Outlook Random Actions

Question

This has been happening for a while. I can be typing up an email but then suddenly a new email tab will be created or a selected email will be archived or moved.... How do I prevent this from happening?

Answer 1

This is unbelievable and frustrating, time-wasting, and unacceptable for an application adopted by so many big companies.

Issue: while writing an email on outlook (online interface), suddenly a new mail is created, or the mail I'm writing is archieved.

Impossible to use the program. Did not happen until some months ago.

Please fix, it is embarassing.

Answer 2

The same thing happens to me. My employer forces Outlook on me for whatever reason, and since I need Linux I'm forced to use the online client. Even with keyboard shortcuts disabled Outlook will start archiving random mails and opening new tabs while I'm typing any ordinary mail.

Please fix this nonsense.

Answer 3

I turned off keyboard shortcuts but I'm still having the issue where when I type random things will happen. Instead of typing it will start searching the page like if I were to press "ctrl + f" it will open other emails, etc
