"Browse groups" & "New Group" button missing from Home Tab in Outlook 2016
- Feb 01, 2017
It's by design I guess, but you can check the already created groups under "All groups" in the address book of Outlook 2016.
The buttons are not located on the Home tab for "generic" mail items, you need to select a Group first to get the Home tab updated with the relevant options.
That's true, but unlike OWA, in the rich client there is no such thing as "Browse groups" or "Discover", and can't even be added by customizing the Home tab.

I do have them though. What channel are you on? Check if there's newer Office version available.

OK, I see now.
I've taken the screenshot from an "Office 2016 Professional Plus" Outlook, same version as Luc Debois - which is btw. the fully updated version.
If I check an "Office 365 ProPlus" Outlook (FR, Deferred channel), I can see the "Browse Groups" on the ribbon indeed. So it seems this feature is not delivered to the perpetual license based Outlook 2016 versions yet.

See screencapture for Dutch version .. there you see the group "Groups" on the Home Tab.
I reinstall Office .. I have now MS Office professional Plus 2016 ... and the option isn't available anymore ... :-(
What is wrong or when will it be available in MS Office professional Plus 2016
