Outlook (new new new final)
_2024-06-07_edited_FINAL
ISO: 07-06-2024
Maybe I’m missing the joke but that is not ISO
It’s in 1068-OSI format
5318008 .beats since epoch
Now THAT’S a good one
Just missing Outlook(1) and Outlook(OLD DONT USE)
I cannot believe they did this shit.
Every time I look at the teams icon with the word new on it, my brain thinks that means there are messages.
We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …
And the new Teams is not simply a replacement, no. It’s called “Teams (for work or school)” or something, while the old app is “Teams classic”. Both look the same and are the same sluggish mess. So why exactly did we do all that crap?
And they would use at least a quarter or your RAM.
uNuSeD rAm Is WaStEd RaM!!!
All I know is that one of them has a /v2/ subpath on its URL, and the other has nothing.
Oh, and calls work in Firefox one the /v2/ one. That’s an important difference.
What I really don’t know is why they kept pestering me for months to make sure my browser supports the new version (where they know what my browser is, and only published enough requirements to tell IE won’t work) while they only changed stuff that makes it work better on it.
Also the “we’re setting things up for you” or whatever user-dumb-hide-details crap the Teams PWA throws on your screen while launching is just… As if there was a live team of engineers carefully configuring your current Teams instance so that it starts up right. (A bit off-topic, but current trend of software “speaking to users in patronising manner” is annoying af. Unless it’s up to or exceeding HAL-3000 level, it should be abolished.)
“please use our spyware so we can syphon more of your personal info to get more quarterly profit… We are begging you. See how many apps we have for mail?”

Don’t worry everyone, I’m here to help:

Outlook New Grand Final Beta (New)
Outlook (newest)(new)
Outlook (New) is such garbage. Web app, and doesn’t support plugins. Less functionality over all. Pathetic.
IIRC it also stores your account password server side and stores your emails there too, it’s literally just webmail.
New outlook is less functional but much better UI design (it’s just outlook web access after all). Outlook hasn’t changed in forever because so many corporate high ups use it and think they know how it works. They always respond to emails that are already answered because they didn’t see the newer reply in their inbox. I suspect this resistance is why it’s a totally separate program to the old outlook. Yes, there are settings to group threads in outlook, but the interface is still pretty unintuitive and the vast majority of these users don’t change their default settings anyway. In my experience the terrible defaults create more problems than outlook solves. And the server syncing can be really slow at times. Personally, I’m very happy that MS is finally showing some interest to modernize outlook, the more people who use it the easier my job will get.
Also ya the name is stupid. Teams (New) gets me the most. Idk who possibly thought this naming scheme was a good idea.
The new all new outlook(new(yess realy new(fr)))
“fam check this code I just yeeted out”
It’s even funnier when something like this happens to me and our IT guy goes I don’t remember installing that version…
Probably didn’t, it’s microsofts dumb roll out of their updated with functionality removed deployment
Took them almost a year to add the ability to open .eml files in the new client.
That’s because the new one is just the existing web app that loads inside an Edge instance so they were basically starting from scratch. I realized that when I discovered I couldn’t open the new version on my laptop that I had uninstalled Edge from.
Oh, and MS is killing the old version. Joy.
We still use on-prem Exchange with Microsoft Office at work, and it’s really becoming a problem. Microsoft already auto adds shortcuts for 365 (which we don’t use and doesn’t work with our setup), and the “Mail” app (which also doesn’t work with out setup), and now I have to explain to people to use the regularly titled Outlook icon and not the “Outlook (new)” icon (which again, won’t work with our setup).
GPOs should solve that
For the next 4 weeks
GPOs seldom break just like that.
Local policies are possibly more volatile but not GPOs
You’ve missed the point; group policies are being ignored and break with every other update as Microsofts cadence and quality assurance continues to enshitify.
Stop calling out my commit messages… I swear “fixed bug x (for real this time)(ok now it should be fixed) added feature y” is a valid commit message scheme.
If you want to fix it take a look at the conventional git commits standard. No need to read a huge document it says what to do quickly on the website.
I’d rather add more Jira stories.
Are you an employee at Valve? lol
Tbh i think Microsoft has a better track record of breaking, fixing and then un-fixing their software
Maybe; but Valve has plenty of patch notes that say “X fixed,” but it’s not actually fixed and then the next update says “X fixed. No really this time.” lol
This is such a perfect demonstration of how useless Microsoft’s ecosystem is. It’s better than being forced to work in an Apple exclusive environment but “we’re a windows shop” is one of the biggest red flags an employer can have.
Can New outlook even open eml?? I remember it couldn’t just a few months ago.
It now can but not always. Still easier to point the default app to old outlook.
An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.
Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?
I am not a developer
Microsoft having 4 tabs for howtos depending on outlook version sums this up lol
As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:
Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.

For whatever reason, this one makes me very angry.
