    Multiple accounts on Outlook.com?

    Does anyone here use Outlook.com? My husband has a decade-old Windows 10 laptop that is starting to fail. He has 3-4 email accounts (Comcast.net, Yahoo, Gmail, ...) He is tech-illiterate and resistant. He has gotten accustomed to Outlook on the desktop - I think he's on Outlook 2013? I would...

    Which version of Office?

    The annual subscription for MS365 is going up. I'm not happy, so am considering a switch back to a "lifetime" license version. I realize this is an Outlook forum but I hope people will chime in: which version should I buy for a single license that includes Excel, Word and Outlook, and runs...

    I don't understand Outlook or Microsoft, anymore

    I have an MS365 subscription (personal). I use Outlook version 2503 for MS 365. I use quite a bit of VBA, including to do searches across multiple mailboxes. Recently, when starting Outlook, I've been asked if I want to move to the "new" version, and I answer NO. This time, I got an error...

    VBA in "New Outlook?"

    Sorry if this is already answered but the site search won't let me search for "new" or "vba!" I doubt I'm going to want to use "New Outlook" but, if I did - does it allow VBA?

    I have set up a "Quick Step" to move the current message to my All Mail folder on one of my (many) Gmail accounts - this is the folder I use for my consolidated "archive." All of my email accounts are imap. The quick step sometimes seems to work, and I almost immediately see the new...

    Outlook doesn't feel reliable, anymore

    I use advanced searches via VBA, but this isn't really a VBA question. Once my search results are shown, I will change to a view that shows which email account and which folder each item "lives" in. I also have conditional formatting to show clearly when I have archived items to the...

    Outlook (desktop app for Microsoft365) restarts every time I save my VBA?

    Every time I have the VBA window open - whether or not I've done any editing - and then click Ctrl-S to save, Outlook closes and then restarts. My changes do seem to be saved, but something's clearly not right. Anyone else experiencing this, or know what might be causing it?

    I use Outlook from Office 365 on Windows 10 (Home). Been using Outlook for literally decades. I'm a little crazy in that I have 16 email accounts (for various purposes). Periodically, Outlook will forget all of my accounts' saved passwords and make me re-enter them. Entering 16 email...

    New weird behavior (or, why can't they leave well enough alone?)

    Sometimes, after reading and then closing an email in Outlook (365) and returning to the inbox, I press the delete key to delete the email just read, and nothing happens. Then, I click on the Home tab and the Delete icon there - and nothing happens. Eventually, function is restored. But why...
