    Outlook spam filter misbehaving

    Or remove loc from it. That would apply to any word beginning with loc - locate, location etc. You could try adding it as "loc " - the space should prevent it from matching loc*. It will let some slip in, such as if the word is at the end of a sentence or subject, so no space added.

    Outlook spam filter misbehaving

    Hosts can move mail to the junk folder - but if you are using a custom domain, you would need to enable junk filtering. Gmail, yahoo etc will do it automatically but you are using HostGator, so they shouldn't do it on their own. Do you have any rules? That could do it too - rules that look for...

    Outlook spam filter misbehaving

    That would be your isp filtering it, not outlook. Outlook's filters haven't been updated in like 10 years, which is why no filtering, blocked list only is recommended. Safe list won't apply to IMAP mail because the server moves it before Outlook gets it in the inbox. The only other cause would...

    what are the downsides of running both classic and new outlook on same win 11 pc?

    None, really. I almost always have both running. IMHO, hard drive space is a bigger issue than RAM. If you use imap, classic may get new mail faster and will have older mail. This is because it syncs directly with the iIMAPserver while need Outlook pulls it into the Microsoft cloud, then sync...

    any trick to embedding images in new outlook and outlook on the web contacts?

    You are trying to add them to contacts, correct, not email? The contact form doesn't support formatting or embedded images - you would need to save to OneDrive and paste a link.

    If you export, flags and read status will export. But... Copy the PST to the new computer - not export. That will maintain your views and categories.

    New Outlook issues with Gmail, particularly labels/folders

    >> Also, New Outlook doesn't give me feedback when mail is being retrieved on its indeterminate schedule, not even when I manually sync, and it's slow. I press F9, and then I have to twiddle my thumbs for 10 seconds while nothing appears to be happening. >> This is because new Outlook doesn't...

    What is the next workaround for macro in New Outlook 1.2025.1111.100

    At this point, there is no work around. Depending on what the macro does, you might be able to use power automate, but it can't do nearly as much as vba. Outlook will be around until 2029, with the EOL in 2035.

    Outlook 2021 outlook on iPhone

    The account on the phone (or any other device) is separate from the account on the computer - you can remove it, and it will not affect the account set up on other devices. You're just removing the account from one device. Since you use Outlook 2021, the following won't apply as Outlook 2021...

    Outlook 2010 Originating & Using a Template, how & where?

    Create the message then use File > Save as > Outlook Template (oft). If it's just text (which all email templates should be), you can save it to any easy to access location (like desktop) then double click to open it. You can copy it to a folder in Outlook (I named mine Templates) and use it...

    Solving the "indexing never finishes" issue

    if its stuck syncing, I usually have the user change the account settings in Send/Receive settings (Ctrl+Alt+S). Click Edit, and set the IMAP account to not get unread count in subscribed folders and to only sync inbox, maybe a few other folders. If you only use classic Outlook to move mail...

    Solving the "indexing never finishes" issue

    IMAP is partly the cause. Outlook will often reload the account and needs to resync. Are you syncing all IMAP mail or is the sync slider set to less than all? ?Setting it on All may help if its not syncing everything. Also, leave Outlook open when the computer is running. don't open and...

    Why does Outlook keeping adding to the email address I have in my notes portion of a contact?

    BTW - it usually only happens if you edit the contact on the mobile device. But it can happen even if you don't edit.

    Why does Outlook keeping adding to the email address I have in my notes portion of a contact?

    Split like that? It's because you are syncing with a mobile device that syncs the notes field as plain text. converting to plain text converts URLs to that format. If you don't want it converted to a mailto, you need to add a space before or after the @ so it's not recognized. You could also...
