When will MS block Outlook 2007 from connecting to Office 365 / Exchange Online
Strange as it definitely still works, I'll try and get hands on with one or install 2007 in a VM to see whats going on.
Hi,
Per my understating it will not be blocked, you just simply not get support if you keep using Outlook 2007. Is there any reason to use such old version Outlook version? From the same article:
"I'm using Office 365 with Outlook 2007 or an earlier version. What actions do I have to take?
MAPI over HTTP was not backported to Outlook 2007 or earlier versions. If you're using Outlook 2007, you will be in an unsupported state on October 31, 2017."
Might be the case indeed, I was under the impression that it was going to be blocked, but "not supported" means something different of course :) I'll reach out to some folks to get a proper answer.
Thanks VasilMichev
OK, so yes, it should work as MS is not deliberately blocking RPC/HTTP. It's simply unsupported, meaning if you run into issues with it, they will just tell you to upgrade. But connectivity with 2007 should still be possible. Sorry for misleading you :)
