I accidentally emptied my spam folder on outlook.com. I need to restore one of the e-mails....

>>

* I had problems adding an outlook.com account, using the cryptic one that is displayed in the web app.

I then created a new one under my name, used that along with my Microsoft login password, and surprisingly this worked.

The cryptic one is still displayed in the web app - *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***, can I change this?

>>

Is the cryptic one an address like outlook_big-ugly-code@outlook ? If so, you need to set an outlook.com address as the profile on the account.

Outlook.com email account appears as "outlook_[long series of letters and numbers]@outlook.com" in Outlook for Windows

* Now, when I start Outlook Desktop, it always goes to the Inbox of the outlook.com account.

How can I change this so it's the inbox of the IMAP mail account? (as I'm used to)

>>

File > Options > Advanced - near the top is an option to choose the Startup folder. Select the inbox in the IMAP account.

Screenshots are here:

* I assume the mails in the outlook.com account are just a copy of the associated mail account.

I.e. I cannot do all mail work from @outlook.com but still need to visit my IMAP account to delete mails. Correct?

>>

Correct - because Outlook desktop will not let you properly send mail from the connected accounts - they will always have the on behalf of tag.

>>

* For Outlook desktop, is Microsoft's recommendation to just use the outlook.com account, or to also have the associated accounts included?

I don't think Microsoft ever made a recommendation. My recommendation is to add the accounts to outlook desktop if you need to send mail from the address so its not send on behalf of. If you are just getting incoming mail only, then you don't need it in outlook desktop.

Many thanks for your quick response, Diane!
<br />I shall switch to English, to be as clear as possibe in my further questions.
<br />Your explanations clarifys a lot.
<br />I have added my main mail account (IMAP) to the web app, and I can see those emails.
<br />I have added an outlook.com account to Outlook desktop, and moved calendar and contacts to that account.
<br />This works as well. Appointments and contacts are visible in the web app, and Android sync still seems to work.
<br />I might try to add outlook.com to Outlook on Android as well to see how that goes.
<br />Anyway, there are still a couple of questions left:
<br />

• I had problems adding an outlook.com account, using the cryptic one that is displayed in the web app.
  I then created a new one under my name, used that along with my Microsoft login password, and surprisingly this worked.
  <br />The cryptic one is still displayed in the web app - *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***, can I change this?

I think you dont understand.
I got back my emails and the account, BUT to recover accounts on other sites connected with this old "s****** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***" I need to get those emails.
But as I deleted the alias "s****** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***" to be more protected against this hacker, I noticed that I also cant receive emails sent to this adress. That was never mentioned during the delete process. And thats why I need the help of the technical support to implement back the possibility to receive emails to that adress ... !

Hello Diane,
<br />after almost 2 weeks now, I'm happy with the new setup - except for one thing.
<br />My outlook.de account (which I have set as profile on the account, as per your advice) is receiving all the mails from my main IMAP account (t-online.de).
<br />Which is not an issue for me on Windows desktop, but on Android. Because the Android app always opens a view of incoming mail for all accounts, which means that I basically see all emails twice - the t-online-de orginal, as well as the one redirected to outlook.de. This is annoying.
<br />I have tried to eliminate the outlook.de mails by setting up rules (to move in a separate folder, or even delete those mails), but these rules don't run automatically on Outlook desktop on incoming mail. The rules have no effect until I open the rules dialog and manually select them to run.
<br />Ideally, the mails redirected from t-online.de to outlook.de account would be removed from the inbox already on the server. I have also defined rules under Automatic Replies - Rules (one for TO: my t-online.de address, another one for TO: my outlook.de address) but also these don't have any effect.
<br />What am I doing wrong here?
<br />What can I do to not see two entries for all my emails when opening Outlook in Android?
<br />

Hi Sneha,
thanks for your fast response.
Unfortunately I do not work on an installed version of forms.
I work on the browser-solution via Chrome.
Here I can't find any option to update my version -> guess it should be the latest one anyway?
Also I do not see anything about branching in the settings of my form.
Best regards,
Doris
