MicrosoftI got this "update" this morning and thought I'd try it. Boy, what a mistake. It's now a year later from this posting and NONE of the shared mailboxes or additional accounts showed up for my account. Nor did there appear anyway to add them. I quickly uninstalled.
As soon as I'm done here I'll be turning it off for all my users.
UPDATE: Turned off for all my users and I'm keeping my fingers crossed none updated.
Shouldn't the tenant for new updates be "do no harm"? It's great to try new UIs and reprogram to make code more efficient, but to take away some very core features (at least for my users) is quite shameful (I'm trying to be polite here). Anyway, I know I'm just a voice in the wind and Microsoft will, as usual, not listen to their users.
UPDATE #2: Here's what I'm sending out to my users, even though I have run the powershell to make it False, as we know PowerShell isn't always the best at applying the update quickly. Good luck everyone that has any number of users.
Microsoft Update??? 🙄
If you see this in Outlook Desktop, our recommendation at this time is to NOT slide it ON. Based on early feedback, Microsoft has “updated” (and as a techie I used the term very loosely) Outlook to be in alignment with the browser-based version. Key features such a Shared Mailboxes and support for multiple signatures is missing.
Eventually Microsoft will likely force the update, but hopefully by then they’ll come to their senses and include the missing features.
So, in the meantime, this is one time, being an early adopter isn’t a good thing.
