Questions for those using Outlook (Office 365) via the web

[Mook]

We, and by we I mean another coworker, got upgraded to Office 365 / Outlook from Godaddys shit email system. The transfer went fine, emails are coming and going HOWEVER....I'm stumped on something. When an email is sent, it should should up in the sent folder...technically it does but it doesnt show up unless you search for it and even then, its grouped with completely unrelated emails (but they share the same subject line). I dont see any way to keep Outlook from grouping emails together that are unrelated...it makes going into the sent folder and check for a previous email a pain b/c you have to first search, then it brings you into the string of emails (unrelated to each other) then you have to work within the grouping...its dumb....I hate outlook.

Example: I was trying to find an email sent yesterday morning. When you click the sent folder, it shows just TWO emails sent yesterday. But when you search for the person, they show up within a grouping of emails not tied to one contact.

I'm likely explaining this in a retarded fashion but its frustrating me because there are basically no options within outlook for the web...

outlook 365 settings, display settings, "focused inbox" turn that shit off

 

[Mook]

Why? It keeps all the spam out AND it didnt fix anything with the sent issue.

 

[Mook]

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

I love Outlook. I briefly worked for a place that used Lotus Notes. That was terrible.

I use 365 at work and haven't had that issue. It has to be a setting. Since you're using it over the internet, maybe it is a network setting?

i use outlook 365 in the webapp mostly and my sents show up right away whether i send it through my phone, the web app or the desktop app.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

maybe its not sorting by date?

 

[Mook]

I think I figured it out and I might just be an idiot. Standby.

i'm stuck with it at my work because one of the owners says it's the only way he understands to check email at home and wouldn't let us switch

I cant find anything in my setting that would force group messages. let alone hide them. whe i open the desktop app i have to select office 365 that is defaulted form a drop down. i can select my old outlook, but i cant send anything from it, and ALL my emails from that were transfered over when we switched.

have you tried to contact outlook for help on the matter?

 

[Mook]

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. Fixed.

I thought I had done this already but went into sent folder, check filters and "show as" was set to grouping. Swapped to messages, all good. So dumb that it groups messages together than are 100% unrelated.

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's search functions are terrible.

I use gmail for all work related emailing with godaddy (now outlook) as our secondary "parent company" email address. I literally only use it to correspond with paypal, payroll and one other contact.

Zero issues with it here. I have it obviously on my PC when I'm here, on my phone, and can access it via our website/web when that option isn't available.

Outlook is just a mail application, it can be used with any mail system (Gmail, Lotus, Exchange, O365 or any other 3rd party hosted email).

If you are getting emails grouped together in "conversations" which I admit it does horribly and I can't stand that feature. Change the setting under "View" and uncheck "Show as Conversations".

That will show all emails as individual and not group them together by email subject.

the OP's talkin' bout outlook 365

Kinda like what he did 30 min before you posted.

Yup, I was gonna say "filters", but you figgerd it out!

I like my Outlook at work. Luckily all my settings before our 365 conversion stayed put so I didnt have to change anything except credentials.

I still use the stock mail app for the iPhone too.

I love the Outlook program and calendar.

What other options are there besides it? Gmail? No fucking thank you... at least not for work stuff.

 

[Mook]

Gmail > all
