter if you try to switch to "Work Offline" and then back to Online. Still disconnected. Quite often this issue apper when the computer is wake up from the sleep and also when the network has changed
from home to office.
You do not need to propose the reboot computer / restart Outlook / re-create a new profile :) I know all of those solve the actual issue.
But because I'm a bit interested to avoid these scenarios in future so I would like to understand what is actual problem. For troubleshooting Outlook I have enable the logging on it. But for me it is a bit surprise to see, it does not write any logs while it is in disconnect state and I'm trying to get from offline back to Online. Somehow I expected there should be some line about: "trying to connect...". But this looks like Outlook does not even try to do anything.
When looking for Outlook by process monitor I can only see it is doing continues updates to "AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\OTele\Outlook.exe.*" files.
Is there some other methods to troubleshoot or increase the logging to see what break Outlook connection?

Hi
Two users share a mailbox, on Office 365. They have their own account set up as primary, and the shared mailbox as a secondary account. Have also tried just as a normal shared mailbox, under the settings for the primary mailbox. Same issue.
The issue is that when one user marks a mail as complete (follow up flog), is does not always sync to the other user. See image. Other user only sees it as a red flag. Even when they change view, from the shared to own inbox, and back. Does not update.
We are running cache mode.
Any ideas how to secure the mailbox is updated with the flags?

Hey
We use RDS and running Exchange 2016 on premise.
Outlook 2016 x86 - fully patched. (Online - not cached mode)
On some RDS servers the instant search does not work. (nothing happens) - but advanced search works.
Any ideas?

I realize that there are a number of commercial programs that claim to be able to do this conversion. Since this is for a one time individual use I was hoping to find something more affordable. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Hi,
We use shared calendars on Outlook 2010/2013 on Exchange 2013 in our organization, with most users overlaying the shared calendars of the rest of their team. When opening Outlook the calendar selected by default is not the users calendar but one of the shared ones, which they may or may not have permission to schedule appointments/meetings on. This means that often users end up booking appointments/meetings on someone else’s calendar instead of their own.
This issue has been partially addressed here:
https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/349312
But is not solved (and I can't find any thread on this forum addressing the issue).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi People,
I'm working on Outlook 2013 and it's been quite a long time. The data has increased way too much and even after I deleted tonns of emails, got no luck. Most of the time Outlook freezes whenever I am working on it. It is really annoying when you get no response from Outlook while performing some crucial tasks.
Please suggest some appropriate suggestions so that I can apply them.
Hi all,
I've just updated to the latest (December 2018) installation of Office for Mac, using my Office 365 subscription (corporate), on a device which already had the previous latest version installed, including with Microsoft Teams.
I understand as part of the release notes (And the "Whats' new" popup when opening outlook) that one new feature is the Teams Meeting button - however, for the life of me, I cannot seem to get it to appear. The "Skype meeting" button is there, but the equivalent for Teams does not show. I've tried the following:
Oddly, the integration with teams is working in the Outlook Online client in Office 365 (i.e. visiting my mailbox through a browser), so it doesn't appear to be that my account is not licensed for teams etc - it just appears to be the client on Mac which does not display the meeting button correctly.
All the other changes from this update - including Dark Mode and the new Ribbon - have worked and are installed successfully.
Anyone else having this problem? I'd love to hear if someone has figured out the trick to "enable" Teams Meetings in Outlook...
