    The operation cannot be performed because the message has been changed


    I again and again have the infuriating experience that I start composing an email and when I finally hit the send button then I get the subject error message.

    Of course it has been changed! I just wrote it! *Mad What is this darn BS message supposed to tell me? What freaking bug is causing this? What can't I send off my newly written email?

    I then always need to create another new email, copy address, subject and content of the screwed up email over and only then I can send it off? This so darn infuriating! What is causing this?

    Its one of those Outlook bugs that sits there since years if not decades. Why does this never get fixed?

  2. Outlook 2019: Operation cannot be performed because the message...

    I'm using Outlook 2019 with Gmail via IMAP. When I open a message, click on Move and then select the folder I want to move to, I receive the message "The operation cannot be performed because the message has been changed". I didn't change the message in any way that I'm aware of, such as downloading pictures.

    If I close the message, and attempt to move it from the list of messages, it usually moves just fine, although sometimes I get the same error.

    Any ideas?

    Hi there
    sometimes COPY then DELETE works -- I know a 2 stage process but it's an easy get around until other problem is fixed.

    Cheers

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
