Hello all,
I created a transport rule to approve/reject any email to a member of a group. This pops up in my Outlook App on Windows and browser. It does not give me the option to approve/reject on either Outlook mobile on ios or Outlook app on Mac. Please advise as I need this function to work properly across the board if possible.
Thanks!

Hello,
I've been waiting for this problem to be solved for years.
The only solution for now is to use OWA.
I open owa with Chrome and convert it to the desktop version.
Screen resolution is not very good. You can now use the accept buttons.
