[@ALINEBR09]

Why do you prefer the old version instead of the new one? Just curious because I keep going back to the old one… but would love to find if anyone has the same feeling! Love your videos!

[@LeaDavid]

Good question, but I guess it's two things: habit and the assumption that most viewers are still use the old version so it's easier for them to follow 😊

I have Microsoft outlook 2010 version. Do i need to update my version? I haven't seen any of these things while opening my outlook.

[@theresaclemonds542]

Good morning, Lea. Are these tips based on the newest version of Outlook or does it not matter? Thank you.

[@LeaDavid]

Hi Theresa! I am using MS 365, so it should be for the latest version. However, I believe those basics should not change at all or too much from version to version. Hope they work for your. Best, Lea

[@joebeemillwall]

Hi. Vielen Dank für dieses neue Video. Ich habe eine praktische Outlook-Frage, welche ich selbst bisher nicht zu beantworten vermag. Gibts eine EMail-Adresse, an welche ich diese mal schicken darf?

[@KRISHNAWARRIOR]

I heared in the retail version ist only light or dark mode possible. I like the grey mode shown in your video. but grey mode is only available in Offcie 365, corrrect? what screen resolution is this. I like the small letter --> good overview.

[@LeaDavid]

Thank you so much! Indeed, I I using MS 356 so not sure what color versions are available in the retail version. Also cannot tell which screen resolution this is since I am not sure any more with which device I recorded this, sorry!

[@FloatSamplesGT710]

Hi, great explanation. Also can you make a review about new copilot AI tool and its implementation in office 365 apps from the recent build of windows 11.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, will take your suggestion into consideration 👍

Thumbs up for the big help in a concise video. And another thumbs up for iDubbz in the news section lol

[@c.j.nyssen6987]

I would appreciate a companion video for the web-app version of Outlook. It's supposedly the same product, but it has some significant differences and I can't always find a workaround.

[@LeaDavid]

Thanks, I will think about it 👍

[@wolfgangk1]

[@LeaDavid]

You are welcome!

[@Rubyseye]

Great video. Thank you very much. I am unable to find an answer anywhere, maybe you can assist with a question I have. Is it possible to add two different email addresses to one contact. So when sending an email, choose that one contact and it automatically sends to those two email addresses?

[@LeaDavid]

Hi Ruby, not sure if I understand what you are asking. For sure, you can add/sync different email addresses to Outlook. If you have done so, you can choose from which email address you would like to send an email. Hope this helps, Lea

[@kaiserdomingsil]

@@LeaDavid put those two email in BCC maybe?

Re New MS outlook in 2024 - changes Hi I do not work (retired), the main feature I use in the Classic MS Outlook is the Calendar for all my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly appointments (I cannot function without my calendar - So teams, emails etc. are not important. But I use emails sometimes but mostly use Gmail. I did switch to the new outlook, but I did not like it - so many features of the calendar are missing. I switched back to the classic outlook. My question is when I am forced to use the new outlook, are all my appointments / reminders will transfer over, also the customized quick access bar will exist?? Currently my outlook (MS office 365) is linked to iCloud for windows, So I have access to my calendar on my iPhone, my laptop and Desktop which helps me to add or update any appointment in any of the 3 that I use at home or if I am out and add new appointment on my iPhone - would this feature will exist ? Comments from KZbin blogger: Lots of people have tried it and switched back. Remember the new coke disaster in the 1980’s? Maybe this is the same!

[@SAAConsulting]

Are you using iOS version of Outlook or iOS Mail with your Outlook account? Outlook for iOS (and Android) works well (in my experience and those of most of the clients/friends I support -- as a semi-retiree). It can synch calendars and contacts and manage multiple mail accounts -- including IMAP and gmail. iOS has a few limitations such as not supporting images (pics/logos) in mail signatures. Plenty of documentation and videos -- including Copilot. Several long-time gmail and Apple Mail users have switched to using Outlook on all devices for mail, calendar and contacts.

[@morrisnakhla]

Thank you for your reply- I use MS office 365 including Outlook - Just using my iPhone for contacts and reminder - But I am comfortable using outlook for windows and I wish MS keep the existing Outlook @@SAAConsulting

[@steveegallo3384]

Agreed. The "new improved" Outlook is slow cumbersome unwieldy....it takes me an hour to do what took less than 10 minutes in the predecessor version. All this repeated "Access Denied....Sign in again".....horrid! Cheers from Mexico City!

[@LeaDavid]

Hi both! Awesome that you have come into contact here in the comments section and exchanged your ideas/solutions. Love the openness and helpfulness of the community :) Thanks and all the best, Lea

How come your outlook is just so different? For instance I dont have the focus tab

[@LeaDavid]

Probably we use different versions. Not sure which one you are using..

[@tammyboose7905]

This would be more helpful if you explained the " how to" at a slower pace and your images were larger and easier to see. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one still at the "starting line," and you were already halfway around the track. Lol. On a positive note, I think your tips can be helpful.

why my latest outlook looks different from this video ?

I found it hard to follow, because you went fast and have a thick accent.

Ok. Feel free to watch the video in 0.5 or 0.75 speed. You can change it in the video settings.
