Outlook being Outlook
-
@Gearhead The computer is locked pretty tight. My best guesses are:
- The sysadmins made some kind of configuration change which messed things up.
or
- Maybe I used a different MS account for some purpose or other I don't recall and my computer card credentials use the last one, which was now wrong for web Outlook.
-
Good first guess. I think*** my Corporate Environment would eliminate the second. Thank you again for the WTF.
-
TIL the version of Outlook I have is incapable of reconnecting to the server if my VPN connection times out. Apparently I need to shut it down and then restart.
-
A perfect reason to use next time you need that "Sorry, I haven't received your email" excuse.
-
@boomzilla are you on the fancy new web version?
-
@Arantor I mostly use the web version but this was on the customer's machine, which has the standalone app installed. And I'm not typically continually using it so it goes to sleep and then I have to wake it up and reconnect the VPN several times per day.

@boomzilla could still be the web version - latest version is an Electron thing.
