Solved Rant-Overnight MS forced both Outlook 2021 and Outlook in Windows to Outlook New %#&@$ (yes that's a cuss word)


Hi Jimbo.

Yes I am thinking the same thing and I do believe it will become unavoidable. Edwin is the only person I know who has tried both.
I tried the new Outlook some months ago. I didn't mind it except that the Zoom plugin, which I use frequently for meetings, didn't work. So, I reverted back to the old Outlook.

Now I'm hesitant to toggle on the Try the new Outlook switch to see if the Zoom plugin works on it yet. Rather not take my chances.
Save system first then if no good restore.
You can still get the Free Macrium version at the majorgeeks website

Thanks, Jimbo. I have the paid version of Macrium and back up my main drive every morning. I guess I just don't want to have the hassle of having to restore if things go sideways! 😬

OK but the author of the blog post is just an ordinary Outlook team member.

Maybe the Zoom plugin will work by then! :D

Actually, Denis, he's a little more than that. He a technology journalist and he founded ghacks almost 20 years ago and has written almost 1500 articles about Windows going all the way back to XP days as well as stuff on Linux too.. I've read his stuff for years. From what I can tell, he's fairly respected amongst his peers

Good news and thanks, Linda.
I had a read. I have restored faith (until 2029 :D) Hopefully I'll still be around by then.

On a side note:
I can't remember email issues being such a p-i-t-a as the past 6 or 7 months!
For 12 years Mailbird Pro served me flawlessly, then, they gave me the ole greased pole and everything went to :poop:!
I must have tried 20 programs lately!
With the purchase of eM Client Pro Lifetime, Mr. Micek assured me of it's authenticity! I told him, if I get screwed around like Mailbird did to me, I'd seek him out, show up and wring his neck!!! (I got no reply!!!) :cool:
