Category: New OutlookNew Outlook is still new to a lot of people and while it’s fast…it can still be sluggish. Below is a list of things I look at when I help clients.
I go through most of these during the onboarding of our first appointment and can figure out the problem quickly. Then we move on to solutions. Solutions may take time to repair, or can be moved to a project (migrate email to Exchange) or repair with other options. All options are your choice. If you need help with Outlook slow to sync, feel free to use the form at the bottom of this page and contact me.

If you have iCloud for Windows set up in New Outlook, you might notice a synching delay. I just helped a client who called me back to let me know about this. I told him that iCloud on the browser and phone update automatically but there might be a delay for New Outlook to sync up. There are no options that I know of to sync it faster, so expect up to 15 minutes.
I’m not sure if this is typical as I have helped many people with iCloud and New Outlook and no one else has reported this delay, but it could be a recent change so that’s why I created this post.

In Exchange admin in Microsoft 365, you can setup server rules that will block emails so it doesn’t even hit your junk mail. I watch my junk mail folder like a hawk as sometimes my clients emails will go there. But lately, I’ve seen a lot of common words that I will never need to see again ever, such as: Wealth, VOIP, Financials, Million. I mean, maybe one day but not now lol.
So I created some mail flow rules to stop these from coming in to my junk or inbox.
Here is how you can do that:
Now you can send yourself a test from another email account and see if it appears in the junk or inbox. I’m very careful when considering words that I don’t want to miss but I keep adding new words daily and am finding my junk mail is getting down to less and less. I’m also checking my deleted items on occasion to verify.
I hope that works for you, if you need help with any other 365 Admin tasks, please use the form below to get in contact.
If you launch New Outlook and you click on the people icon and see the “loading people” loop, you can remove the account from New Outlook and add it back in. Something with the account is not connected correctly. Usually based on an update from Gmail or Windows or both. When I removed the account, and added it back, I saw the new security pop up and that is what alerted me to an update causing this problem.
