Kiosk Account setup in Outlook 2016 broken after new and improved setup dialog
- Sep 14, 2018You're not getting this. The Outlook Web client supplied the POP3 settings for desktop outlook. That's how it used to work.
Outlook desktop was talking to POP3 mailboxes since, uh, I dunno, version RC1?
Hi Alan, I understand you man...
But understand that this is a forum driven mostly by volunteers, and we have no real power or insight into what "the man" is planning.
I know you have Outlok connected via POP3, but thats just your luck, it has always been written clearly that Outlook "the client" is not supported. Even though it might have worked, you are still in an unsupported situation, and can't claim any kind of redemtion or excuses from Microsoft. That's all I'm trying to say.
I get mad at this kinda stuff all the time, so I get it,I really do! but these are the facts.
Now if you are into the unsupported way of doing things, I suggest you go with an older version of Outlook which can support the connection just like you used to.
I tried with the new one, and like you said, this is not really working as one might hope.
But my trusty old Thunderbird email client works, so maybe give that a try? (it's free, so that good :))
