      No, older versions generally don't support all the latest security features. For the product to remained certified it has been secure. Look at cars today, they all have ABS, driver assist lane change, airbags, etc. All that costs more but keep you safer and is a requirement for all new vehicles. If you really wanted to you can still use older versions of Outlook and Exchange with POP3 and IMAP but they won;t be very secure.

        RobertCrane Yeah, but if new safety features come out for cars, your current car doesn't just stop working.

  • PrashanthKasula It all depends on what version on Exchange server is self-hosted. The later the Exchange version, the less likely older version of Outlook will be supported. To be honest 2016 is really the minimum these days and perhaps 2013 with patches, but really 2016 is what is still considered a mainstream client I would suggest.

    Does anyone know if this blocking will affect Outlook for companies that have a self-hosted Exchange Server?

        same here
        exchange 2013 on prem
        not all clients - also they have the same outlook version
        tried to uninstall teams - perhaps this forces the message -> not the solution.
        any idea? nothing change in environment.
