Just like my post last week about amazing changes coming ahead for Outlook Classic users, the Gmail crowd gets it’s own post. I have come up with a nice list of changes they will enjoy, or so I think anyway. This comes from the clients asking questions such as “Why doesn’t my Outlook work with Gmail like my Microsoft accounts?” or my favorite “Why do my calendars not sync with my phone?”
Many of my current Google Workspace connector clients have made the switch mostly due to the GWSMO not functioning properly or once they know of the new functions.
If you’re using Gmail setup as IMAP or Google Workspace connector for Outlook Classic now, you can expect these changes when you switch to New Outlook. My next article will be a list of functions that don’t work and this might be a deal breaker for some of you. Moving your email to Microsoft Exchange might in your future, especially if you want to use the Teams button to schedule meetings.
Here are 13 function changes you might enjoy!

This is a new issue I am seeing lately. Today I was helping a client set up his New Outlook email. He set up an Outlook.com first, then his other Outlook.com email. But when we tried to add his Business 365 account, it would not set up due to “no license available” error. Unfortunately I didn’t get the exact error screenshotted but it was similar to what I just stated.
He was using Microsoft 2016, which only comes with the Outlook Classic. And the product is a download, installed on the computer. So for him to add that 365 account, he would need to subscribe to 365 apparently.
He did not want to do that as he had software that would not work with 365, so we set up Outlook Classic.

Final notes:
I helped a client this past week and we could not get MS Access to email from New Outlook. The client really loves New Outlook so I created a solution for him that works but not through New Outlook.
I launched Outlook Classic, pinnned to his task bar. Set all defaults to New Outlook and since his email is IMAP, both versions will sync his email. Now he can still send using Outlook Classic and the email will show up in New Outlook. This is the best solution for him as Access and New Outlook might not ever talk due to some VBA requirements. I did research a bit and saw it online after I offered this.

Question that live rent free in my head 😂
Back when I was doing all my first round testing of the technical limits of New Outlook, adding in PSTs was not available. Today I helped a client and his request was “I want to use new 365 so I can search all my data for a research project” and I had no idea how this was going to go. When I remoted in, I saw 23 PST and added his license to New Outlook and off we went! I got 21 added in fine, but New Outlook was cranky after that. So for now, we are letting it rest for a day or so, he will do some testing and then we add in 16 more! I’ll update with results.
