    ChatGPT (or equivalent) to write VBA code?

    It doesn't do well with Outlook code. It often mixed in word VBA or excel that does not work in Outlook (unless you bind the object models, which it doesn't do). I was not happy with chatgpt or Copilot at writing php - but claude worked perfectly. I needed to convert a Microsoft sql stored...

    Delete Outlook emails from MS server

    The sync settings have nothing to do with the deleted items automatically being deleted. The automatic deletion of junk mail and emptying deleted items is set by the server. Gmail and outlook.com 30 days for both folders. (That's 30 days from when it went into the folder.) Other servers may...

    Outlook 365 Recent changes to "Undeliverable" automated replies?

    I had one recently that still had the email - opened it, fixed the address and resent. This is from mac Outlook, so it looks different than windows, but it has the email attached.

    Strange Attachment Behavior

    It's not the absolute newest, but it's not old either. Installing updates won't fix it - I have Version 2504 (Build 18720.20000 Click-to-Run) and can repro.

    Strange Attachment Behavior

    What is your version and build number? I added it from All commands - Attach file... - the other one doesn't have the recent files list and opens an explorer That's normal - one is for the open window, one for reading pane. Second one is reading pane version, I think. It has fewer commands...

    Strange Attachment Behavior

    Actually, solved it (before reporting it :)) - I added the button to the QAT before hitting reply. If I remove the button and add it after hitting reply, it adds it to the reply. I don't know if this is a change in behavior or not (since I use the ribbon button). Will still report it.

    Strange Attachment Behavior

    I was able to repro it from the quick access - but it works as expected from the message tab. (I will report it.)

    Seeing mails after loosing access

    If you cancel the sign in dialog, does Outlook load? If you did nt enable offline cache, you need to sign into the account as nothing is stored locally. Did you ever use classic Outlook to access the account? If yes, you may be able to recover the email from it.

    No, sorry, I did not have time to test with a test mailbox (and I don't want to screw up my own mailbox. :)) I'll try and do it tomorrow.

    Outlook 365 Notifications ("toasts") have no action buttons, only 'X'.

    Rules shouldn't have an effect. Am I understanding correctly that the notifications on the two imaps have 3 buttons on the old laptop? (They should only have 1.) The 3 accounts on the new latop should have the 3 dots since all are Microsoft accounts. If you make a new profile on the new...

    Emails with attachments from an alias are undeliverable to one of three aliases

    These are all aliases on the same mailbox or are they 3 separate mailboxes? If they are all address on the same mailbox, Microsoft is blocking them for security reasons - it's done it previously, but usually with all mail to and from the primary alias. Is every attachment type affected - if...

    Outlook desktop client suggested searches question

    2016 definitely doesn't support and I'm, pretty sure 2019 doesn't. It's a fairly new option in exchange online. the on-prem servers are quite a few builds behind the online servers. I don't think fully migrating to 2019 will make a difference - its interface is behind what is available in...

    Close / Delete that account - you created a Microsoft account (consumer side). While it isn't an issue now, if sherweb ever moves accounts to Microsoft 365, it will be annoying...

    Windows 11/Office 365 - can't forward calendar entry as ics file

    Are you forwarding individual events? This is what it should be when forwarding an item that is on the calendar (right click on the event, forward). But because it's an "Outlook item", if the recipient doesn't use Outlook or their mail server or mail scanner munges it, it could be turned into a...

    Outlook 365 Notifications ("toasts") have no action buttons, only 'X'.

    Both accounts are Microsoft Exchange? IMAP accounts will only have one button, Exchange accounts will have 3. There is no separate option for accounts. It's all or nothing for all accounts. (The exception is if notifications are off in Outlook and you use rules to display the notification.)...

    How to open Excel file saved in Outlook folder?

    Testing it now - if I know the position of the file, I can get the file: Set myItem = olItems(3) But the filter is not finding it or errors. Oh, and the filter needs apostrophes - sFilter = "[Subject] = '" & exFile & "'"

    How to open Excel file saved in Outlook folder?

    You need to 'find' the file, unless you select it first, then you can use the selection. I did not test this (yet) so it might have some errors - and it assumes the file is in the folder, not as an attachment on a message. If you have the exact name and there is no other match, this should...

    Outlook desktop client suggested searches question

    According to this, the account doesn't have a mailbox - I'm assuming you tried signing in with the custom domain address that has a mailbox. If you signed in with the onmixrosoft address, the error is correct if it does not have a mailbox. This looks like the older on-prem interface (or it...
