Anonymous

The advanced configuration will allow me to specify an SMTP user name but there is no way to configure the IMAP user name being different from the email-address.

Still can not get this to work in Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2024.207.500 (Production). Client Version is 20240209002.12 .

I can get 'New Outlook' to fetch mail from my imap account if i create an account with the address <username>@<mail provider> instead of <mail address>@<mail provider> but then my 'reply to' is set to <username>@<mail provider> replying to this will not go to my email account.

Can not find a way to change the 'reply to' address so no New Outlook for me!

Even the feedback HUB application is faulty.

Still, no way to give the username of the imap account. So, the new outlook mail client is completely useless to me. Who conducted the user stories and acceptance tests for this?

New Outlook is garbage. This is only one of the issues which shows it should never have been released anywhere near the general public at this stage.
