| Outlook for Windows display name changeCategory:Exchange Online Microsoft 365 appsNummer:MC803006Status:stayInformed | Starting in July 2024, Microsoft will change the app name of the current Outlook for Windows for all customers as it appears in the Start menu now from “Outlook” to “Outlook (classic)”. This is not a change in status or support for the classic Outlook app. Please continue to refer to our blog post timeline for product support and availability. New Outlook for Windows: A Guide to Product Availability. This change is intended to differentiate it from the new Outlook for Windows. Users will see this update in classic Outlook version 2407 and higher.
This naming convention now also aligns with how it is referred to in support documentation. For instance, at the top of articles like this one on using favorites, there are tabs for different instructions in new Outlook and classic Outlook so users can find the instructions appropriate for the version they are on. [When this will happen:] Users will see the new app name in the Start menu after they install version 2407 or later.
[How this will affect your organization:] This change will only affect the app name as it appears in the Start menu installed apps list and Start pinned apps. The app icon and the executable file name will remain the same. [What you need to do to prepare:] There is no action required for administrators to prepare for this change. This change also cannot be configured differently per organization. |
