There's also the problem where someone sends a reoccurring meeting, then leaves the company. The meeting can't be removed. Ever.

I wish there was a way to decline only future occurrences, though. I don't want to remove the previous meetings.

There used to be, I’m not kidding. I remember it still being around win 8. You could choose to respond to the specific meeting, the whole series, or only future occurences.

It was very useful, so of course Microsoft removed it

They did implement a fix for this, you have to have not deleted their mailbox, and use a powershell command, and you might need some hidden id if you don't want to delete all of them.

Im sure it'll only take 6 years for them to add a button in the admin centre, right?

I wish they would implement the final fix and purge all microslop products fron the workplace. I'm canadian and we're supposed to not buy american unless we have no alternative...

Thank god europe is working on FOSS alternatives and open standards... it might just save us.

Sadly the UK is welded at the hip to Microslop, and America in general for that matter.

Yeah... when the british empire basically exhausted itself after two WWs they latched on to the new rising power pretty hard to prop themselves up. Just like what the US is likely to do eventually with China once it becomes obvious the US can't sustain its empire and China is the new rising power globally.

Oh man, I'd love to do something like this before being shit-canned. Just a little parting gift to remember me by.

Can't you just reset their password, log in as them, and cancel it?

Decline series. It removes it from your calendar.

Oh and if you do that there is no way to accept that again because it just disappears. You either have to find the original email or ask the person to invite you again.

...The person that left the company and won't be running that meeting anymore?

There's actually an option in Outlook to prevent that from happening which I definitely use. I want to be able to see the invitation in my inbox, so that I can see when it arrived, when which updates came, etc.

The only problem: that option isn't available AFAIK in the "new" outlook. Goddammit Microsoft.

Man, I hate it when a piece of software updates and is all nice-looking and whatnot... but doesn't at least have all the same features as the legacy one. Especially when it's a forced update. Microsoft loves to do this with Teams, Outlook, Word, etc.

Honestly, the new outlook is an enshitified outlook from all I can tell. Built as a web app (with resource usage to match), looks nice, but with less functionality. I really hope we can keep the standard outlook as long as possible.

I'm pretty sure the date until which you'll be allowed to use "Legacy" Outlook is tied to the type of license that you have. If I'm not mistaken it will be supported in 2024 LTSC until 2029 (supposedly), but other licenses will likely deprecate it sooner.

Which is why after 25 years of using outlook, I am figuring out how to make thunderbird my maine driver.

OneNote, too. I have a section where when someone creates a new page, it follows a template. Among other things, it contains the list of usual participants for a meeting series.

Now, the issue is that one of the people is long gone. And I can't do anything about that because they removed the ability to change the template.

New outlook is awful. When I first got forced to switch it didn't show you tooltip with where a link was actually going before clicking on it - you know, the thing literally every mandatory phishing training has told you to do!

They have actually fixed that now but it was ages without it.

My current pet peeve is it doesn't tell me about new emails in shared mailboxes. We have a shared support mailbox and I have to remember to go and check it manually. It doesn't even update the unread email count until you open the inbox.

New Outlook is such a pieceof shit.

Want to view mail headers to check if the mail is legit? Though tits, bro, no can do. Either save the mail as .eml and open it in a notes app or switch back to Outlook Classic.

Want to run a rule manually, but have notifications for it turned on? Lmao, are you stupid? You can't do that. This particular bug has been reported over a year ago and they still haven't fixed it.

I fucking hate working with this piece of shit and other Micro$lop products.
