Hovering over a hyperlink in the "new" outlook doesn't display the actual URL. How can this be remedied.

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.

    Thank you @Jac_B1 for sharing that. It's disappointing that Microsoft only recognized the issue on 9/16 when it was first reported here on 6/21.

    Even more frustrating is they've been 'investigating' for almost a month now.

    Funny they say to roll back to Old Outlook, but they keep pushing/rolling out New Outlook migration more and more aggressively each month. I got a notification the other week that admin controlled New Outlook roll out is now available. Hilarious priorities...
