The order of folders in Outlook changes automatically
A rare bug in Outlook 365 (classic) causes the arbitrary automatic reordering of folders in the client.
To stop the behavior you can try the following:
- Move a folder manually (right mouse button, move "down", then move "up")
- If in cached mode:
- Switch off cached mode
- Move a folder manually (right mouse button, move "down", then move "up")
- Switch cached mode back on
Open shared mailboxes
- If problems occur when accessing shared mailboxes, there are two possible solutions:
- Open the shared mailbox in https://outlook.office.com via "Open another mailbox..."
- The shared mailbox is on EXO - Open the browser with the InPrivate-/ Private-/ Incognito-/ window and enter the
URL https://outlook.office.com/Sharedmailboxaddress in it - The shared mailbox is Onprem - Open the browser with InPrivate-/ Private-/ Incognito-/ window and enter the
URL https://mail.ethz.ch/Sharedmailboxadress in it - Integrate the shared mailbox in Outlook as described under Integrate shared mailbox in Outlook 365
Access to public folders
The public folders can only be accessed with Outlook for Windows and for Mac (in legacy mode) until the end of the entire migration. After that it will work again with Outlook on the web.
Due to the technological differences between the cloud-based and our on-premises Exchange environment, connection interruptions may occur at times.
