646 TopicsIntroducing Scheduling poll in Outlook!
Announcing FindTime as a native feature in Outlook! We are excited to introduce Scheduling poll, bringing the capabilities of FindTime as a native feature in Outlook. Scheduling poll is currently available to all users of Outlook on the Web and Mac. It is available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It is now available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Version 2308) as of January 2024, and will be available to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel later in June 2024. Users who do not have access to Scheduling Poll yet can either switch to the Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, or Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview in Classic Outlook for Windows; or they can use Outlook on the Web to create polls. Please go here for more details on 'Scheduling poll' feature. What’s the same As we bring Scheduling poll directly to Outlook, users can expect to have a similar set of features and workflow as the existing FindTime add-in. What’s different Scheduling poll uses the same modern design and framework we use in the updated Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows, making it easier to maintain and enhance for the future. Important: What is happening to the FindTime add-in? The FindTime add-in will stop working and be removed from Outlook for Windows, Web and Mac. Scheduling Poll is the replacement feature, which is built directly into Outlook clients for all users as a native feature. When this will happen: You can expect the FindTime add-in to stop working as early as December 11, 2023. We will start making the change on December 11, 2023, and expect to complete it by the end of that week. How this will affect your organization: Once the change has rolled out users will need to utilize Scheduling Poll as a replacement of the FindTime add-in. When will the new Scheduling Poll feature be available? Currently, Scheduling Poll is available to all customers worldwide for Outlook on the web and the new Mac Outlook, except for those in GCC High. It is also available to Classic Outlook for Windows users in Current Channel, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Semi-Annual Enterprise Preview. It will become available to Classic Outlook users on the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in January 2024, and to the Semi-Annual Extended Channel in June 2024. What will happen to my current user experience? When your tenant gets the update, the native feature will be added to their Outlook ribbon replacing FindTime (see more details to access Scheduling Poll here). Users do not need to do anything, this change will happen automatically, and users will be able to keep creating scheduling polls as easily as before. FindTime Deprecation FAQs 1. What does the deletion of https://findtime.microsoft.com/ mean? A. This webpage provides information about how to use the FindTime add-in and given that we are replacing it with Scheduling Poll, we are deleting this page. When users try to access this page post 12/12/2022, they will be redirected to the polls dashboard - https://outlook.office.com/findtime/dashboard. The add-in itself should still function as is. It will not be deprecated until Scheduling Poll is released to all supported Outlook apps - in Outlook web, Mac and Win32. 2. What do I need to do to transition from FindTime to Scheduling Poll? A. Nothing! When Scheduling poll is rolled out to your tenant, the entry point to the FindTime Add-in will be hidden and you should see a button to open the Scheduling poll pane in the Outlook compose ribbon instead (more details here). We have made UX updates to help improve the experience. The functionality should remain the same and you should be able to create new polls just like before. 3. What happens to my existing polls? A. All the polls you created through the FindTime add-in should remain active and actionable through the voting page and the polls dashboard even if the add-in is deprecated and replaced by the Scheduling poll UI. The only thing that has changed is the way you create a poll.Solved297KViews6likes125CommentsSchedule Send Option
Hi all, I just wondered, if our organisation applied their 'hours of work and location' to their profiles, would this assist with the schedule send option appearing at random times of the day. For example, it is 9:45am here and I sent an email to our payroll team and it said that their best time to send it is tomorrow at 3am. Rather than change it in organisational settings, can each employee do this for their individual hours? Thanks, AshleaSolved199KViews0likes6CommentsCan't connect Outlook 2016 to my O365 Mailbox
Scenario: I have an Office 365 account with the email foo@contoso.com I have an old MSA account with the email foo@contoso.com Windows 10 - Creators Update (but tried this with a fully patched version immediately before updating to Creators Update Outlook 2016 latest (installed from Office 365 In the past, I had no problem with this. I login to Windows 10 with my MSA account. Within Windows 10 => Settings => Accounts, I see my MSA account listed as "Outlook" and can firm it's using a Hotmail server to sync. When I try to add another account in Windows 10 for Exchange using the same email, it tells me that email is already in use. When I try to add my Office 365 account to Outlook, it constantly rejects the credentials I enter. Instead, it re-prompts me to enter the credentials... except it autofills my email as "MicrosoftAccount\foo@contoso.com". No matter if I use my Office 365 (Azure AD) password with what's provided or if I remove "MicrosoftAccount\" from the email address, Outlook refuses to connect to it. The behavior is that because I'm using the same email, Outlook now assumes it's an MSA account and refuses to use the domain with the autodiscovery DNS entry for my domain to resolve to O365 Exchange servers to lookup the account. The result: I can't use Outlook 2016 for my Office 365 email. This was not the case in the past. I rebuilt the same machine in September 2016 and had no problem with this same setup. So something changed in Windows 10 / Outlook 2016 to impact this.180KViews0likes23CommentsAutomatic Replies in Outlook - Insert Image n/a - PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
We use O365 for our business needs and recently came to learn that the insert image function is no longer available. As a company that uses an image to display our company logo, address and tagline in our e-signatures its is extremely frustrating to not be able to insert an image in our Automatic Replies when our staff are on vacation and want to create an Out of Office message. I have troubleshot this issue with Microsoft support and was given instruction to use a rule as a work around however this is NOT a good recommendation to what we believe is a HUGE problem since using a rule will send out of office notifications to every single email and not just one email to each sender as is done with notifications when using Automatic Replies. Please take note that we were previously able to insert images in automatic replies and now its gone! Not sure why Microsoft allows you to insert an image when creating an e-signature and even allows you to insert an image in Rules but not in Automatic Replies. Please review and consider bringing back insert image into Automatic Replies! With Thanks & Appreciation, Sonja Cicchetti168KViews7likes28CommentsSend Button Greyed Out For New Messages
This morning, I am not able to send new emails form outlook 365 on a Mac. I can type a message and put in a recipient but the Send button stays greyed out. I have quit and relaunched Outlook and am still having the issue. Any advice on how to resolve? I am able to create and send through the Outlook app on my phone and I am able to reply and forward form my computer. I just cannot create new messages form my computer.114KViews0likes15CommentsOutlook for iOS: cannot load or send attachments
I am using the MS Outlook app on my iPhone and iPad. Since about 2 weeks, I am unable to open any attachment (all file types are affected) and images embedded into emails are not shown. Furthermore, I am not able to send emails with attachments as emails just get stuck in the Outbox. I have no problems to open the files on my desktop computer or on the web. It is just in the app. In the meantime, I have resetted my account in the app multiple times, have deleted and reinstalled the app and even deleted and reinstalled the company profile on the devices. All of this with no effect; the error persists. My colleagues don’t have any problems despite having the same hardware. Has anybody else the same problems? Is there a solution available that the in-app support doesn’t know of?88KViews0likes19CommentsColumn heading row missing in Outlookk 2016 for subfolders
Brand new surface laptop, loaded office 365 with outlook desktop application. (Note this because his original surface laptop did NOT have this problem.) The user has the column headings on his "Inbox" folder but the row is completely gone on all other folders. I can't see a way to turn it on. I know how to add columns once the row is there - that is not what I am asking. I am saying the view I subfolders doesn't even list columns. I tried to "apply view" from the inbox to the subfolders and that feature doesn't add it, now does it change any of the other setting to match the inbox. The "apply view" feature seems to be broken or something. I have tried doing a quick repair, online repair, the troubleshooting tool from the Microsoft site and rebuilding his outlook profile and none have fixed it. Short of completely wiping and reinstalling office I am out of things to try. And I would rather not go with that option because he has a huge number of "customizations" he has set and would loose all those. (He lost those with the create new profile try - but I didn't delete the old one so we could just easily switch him back since that wasn't the fix.) Suggestions anyone?Solved85KViews0likes19CommentsNew Outlook Working Offline Phase 1: Rolled Out with Limitations

I have emails being auto-forwarded from a business Rackspace IMAP account. Every once in a while I received an email from another Outlook user that duplicates even if I read it or delete it...it still floods in and jams up my inbox so that I no longer have room in my Rackspace account and it turns away incoming emails. SO FRUSTRATING! 1. Why is this happening? 2. How do I find these duplicate emails once the glitch occurs (I dont always know it is happening)? 3. How do I stop an incoming email from duplicating?66KViews0likes4Comments
