Category: New OutlookIf you just changed from classic Outlook to New Outlook, you might find your calendar is gone. This can happen for a few reasons. First, you most likely have IMAP setup for your email and in classic Outlook, it came with a (This Computer Only) calendar. That is a local to the computer only calendar, it is not in the cloud and doesn’t sync with the cloud. You will need to make some decisions here.
Decision #1 is find a calendar synching program that works with New Outlook. Microsoft Exchange, Outlook.com, Google Workspace/Gmail and iCloud are favorites.
Free? Outlook.com, Gmail and iCloud all will sync as of Nov 7, 2024
Microsoft Exchange and Google Workspace have a monthly subscription
Decision #2 is not use a calendar to sync with New Outlook. There are no IMAP email accounts that offer calendar (Outside of Gmail) that I know of. This also goes for contacts.

Two options:
In the inbox, click on the email you want to print to PDF. Hit the control + P on your keyboard and this will launch up print and you can chose to print to PDF or your own printer.
The other option is double click on the email you want to print to PDF, click on the 3 dots on the right top side of the window that pops up. “More Actions” and then select “Print” in the options available.

Unfortunately, the Zoom levels have changed in the New Outlook. You can go to “Settings” and then click on “Mail” and “Layout” and change the “text size and spacing” to small, medium or large. The New Outlook is more of a cloud application and there is very little you can do to change the size in the app. If you need the size larger than the “large” option, you might want to consider moving to the OWA and then you can change your browser window to be a much more larger size.

On Oct 19, 2024 I did some testing and I would not say it was reliable yet. In time I’m sure Microsoft will have a better offline version, I would think they have to as some people aren’t online all the time because of travel, flights/location, etc.
Few things I found:
I had a client who suffered from the Windows update on Oct 3, 2024 and after updating his Windows, his Google Workspace Sych with the GWSMO would not setup, install or do anything. After researching, I found that the new Windows update 24H2 is not supported by Google and we had to setup New Outlook.
After configuring, it did setup fine and did send email for a while. Then it stopped. I remoted back in and removed his account and then added it again and it’s working again. You cannot do any settings changes in New Outlook, it’s just making sure it’s connected. This might not stick but that’s what I did. I’m sorry to say that this is going to impact so many people and how they do email moving forward.
