Mail Merge from an Email - New Outlook
Hello All,
There have been some slight changes to Mail Merge in New Outlook; for example, the To line is now Recipient. Also, I discovered some limitations to using contact or distribution lists with Mail Merge in New Outlook and provided helpful suggestions for not having a personalized salutation.
The details are captured in my detailed blog post and video.

I also couldn't complete an email merge in New Outlook - had to revert to classic Outlook to send it. Hopefully this feature is being added soon, as it's a real problem for me if New Outlook gets mandated and I can't run email merges.
I received a new company machine and when I got back to load in New Outlook, this was appearing again and I was able to use it. It takes the email you have and sends it individually to users.
However, I did not see a way to customize the message with merge fields - hopefully something of that nature is coming or maybe I was just unable to figure out how to use it.
Hmm, I'm not even seeing that in the New Outlook, or I would have a play. I've talked with colleagues that also heavily rely on email merges, so I hope they figure it out!
