Question around the minimum Office version topic. Will Outlook version for which dont match minimum versions stop connecting on November 1st? Or is it a they might stop but we wont support if they do? Thinking more of the 2016 clients which may be a patch out of date (MSI installs) and fall just short of the minimum version.

Yes, in theory that'll start happening on Nov 1, i.e. blocking of older/unsupported Outlook versions/builds (it takes time to deploy any such changes globally in service). Outlook users should be using minimum required versions/builds or best, the latest versions/builds to connect to their Exchange Online mailboxes in M365, as mentioned in the blog post linked below. With that said, getting to older builds of Outlook 2013 and 2016 users will take some time, as we plan to start with Outlook 2007 & 2010, as those two versions have been out of support since 2017 & 2020 respectively. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/new-minimum-outlook-for-windows-version-requirements-for/ba-p/2684142
