How to remove the unverified sender message?

Anonymous

Hi,

I keep getting an 'unverified sender' message in Outlook (desktop and web app). I've added the address to 'trusted sender' and I've whitelisted the domain but still keep getting it.

The sender is 'trusted' and a reputable domain.

Is there anything else I can do on my side or is it down to the sender?

Many thanks,

Charlie

    Well said! Thank you for your comment. I would say many of us are not IT formally trained and are not a part of that profession. So even if the feature is a part of a new standard for cybersecurity, Microsoft could allow for a more user friendly option. Apart from that I have nothing else to decry.

    If you have information to share, how about doing it in a less condescending way? The point here is that this "feature" appeared with no explanation and no control provided for the user. For many of us, this is actively interfering with our businesses and causing us both time and grief. Most people who are paying for a service expect that the service will benefit them in some way, not cause additional grief.

    I worked in IT for years and folks like you are the reason so many non-tech people have a low opinion of IT professionals. Would you appreciate it if a lawyer talked down to you when you didn't understand some aspect of the law? It's our job to assist people in understanding the technology and how to make it work for them. As someone who works in the area of fraud prevention, I get why some standard is necessary. However, making the process so onerous that everyone finds a way around it kind of defeats the purpose.

    You lack the technological ability to understand what this feature is and how it is setup. This feature is required globally by all email providers as apart of a new standard to prevent cyber attacks.

    This is the only way forward. Do not decry something you find annoying simply because you do not understand.

    It sucks because whoever manages your Email domain screwed it up.

    Yes, I am getting this "warning" on messages from co-workers within my same domain and it is beyond annoying. I am pushing hard for us all to move to another email system. I hate Outlook

    I am one of those invisible (until now) people who are frustrated and resentful that I have to deal with all this visual and so-far unfixable noise. About 20% of my messages show up as "unverified", even though they are all part of my ongoing business and come from ESTABLISHED platforms. I do not for ONE SECOND believe that the messages I am getting are from "dirty" sources, regardless of Microsoft's explanations about codes.

    Based on this issue, I have already been contemplating other approaches to my email requirements. And if I do switch my email to another mechanism/platform, I will also evaluate the entire Microsoft Office platform. I already have been using Google's products for some of my projects, so perhaps I should go a bit further and migrate ALL of my work, accordingly.

    MICROSOFT! Give me an option to get rid of the noise without exhausting me with technical notes and Herculean efforts. I suggest allowing us to turn off this function (it's NOT a feature). For me, this is actually a requirement.

    AND.... I NOW NEED TO KNOW THAT MY OUTGOING EMAILS AREN'T GETTING FLAGGED AS UNVERIFIED.
