Allocate a task to someone

It seems that the behavior of the "Allocate Task" feature in Outlook for Windows has changed, and the specific "Accept" button may not be available in all versions or configurations.

In recent versions of Outlook, the recipient of an allocated task should still receive an email message with the task details. However, the process of accepting and adding the task to their Tasks list may be different. Here are some alternative steps to try:

1. The recipient can open the email message containing the allocated task.

2. Within the email, they should look for options such as "Accept," "Open Task," or "Open in Tasks."

3. Clicking on any of these options should open the task in a separate window or in the Tasks module of Outlook.

4. From there, the recipient can review the task details and choose to either save it to their own Tasks list or mark it as complete.

If these steps don't match the options available to the recipient or if they are still unable to add the task to their Tasks list, it's recommended to consult with your organization's IT support or refer to the Outlook documentation for specific instructions based on your Outlook version and configuration.

Again, I apologize for any confusion caused, and I appreciate your understanding.
