For whatever reason, outlook has been bugging me for a whole month, because it thinks it has an open dialogue box that doesn’t exists.
The fix? Create a whole new profile.
Does Outlook for Linux support delegated mailboxes? My one client forces us to use those…
No idea. I don’t use outlook on Linux. Depends also whether you use the legacy outlook or not
This made my laugh so hard. I’ve been having trouble with outlook recently.
I tried thunderbird’s new exhange native, and then some of the paid thunderbird extensions but it looks like my school disables it.
I also use Thunderbird, but one of my clients forces us to use delegated mailboxes and that looks like a proprietary feature created by Microsoft to lock in customers.
So, web Outlook has had a bug with Single-Sign-On for many months now. It independently checks an own cookie, whether it should log you out, so it can happen that you log in via SSO and then it immediately triggers the logout flow of your SSO provider to log you back out.
Well, and when I say “can happen”, I mean that this happens every single morning, unless I clear Outlook’s cookies beforehand.
So, every morning before I start working, I hit Ctrl+Shift+H in Firefox to bring up the history, type “outlook” into the search, right-click an entry and then select “Forget About This Site” to clear the cookies.Except, through the magic of doing this regularly, I’ve started typing just enough to make the Outlook entries appear at the top. Which isn’t actually much shorter, but I noticed that I always just type “outloo”.
Which sounds like a combination of “outhouse” and “loo”. Which very much summarizes my feelings towards this Microsoft™ service, every time I have to do this. Which is every single morning. Fucking hell.
Exact same problem. It has been there for several years. Incognito mode is also a workaround. Do you know exactly which cookie it is? Maybe we can code a Firefox extension to remove it.
Of all the software I use daily, Outlook for desktop has been the most annoying and useless.
