Outlook 365 Stripping Attachments

Hello,
I use Outlook 365 and when I send emails out with an .pdf attachment, it strips the attachments, even though in my outbox the attachments are showing. But when I have a friend test it from his work site the attachments are received and they are able
to open them up.
I have heard that this is an issue with Outlook 365?
Thanks,
George

Outlook 365 email attachments not adding

In outlook 365 when adding an attachment to an email the waiting wheel just keeps spinning, it will never attach the files or pictures I want to add, they are just small documents and pictures no bigger than 2mb. I have removed the website data under safari/preferences then selecting the privacy tab/ remove all website data to fix this issue, but this is a temporary fix, and It is becoming annoying doing this almost daily it seems now. Does anyone have a solution to this. Thanks

Hey mikem750,
Once you convert the email to PDF, you have to click on Attachments under the Navigation pane. You can then save the attached file and then convert it to PDF format.
Choosing 'include attachments' option under conversion settings will simply include attachments (original format) along with the converted email message.
Hope this information helps.

Outlook 2010 with 365 stripping attachments off of email that have been drag and dropped

In my office we just switched to 365 and since this I've noticed that roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of my email with drag and drop attachments are having those attachments stripped off.
Several times a day I send an email that has 6 attachments, mix of excel and pdf, and the excel called 'Checklist' I attach by drag and drop often get stripped off the instant I hit the Send button.
I will literally be looking at it, as one of 6 files, hit Send, and in my sent box there are only 5 files, the Checklist is gone! It's random; about 1/3 to 1/2 of them do this. Others make it through.
Please let me know if there is a fix to this? I'm having to resend attachments about 6 times a day now!

Hi,
Please send several test emails with attachments on OWA, check if this issue will occur.
If the issue is on client only, we can start Outlook in Safe Mode to test, this can eliminate the influence by 3rd-party add-ins:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
In Outlook Safe Mode, send several test emails with attachments to see if the problem will ever occur. If no, we may suspect the issue was caused by some add-ins, go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one
caused the problem.
We can also test with a new profile to setup the account, a new profile will be a new environment for the account, we can check if the problem will occur with the new profile and you don't need to remove the old profile.
To create a new profile, go to Control Panel -> Mail -> Show Profiles -> Add.

Outlook 2010 stripping attachments

I have a group of users on Outlook 2010 SP2. They have two accounts set up on their computers. One is their standard Exchange account, and the other is an IMAP account that they all share (it's a common departmental e-mail account).
Early last week, all the users except one encountered an issue where attachments sent from the IMAP account were being stripped by Outlook. Attachments sent from their individual Exchange accounts still go through without an issue.
I have been monitoring the logs on the SMTP server the IMAP account is set up to use, and the attachments never make it to that server, so they aren't being removed there. However, the attachments are still on the e-mail in the users' Sent folders on the
IMAP server. I tried 3 different SMTP servers we have available, and the result was always the same.
No changes were instituted on the computers (by me) prior to this happening. Out Exchange server is run by a different IT group, but like I said the IMAP account is somewhat isolated from Exchange.
It doesn't matter if the attachment is Word, PDF, image file, etc. It also doesn't seem to matter if they're inline (like an image) or not. They all get stripped. Logging has been turned on and I don't see any errors jumping out at me.
Things that I've tried that haven't worked:
Disable AV software (they're using SCEP 2012)
Using Outlook in Safe Mode
Starting fresh from a new Profile
Disabling TNEF in the registry
Making sure e-mail is sent as HTML, not as RTF
Erasing the Autofill cache
The only possible clue I've managed to find is after starting a user from a fresh Profile, I set up her IMAP account and tested it, and the attachments sent. Once I added her Exchange account, they started getting stripped again. This led me to think there
was a server issue again, except that it isn't affecting all users, just most of them.
Any ideas?

Hi,
If the Exchange account is removed from that profile, will the issue persist or disappear?
Have you also disabled the firewall to try again? If not yet, disable the firewall to test again.

How to change default zoom in outlook 365 permenently

I use the preview/reading pane in outlook 365 and I can see the slider bar at the bottom where I can adjust the zoom. Problem is I have to enlarge it each time for every email I want to read. How can set this to something other than 100% and make it stick?
Also, sometimes I need to fully open an email an I have the same problem - text is too small. And this time no slider bar at the bottom. SoO I have to go up to and manually adjust the zoom that way. This is so frustrating and a big problem for me as I have
bad eyes. Can someone please tell me how to change the zoom permanently?

Hi,
Changing the zoom setting is not persistent for reading messages. To make the zoom level persistent, you need to use an add-in or a macro. See:

How do I create a new folder to use for my Outlook 365 mail account? I know with pc all I had to do was to right mouse click.

Wondering how to create new folders for my Outlook 365 mail account. I know with pc all I had to do was to left mouse click.
Any suggestions?

New folder where? If you added the account in Mail app it should of created the folders to store that email automatically.
What email program are you using?

Can I sync my iCloud calendar with Outlook 365? I upgraded from Office 2010 and now it doesn't sync.

I upgraded from Outlook 2010, and now it doesn't update in Outlook 365. Thinking I can't do it, and it's a pity, cause I want it all to integrate on phone and on desktop. I'm running Windows 7 and Office 365. The iCloud app works fine with Internet Explorer, but I can't get the calendar to update. Any suggestions?

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

HT5824 iCloud and Windows 8.1:Outlook 365 can't sync my iCloud calendar

I recently installed the windows 8.1 on my PC and now Outlook can't sync my iCloud calendar. The calendar works fine on my MacBook Pro and the iCloud app on my windows start page opens the iCloud calendar. It shows all appointments when I view the calendar in the ap but I use Outlook 365 for my business email and add appointments to the Outlook calendar. I see the iCloud calendar listed on the My Calendars panel, but now when I click on it I get the message: The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened. It was working in the original Windows 8.

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.

Outlook 2013 XLS Attachments cannot be opened in Excel 2013 due to Trusted Center restrictions with Outlook Secure Temp Folder

Dear all,
I'm having some serious issues with Office 2013's Trusted Center settings. In Outlook 2013 XLS Attachments cannot be directly opened in Excel 2013 with double-clicking due to Trusted Center restrictions for Excel 2013 regarding Outlook's Secure Temp Folder.
I tried to adjust the corresponding Office 2013 Administrative Template within my GPOs but to no prevail.
I did find out that Outlook 2013 places an attachment within the Outlook Secure Temp Folder located at "C:\Users\a.ollischer\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\PPIU10RW” before passing it to Excel 2013 in order to
open it. It fails due to not trusting this location though I added the corresponding path to my Trusted Locations.
What can I do in order to make this work without having to tediously save each and every attachment to "My Documents" prior to opening it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maurice 7785,
Deal and customize attachment security behavior to access such kind of blocked file format. Usually, Outlook does not allow users to open such unsafe type of attachments. It means they are blocked them by default, so you need to unblock such items using REG
values.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

MFA App Password for Outlook 365 Keep Failing

We are currently using Azure MFA for our Office 365 implementation. Our users have to use App Passwords for devices that don't support MFA. Primarily the desktop outlook client and phones/tablets.
Over the past week I've had multiple users complaining that the App Passwords they've set for their phones and tablets are suddenly being reported as bad. I've personally had my iPhone app password be rejected 3 times in the past 48 hours. I've resolved
it by creating a new app password each time. But it's starting to feel like there is some sort of intermittent outage/problems with MFA App Passwords and Outlook 365.

Four weeks on using MFA for me. On my eighth 8th app password for my desktop Outlook 2010 client. They stop working. The 'remember' feature does not work, even with Run As Admin; or maybe it does but since the last used App Password is
bad, get prompted for a new one. I just spend a few minutes each morning copy-paste from my text file of app passwords, either until one works, or until I go back to the portal (and wait for the verification call) and make a new one. Sometimes
I get thru the list trying all of them, cycle back thru again, and one of them works now. Worse I cannot easily use microsoft stuff that is associated with my MSDN live login once I have used my organizational email to login to the portal; if I sign
out of it and login with the live account . . . maybe 40% of the time I lose email until prompted again for my app password. I copy and paste the app password multiple times a day, and if there was One 1 that worked 100% of the time, I might end up memorizing
it. Sigh.

Outlook 2013 slow to start with Outlook 365 on Windows 7

Hi,
I get to work, start up my PC. It's windows 7.
The first thing I do is kick off Outlook 2013 which piggy backs off office 365.
It takes a minute for the splash screen to appear, another minute of watch dots fly across the splash page then a minute while add-ins get applied.
Why does it take so long for the first two phases to complete?
What add ins do I actually need? I've disabled those I think surplus to requirements, but in reality if Outlook 2013/0ffice 365 need them why do they need to be added in at all?
Thanks.

but I have since been advised to post it here to.

Hi,
According to your description, outlook 2013 connects to Exchange online server very slowly.
If yes, we can try the following methods to narrow down the cause of the slow performance:
1. Try start your Outlook in safe mode, and check the launch speed;
2. Check if you have enabled Cache Exchange Mode, if no, enable it and try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
3. Create a new profile with no email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
4. Create a new Profile with the other email account, try start Outlook, and check the launch speed;
Since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:

Thanks for your understanding in advance.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
