I needed to have a double take on the category I am in. I am in Office - Outlook -
iPhone and iPad
I mentioned that it was installed on iOS... And the screen capture I posted in the last message was from an
iPhone!!
And you suggested to install Office 2016??????????
I don't find that support person's response useful either ... Here is my problem since I get the same problem on my ipad2 ... And whoever responded with this "install Office 2016" needs to explain more how it this related to running the Outlook app on an
iOS device ... I only started to see this problem with the Outlook app on May 2, 2017 ... Until May 1, 2017, I had no problem with the Outlook app synchronizing my mail.
In my case i am using an ipad2 with iOS 8.4.1. latest version. I synchronize the iPad2 with a Vista laptop with the most recent update for a Vista operating system. Mainly because after iOS 8.4.1., the iTunes stopped synchronizing the notes with outlook
2003 on my Vista machine. The reason I have not upgraded from Vista to another operating system is that the laptop is working fine and its capacity is not high enough to warrant upgrading and going through the usual follow-on time wasting of bringing my computer
usage back to normal ... And there is always unfinished business with these upgrades that cause unwanted inefficiencies in productivity. And since the most recent compatible version of iTunes for PC Vista does not synchronize with iOS 9 or higher, it is most
efficient to keep the ipad2 on iOS 8.4.1 with the Vista laptop as is.
Since iOS 8 apps are most similar to iOS 9 and higher related to my use, this update which Microsoft has done causing the problem with Outlook app popping up the message to update, is poorly thought out. They didn't think of their users. I find this SUPER
NASTY because they are going back to their old bad habits of poorly doing something that affects negatively their long term users.
it would be nice if they fix this issue NOW by allowing the latest compatible outlook app version with ipad2 iOS 8.4.1. To work without hassle.
