in New minimum Outlook for Windows version requirements for Microsoft 365 on Aug 14 2022 06:13 PM
Thanks for your response. Two items:1) I'm still not sure if I need to only download the updates for Outlook 2016 or download the entire suite for Office Professional Plus 2016. Hopefully I only need the updates for Outlook 2016. 2) Do you have a link for the notice of the "end date" of April 2023? ...

@Marc Laflamme, I had this same problem. It seems that you have to be an OWNER to submit your REPLY to a request. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me. I'm not sure if there's permissions to something else that need to be resolved, or if this is just a bug. I was experimenting with this i...
