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.
I tried the proposed solution of repairing the EdgeWeb2View component and it still does not provide the URL when I hover over the link. As Ted Bush stated, even if it had, it's not a viable solution to widely deploy. Please advise.
Any update - this is a serious security problem in outlook.
Seems this may have been quietly resolved in build 1.2024.717.400 (Production).
URL's are being displayed again when you hover the mouse over links.
Redacted example:
I'm on build 1.2024.725.400 (Production) and it's not displaying any URL's.
Oddly, I do have hover-to-reveal (at least on this reply from Jeremy) but my version is short of what he says fixed it for him
SO.. can we call this fixed. 'Til they break it, again?
