Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Hi,
Nope, it's not changed for me. Still the same.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
For several months now, when I click on links in emails from LinkedIn or Indeed, Outlook (new) opens two (2) tabs for the same link. Every time.
It does not do this if I switch back to the (Old) Outlook.
It does not do this if I open the same email/links in my Outlook 365 desktop application.
Since Microsofte embedded "safelinks" scanning, the Outlook (New) app has been a royal pain with links in emails, hiding links from view, and with this additional irritation, it seems that the development team have lost the plot.
My "Default" browser has no bearing on the result., it does it in Chrome or Firefox when set to default.
Switch to the old version of Outlook App, the issue goes away.
Forward an email to my priamary Outlook365 mailboxes... the issue is non existent...
By testing 3 versions of Outook with 3 web browsers, I only get the issue with the New Outlook App,... therefore I can only conclude that Microsoft have fudged this (New Outlook) version up even more.
*Note that for me it is only email links from LinkedIn and Indeed job alert emails and notifications, I have yet to find another platforms emails that are affected.
Are you getting any issues with these?
Lmk here if you find any other major platform emails too,
Ta!

Hi,
Nope, it's not changed for me. Still the same.
Today I checked again, but the issues seems to be disapeard.
Can you check if this is the same for you?
Hopefully Microsoft solved it finally.
Kind regards,
Ray
Same issue for me with Mac OS Safari browser. Sounds like a universal problem with Outlook web. Thanks.
This started for me on Friday, October 4th, and my boss said he just experienced it for the first time today.
I am using New Outlook and Edge.
