So which one are you actually talking about?

I think he's referring to the no pst support..., that's the entry that is link-highlighted when I click on his link, anyway...
PST is so 18th century!!!

I still don’t understand which version, are you saying both versions, Edwin?

Maybe it’s me, I don’t know. I have not had a good start to the year with my comprehension condition. I’ve actually started to read backwards. Dr’s are a little baffled.

For irrelevant reasons I had to clean reinstall Office 365 which obviously included Outlook.

I'm gonna try that..., see if it goes to on me!!!

Could you please clarify eaxactly which Outlook you are referring to? So far you have mentioned two different versions. Outlook for Windows and Outlook in Offce 365.

This is the bane of multiple forums across the internet, through no fault of the unknowing and/or inexperienced user.

Microsoft quite frequently shoots themselves in the foot by "common" naming their products under the guise of "standardisation". They did it way back when they released Windows XP, then MS OfficeXP (renamed from MS Office 2002. Sheer stupidity). It's happened a couple of other times which escape me. They need to give responsibility for product naming to users, not a bunch of backroom PR plonkers.

If it wasn't for cries for help about MS Outlook and OneDrive, half the forums on the 'net would cease to exist.

As an OS, Microsoft's Windows is getting near to perfect. Just leave the 3rd party add-ons to experts and we can all go back to Wordperfect.

I am beginning to feel like a newby here, all because of Microsoft's naming policy and the general use of the word App for what used to be referred to as programs or software.
As I think I have said elsewhere in this thread, I am using what MS says is Outlook (New) and was downloaded automatically as part of my Office subscription to my desktop computer. This is the Home screen.
I'm getting too old for this.

@TraderGary
Where is your OUTLOOK.EXE located?
I find it hard to believe @Sigurd doesn't have one!

It isn’t your fault and I am just a grumpy because I am letting my health issues get in the way of my understanding and being helpful. My apologies.

That looks to me to be Outlook from Office 365, @Sigurd

There is a new Outlook App that is taking the place of Mail/Calendar/People for Windows. It has a try the new Outlook toggle top right. It is independent of Office 365.

There is also the Outlook that is in the Office suite (Office 365) that also had a toggle top right to try the new Outlook, that is the New Outlook for Office 365, which is different from the App taking place of Windows Mail... But from what you have said, you are no longer getting the option in 365, it is just defaulting to the new version of Outlook in Office 365

I know, it’s as clear as mud.

My wife#s installation on her PC shows that. I've told her to well clear of it.

You have my sympathies - I have a few as well, and on top of that our gas meter has sprung a slight leak and we are currently waiting for Octopus engineer to arrive and replace it. In the meantime not much heat around.

Sigurd, that is the general location of Office Suite files. I doubt that the Outlook app that is replacing Mail for Windows would reside in there also. So that would belong to Outlook from Office 365

I feel this is getting a bit silly but I decided to retrace my steps. This is all done on my desktop computer.
So with apologies for being so pedantic, this is what I did,
After I reinstalled Windows 11, I searched in Google for
How do I reinstall my Office 365 apps" and used the

Download and install or reinstall Microsoft 365 or Office ... link that came up..​

That led me to


where I was greeted in big shiny letters "Don't panic" and a Home screen that told me that

Office is now Microsoft 365​

The all-new Microsoft 365 lets you create, share and collaborate all in one place with your favourite apps.

Next step was to sign in which I duly did

At the top right of the shiny new screen, was a "Install apps" box to click. I duly did that and all the Office apps, including whatever version of Outlook was included by Microsoft in this installation, were installed. This screen also included links to my recent Word documents which is why i am not showing the link.

Now I haven't repeated that so I can't be sure whether or not I was asked what version of Outlook I wanted. I don't recall being asked.
