Outlook add-in web view deprecation

As communicated in our deprecation notes, we are now finally deprecating the Internet Explorer 11 and Edge Legacy web views for the Outlook add-in. This means, that going forward, only a selected amount of bug fixes will be ported back to users still relying on those web views, but no other improvements or features will become available. You can find more information about this in the Microsoft documentation. For some clients, manually deploying the WebView2 runtime will help, for some clients (e.g. perpetually licensed Outlook 2016/2019), an Office update will be the only option going forward.

You will still be able to use the existing version, but no new features will be shipped and we will not be doing any testing on this platform going forward.

To find out if you are still on an old version, we’ll be shipping an indicator with version 4.8, which you’ll be able to see in the “About” section of the add-in - see below.
