Q: Outlook.com mail filters not working :-(


Question

Hi all,

Ever since the latest outlook.com update I'm having issues with some parts of the service. Especially the mail filters.
In outlook.com I have a connected account that fetches the email from my ISP provider account.
This works fine, also on my Win8 mail app on the tablet. The email is coming in under the connected account name.

So I set up a bunch of mailfilters, not just to organize the email, but also moving the emails to the main Inbox of my outlook.com mailbox.
This is the part that is not working. I've setup the filters multiple times, looking at errors on my part. :|

But as I could not find any other way of setting these filters up, (selecting user account/option/folder) I tried the diagnostic report option at the bottom of the filter page.
I get a message an email is send, but I never receive a report in the mail. I have no idea where outlook is sending it to. :angry:

Are there people having the same issues, or know how to fix this?
I want to add some more accounts in the connected account area, and filter al incoming email back into the main Inbox (subfolders).
I find it easier to manage that way. :)

cheers for any tips!

rob

    • Darwin Mach Kernel/ BSD. Which is both open source.
    • You mean BSD. The UNIX kernel is not open source.
    • I have been on Linux Mint full-time since Jan 2019. while there is a learning curve, it's worth it if you can make the switch, which I can. I mainly browse web, play some games (generally Lutris(Windows games), or through emulators (MAME/Mesen/Flycast etc) etc), and use a small amount of Windows programs (Foobar2000/7-zip/WinRAR/ImgBurn etc) etc. it's nice to dodge the bloat/BS of Windows as you can really feel Linux is all around faster, especially certain things. p.s. recently I enabled NTSync for games since Linux Mint recently offered the 6.14 kernel, which has NTSync support (it's not enabled by default though but you can enable it temporarily for your current boot of the OS through 'sudo modprobe ntsync')
    • A rotten article full of handwaving of anti-consumer practices. Aside from the fact that no, not even close to every piece of major software collects information about its users, ethical developers make such telemetry opt-in and allow it to be completely disabled. To use KDE Plasma as an example, you're shown a greeter upon first boot that gives users the option to send the developers telemetry, with the default being off and 'off' actually meaning off. Windows 10 has never offered that capability - only a promise that Microsoft will slurp up less of your data if you spend time tweaking 50 different privacy settings. There is still absolutely no way to completely opt out of sending Microsoft telemetry in any version of Windows 10 (or 11, naturally). Even using group policy in Enterprise editions only allows you to reduce telemetry to the bare minimum. Home-focused editions don't even get that option. Articles like this dismissing user privacy concerns as "FUD" are a part of the reason Microsoft felt confident enough to go so much further with Windows 11. I guess you get what you deserve in that respect. Personally, I finally made the move to Linux after 15 years or so of dabbling with it, but never really considering a permanent switch. Enjoy your bright, shiny Windows future. You asked for it, after all.
