Juts checking with 2010 outlook version
PrashanthKasula Following. Just ran into this with 5 users at a company we support.
- Same for us just today, for users using Outlook 2010
- same here

not all clients - also they have the same outlook version
tried to uninstall teams - perhaps this forces the message -> not the solution.
any idea? nothing change in environment.
- What`s going on with microsoft?? suffocate its users?
where MS want to go? to pay for use? monthly payments?
I think that Mr. gates, aging isn`t doing any good.- No, older versions generally don't support all the latest security features. For the product to remained certified it has been secure. Look at cars today, they all have ABS, driver assist lane change, airbags, etc. All that costs more but keep you safer and is a requirement for all new vehicles. If you really wanted to you can still use older versions of Outlook and Exchange with POP3 and IMAP but they won;t be very secure.
RobertCrane Yeah, but if new safety features come out for cars, your current car doesn't just stop working.
- There is a rolling upgrade of the Exchange system which is now onto 2010 and this will stop any connectivity from the client. Full details here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/new-minimum-outlook-for-windows-version-requirements-for/ba-p/2684142
- Does anyone know if this blocking will affect Outlook for companies that have a self-hosted Exchange Server?
PrashanthKasula It all depends on what version on Exchange server is self-hosted. The later the Exchange version, the less likely older version of Outlook will be supported. To be honest 2016 is really the minimum these days and perhaps 2013 with patches, but really 2016 is what is still considered a mainstream client I would suggest.
- me too, 2022 version
