Outlook not implemented or Limited connection warning
Hello everyone, I'm here to share a problem I'm encountering more and more often with my customers, and perhaps find a solution thanks to your feedback. The problem: It only affects Office 2019 (Standard and Pro Plus). From one day to the next, Outlook stops working properly. Impossible to send or receive emails: a “Not implemented” message appears. In the File tab, it shows a limited connection with a suggestion to upgrade to Outlook 2016. What I tried: I've tested several solutions found on the Internet, but the only one that seems to work is to delete a registry key: Copy the code HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SecurityManager\CapAuthz\ApplicationsEx After a little digging, I notice that : The rights to the CapAuthz folder disappear on their own. By restoring these rights, the “Not implemented” error disappears. The problem: For some customers, the solution works, but : For others, it doesn't work at all. Sometimes, after a reboot, the problem comes back. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this problem before, or do you have a more stable solution? I welcome any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Outlook starts and then closes immediately
Is there any way to restore Outlook (desktop version, classic) to a working state? After Windows updates and user rights updates, Outlook went into a state where it opens but immediately closes afterwards. I have three different email accounts connected to Outlook, and now I can no longer access two of them over the network. Outlook’s email databases are in .ost format, which means I cannot access them in any way anymore. I read that this problem has been reported before, but I haven’t been able to fix it. It’s crucial for me to access the .ost emails (there are over 100,000). Could anyone help or know a working solution to this issue? (I have already reinstalled the programs, etc.)What’s new and coming to Microsoft Outlook – Ignite 2024

New Outlook for Windows showing the new drafting with Copilot experience What is new andcoming to the new Outlook for Windows The new Outlook for Windows is a reimagined experience designed to be more agile and innovative. With faster feature deployment and availability, it brings the latest Microsoft 365 Copilot capabilities and delivers a consistent experience across Windows. As we continue to work on your feedback to bring you the best experience for the new Outlook for Windows, there are some updates we want to share. Where we are We reached General Availability for commercial customers this year and are still in opt-in phase with optional policies for organizations that want to move their users into new Outlook. To see all our adoption content please visit https://aka.ms/newOutlookAdoption and continue sending us your feedback at https://aka.ms/newOutlookFeedback to help us prioritize our work. What to expect Over the past few years, we have been in an opt-in phase for the new Outlook. As we plan to transition to an opt-out model, some organizations have already begun migrating on their own. We anticipate that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with Microsoft 365 for business plans will begin to be moved into this phase starting in January 2025, and with customers withMicrosoft 365 for enterprises licenses following in 2026. Importantly, there will still be an option to revert to the previous version if needed. In the coming year, we expect more organizations to expand their piloting and planning efforts for the new Outlook. During this phase, we encourage you to file DCRs and submit feedback both within the app and through your account teams. Graph showing the current state and estimated timelines What to do next The new Outlook migration journey has 3 main steps. Pre-migration, migration, and post-migration. Pre-Migration: During pre-migration, admins and their IT teams should learn as much as they can about the migration - What the migration entails and the implications for their organization. This also involves early migration piloting. Migration: The migration step is when the migration is executed. Piloting continues and the migration process evolves and becomes more extensive. Post-Migration: Finally, in post-migration, IT is wrapping up the activities from the second step. They’re also decommissioning the previous experience and learning to improve subsequent migrations. Graph showing the migration stages for the new Outlook for Windows Plan your migration Review the migration kit - https://aka.ms/newOutlookAdoption Admin control options - https://aka.ms/newOutlookControlRelease Learn about policy management - Policy Management - Deploy Office Prepare to manage updates and set up early adopters on Targeted Release Transition from COM to web add-ins - Migrate from COM to web add-ins and review a list of available web add-ins. We hope all these updates help you be more productive, save time, and plan your migration to the next phase. Please, keep sending us your feedback – It really helps us focus our work. Thanks!
Unable to add calendar entry - error outook data file has reached maximum size

The registry entries for max file sizes do not exist. Any ideas? Thanks for the help!
Adding social media links to contacts
Hi. First post here. Can't find much searching for info on this. I'd love to be able to have fields in my contact records where I could put in people's social media links. It would be nice to click on a social media icon and go to their page (like you can if I put my links into my email signature). So in every one of my contacts, I could enter in links for that person. Or it could find them automatically. It seems that this was the idea behind the social connector which went away? Seems this would be an extremely common thing to want to do, am I missing some simple function or procedure for accomplishing this?Folder Pane is Missing in New Outlook
After a recent Microsoft update in October 2024, some users, including myself, reported missing the "FAVORITES pane" in the left navigation even when the "Show Favorites" was selected. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working on fixing it. It is scheduled to roll out in the first week of November. My Current state: The favorites list appears in Outlook Classic and Web versions but not in New Outlook for Windows. Troubleshoot: I tried multiple recommended solutions based on web searches, but none worked. I will share some of them with you so you don't waste time trying them. Reboot my computer Remove and re-add my Outlook account Window + R, then type outlook.exe /resetnavpane Close all Outlook apps. Navigate to c://users/yourprofilename/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Outlook Then, make a backup of the XML file and delete it. Relaunch New Outlook. From the search bar, type Outlook (new). Then, uninstall New Outlook and reinstall it. I tried the Repair Tool and theSupport and Recovery Assistant Workaround: Wait patiently for the fix, for I am lost without my favorites.😁 As a workaround, I have moved my top three favorite folders under the Inbox for easy access. I will return to this thread with an update once it is fixed.If you find this information helpful, please mark it as the best response, which will assist others with the same issue. /Teresa #traccreations4e 10/29/2024
