Since the redesign of Outlook, Microsoft Office 2021 has sent forced updates for all macOS (10.14 and later versions) users.
Due to metadata limitations on Microsoft’s end, Outlook activities cannot be tracked as they used to be by Memtime. In most cases, Memtime will track these activities only as Outlook’s folders instead of specific e-mails. This is because the new Outlook application does not have AppleScript support.
Microsoft is currently working on a solution to enable AppleScript support in the new Outlook application, with an estimated availability by December 2024. Once ready, we will be able to track all the details of Outlook activities again.
As an alternative, users who are affected have the possibility to switch back to Legacy Outlook, to see the details of their Outlook Captured Activities.
How to revert to Legacy Outlook
1. Switch off the New Outlook by sliding the toggle button.
Certain versions of the New Outlook for Mac include a toggle button located next to the email Search field. By utilizing this toggle button, users can switch back to the classic Outlook interface.
2. If you can't find the New Outlook, you can also use "Help Menu" to get it, and select "Revert to Legacy Outlook".
Then, A pop-up window will be displayed, prompting you to click on "Revert". This action will automatically close the app and relaunch it with the changes applied.
