[Macpartners] Outlook 2016 troubles

[Timothy Yager]

Scott,

You are not alone on this. Speaking for myself, the latest patches are nothing but trouble. You might find better success not doing the latest patch but staying around 15.19.1 as that patch seems to be the last stable release within our environment.

On one user’s machine I now have a new occurrence of this problem:

I’m starting to contemplate making an official move back to the 2011 suite, but I’m not quite there yet.
