New Outlook Working Offline Phase 1: Rolled Out with Limitations
By "have" I mean, that it is enabled, I can adjust days, I can go offline and have access, BUT, I can't open new Outlook when offline. Read that again please: Outlook can't be opened offline, but throws an error that server is unavailable.
Great work Microsoft!! Great work.
As per almost every comment above, this really is astonishingly poor. What is the point of an application if it does nothing more than a web interface? What is the point of being able to locally store data if you are not able to access it? This really is functionality 101 and it is mind bending that users have been complaining about this for a year and it is not fixed.
andy2475 It is hard to know what to say. We are years into the development of a critical application, and you can't repoen it if it closes (or Windows crashes) when you are offline! Incredible.
You only have to look at the comments on the Windows store to see how well New Oulook is going down.
What is going on here?
So-called "New Outlook", new but lacking features of old/classic works well Outlook, offline mode does not work, period. Supposedly rolled out in 01/2024 and here it is 10/2024 and it does not work, period. Not to mention, another feature, ability to open PST/OST files from old/classic Outlook so a customers archived emails for decades can be accessed.
This stinks. I have a decade of work that I have to open old/classic/does the job Outlook to access and see.
It really stinks. I for one will start looking into other options... 10 months is too long to wait
