Have you tried enabling this feature? Both commands "Get-ExternalInOutlook" and "Set-ExternalInOutlook" are not recognized on my end. We are using the Exchange Online Service and I even used the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module.

I'll second this. Connecting with the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module and running Get-ExternalInOutlook results in "The term 'Get-ExternalInOutlook' is not recognized [...]"
The Message Center article (MC243047) says the command is available now but my guess is that it will take some time for this feature to roll out to all tenants, or is dependent on an unreleased version of the powershell module.
Anyone from MS have any idea when this will actually be available?

I just ran the powershell commands again today and they worked this time.
If it's still not working for anyone else, you might just need to wait a bit more for it to be available in your tenant.
As for the original purpose of this thread - hopefully someone will have some idea if/when Outlook for Windows will get the tag feature as well.
- ddivina16Mar 15, 2021Copper ContributorDoes anyone verify that this feature is working on your tenant? I have enabled the feature but it is still not working after 4 days.
- JChupMar 15, 2021Brass ContributorI enabled this 7 days ago for our tenant but still don't have any clients, iOS or Android, showing the external tag. I've been hoping, like all things Microsoft that it will just take some more time, but at this point I feel we might need to open a support ticket to get things working.
