A very dangerous behavior in the new outlook is that hoving the mouse pointer over a hyperlink in an email no longer displays the actual URL of the link.
Seeing the true URL is the #1 way people can avoid getting email scammed. Removing this tool is inviting people to get defrauded. This should not be a default behavior and I cannot see how to resolve this.
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This has to considered a serious security screw up on the part of Microsoft. How can they just leave such a flaw in production? Every security guideline teaches ou to hover over links to see what lurks beneath. Now, you have to copy the link and put it in a text editor. 100% bizarre.
HI Diane, is there any update on this? Is this a bug or product as designed? Thanks
Confirmed it still is not working here. What version of Outlook and the WebView2 do you have?
This appears to have been resolved for me for about a week now
Any updates on this? Microsoft should be treating this as an urgent security patch. This is absolutely ridiculous that a glaring security issue like this exists in the Outlook software that is used by millions of companies around the world. Absolutely no excuse for this kind of negligence on the part of Micro$oft.
