Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps Feature Update for February 2024

Microsoft has released the February 2024 feature update of Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps in the Current Channel.

Just like last month, there is not a single new feature for any of the Office applications but quite a number of fixes.

There are 8 fixes for Outlook and 2 fixes that are also related to Outlook. One of these fixes is for Word and the other for general Office components.

  • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to exit unexpectedly when expanding a conversation in the search results from a search of “All Mailboxes.”
  • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to unexpectedly exit shortly after launching for some users.
  • We fixed an issue that caused 3rd party MAPI applications to be unable to retrieve licensing information.
  • Fixed an issue with mail view appearing blank for an extended time when switching folders.
  • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to exit unexpectedly when attaching an Outlook item (such as an email message) from the insert tab.
  • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to exit unexpectedly when adding an attachment in some scenarios.
  • We fixed an issue where a Meeting window would not close and the meeting would not get added to the organizer’s calendar if an image had previously been added into the body of the message and the organizer was attempting to reopen the meeting and add new attendees.
  • We fixed an issue that caused users to be unable to synchronize email with the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.
  • We fixed an issue where the font would switch from Aptos to Times New Roman when typing in a new email. (Word)
  • We fixed an issue that caused event based add-ins to be unable to display the Info Bar in Win32 Outlook. (Office)

Note: Depending on your installation type, this update can be installed via the Update Now button in Outlook or the Microsoft Store and updates Outlook to: Version 2402 (Build 17328.20142).
