    Please don't shoot the messenger...

    Microsoft is planning to add offline support in the future, as stated in the article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-the-new-outlook-for-windows-656bb8d9-5a60-49b2-a98b-ba7822bc7627.

    You keep saying "offline support" but that's not what I'm talking about. We need it while we're ONLINE. Many times people will send me an urgent email, and I can't sit around and wait until Outlook manages to retrieve the message. I need a way to force outlook to check NOW. Even windows mail had a "sync now" option. I see emails on my phone before I see it in Outlook, which many times is how I know that I have new email. If I can't trust Outlook to deliver an email as soon as it's on the email server, then I can't use outlook. Again, this has nothing to do with being online or offline. Unless my ISP goes down I'm online 24/7.

    The type of account will decide how often new e-mail is retrieved from the server, as I am sure you already know. Exchange accounts are synchronized once per minute, according to https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/sync-basics-what-you-can-and-cannot-sync-5537d587-4930-4ac2-b044-3568509b1294. The New Outlook has no additional options for this at the moment. The feedback portal is at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/89a8afa3-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472.

    I've already left feedback for this and the many other issues we're faced with as we're slowly forced to use Outlook. The concerning thing is that the icon no longer says "pre." It now says "new," which tells me it's now a production build. Until, I can force a sync, I will just use Gmail for all of my email. They don't have a problem syncing with Yahoo. Chrome or Edge , Google Maps or Bing, and now Gmail or Outlook? I see a disturbing pattern here, and MS should as well.

    Mine came up today with New instead of Pre.... but it is still a beta / preview build (even though it says "production" in the version).

    Right now the difference between Outlook on the web and new Outlook is the app framework - it is still Outlook on the web and works just like Outlook on the web - mail is not stored offline, so you don't need a send / receive button. Disconnect from the internet and you won't have mail.
