For a few years I’m noticing more and more weird and unexplainable behaviour in Outlook. We support mostly 365 Exchange Online clients on Windows workstations or RDS environments.
The amounts of unexplainable bullshit we face is staggering. Outlook not being able to open the folder set, weird MFA glitches, weird bugs in the UI and downright weird errors coming from nowhere is some of the stuff we face weekly.
Am I alone on this?
No, that’s been the Outlook experience since probably forever.
I’ve been doing this for 15 years daily now and it was never this bad. Not even when everyone ran Exchange on-prem with al the bullshit involved with that.
Ive found everything Microsoft makes buggy and error prone.
Flick the switch to new outlook. It’s way less shit.
Apparently Microsoft is already planning to kill the “new” Outlook with some AI native “new new” Outlook. So don’t get used to it too much I guess. Source: https://www.theverge.com/tech/806162/microsoft-outlook-ai-overhaul-notepad
Unless you want to send a hyperlink to a intranet address, then you’re SOL.
It is going EOL
