The fun part is that email is fine and if you had the old standalone Outlook using SMTP servers you wouldn't even notice the outage.
Exactly, the "new" Outlook is just a web wrapper. Nothing more.
Exchange online is down. Doesn't matter which client you're using (outlook old, new, whatever), when your exchange server isn't on-prem
Yes it does. Outlook classic still has all my email (well what IT lets me store locally) so I have my history and attachments. Microsoft is trying desperately to kill it to replace with their useless web wrapper that works worse than the browser.
if I only wanted webmail, I'd use the browser.
Fair enough, I was considering sending and receiving email as the only job to be done.
My Thunderbird client can see all the emails from my Outlook account, attachments included. Good luck doing that with the new Outlook
Fair enough, I was considering sending and receiving email as the only job to be done.
But somehow this one is down.
Well, you'd still notice since a significant share of your external partners/customers/vendors are on 365.
