Under the New Outlook Mail App I can't select which email address I want to use.. I'm of the opinion to switch Browsers (???)  Thoughts & Opinions Appreciated, Cheers Thanks

Hi:

I can't help you directly, as (thankfully) I no longer need to use any form of "Outlook".
I'm sure someone who does use it will be able to assist.

But, if you want to make your head spin, have a read:

Having said that, if you're using a BROWSER to access your email, then you are using a WEBMAIL version, not a standalone email client. The latter does not use/need a browser, per se. So, switching browsers will have no direct impact.

Were all email addresses added to Outlook? You would see them listed when you open "mail" in Control Panel.

Most of our users who switched to new Outlook version had issues, same for Teams. I usually don't recommend switching to the new versions when they are released.

 

When you say "Outlook App", you mean the one from Microsoft Store or the software from the Office suite ?

 

When you said "I tried, but was not happy", you wen back to the previous version or you're sitll using the new one ? Could you please share the version number you're using ?

The one in OS Mail is obsolete.

 

"Mail in Windows 10 and 11 has preset server configurations for Outlook.com, Office 365, Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo! Mail.^[14][15][16]AOL Mail, as well as other Exchange Server and IMAP accounts, can still be added, and POP3 support has returned.^[14][16][17] Newsgroup/Usenet support remains absent."

 

"In 2023, Microsoft announced that beginning in 2024, new Windows 11 devices would be shipped with the new Outlook for Windows, and that the default Windows Mail and Calendar applications would be replaced by the end of 2024"
