PRODUCT UPDATES
NOTICE: Microsoft's New Outlook Client and the Outlook VBO
Please be advised that Microsoft's newest Outlook client DOES NOT support COM interop. What that means is the Outlook VBO will not work with this newer Outlook client. See the following reference from Microsoft regarding supported features with the new Outlook client software.
The solution, at the moment, is to not use Microsoft's latest Outlook client on runtime resources. Alternatively, you could consider using the newer Microsoft 365 - Outlook VBO which leverages Microsoft's Graph API (RESTful web service) instead of COM interop and the Outlook client software.
