Does New Outlook Work Offline
Does New Outlook Work Offline
On Oct 19, 2024 I did some testing and I would not say it was reliable yet. In time I’m sure Microsoft will have a better offline version, I would think they have to as some people aren’t online all the time because of travel, flights/location, etc.
Few things I found:
- I did turn off my internet and launched New Outlook. The first time, no emails would do a draft to reply. I got a white space. I could not view any emails in folders. Then I toggled internet back on, then off and it seemed to be happier and I could reply but not view some of the emails in folders. Maybe if I gave it more time it would load up more but I’m in testing mode now so I’ll update when I have more results.
- I also found you can go back 180 days for offline use, see image below on where to change the settings
- I also tried to send a message offline but when I went back online, they never sent. I got an error. I had to resend it again.
- Offline should be on by default, you can click on the gears in the upper right corner and then you can see the offline settings here
