    • When you mark a task as completed in Outlook 2013, you receive the following error message:

      We need to know who to send this to. Make sure you enter at least one name.

      This issue occurs after you install December 8, 2015, update for Outlook 2013 (KB3114349).

    • If Outlook 2013 crashes after you send an email message while the email message is still in the Outbox folder, the email message is lost and can't be found.

    • After failing an initial logon, a subsequent retry may cause the following message to be incorrectly displayed:

      The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook.

    • Assume that you add a second Exchange account to an existing profile in Outlook 2013 while it's running, and select a different sync slider setting. After you restart Outlook 2013, the sync slider setting of the new account is reset to the default.

    • Folders may disappear from the favorites list in Outlook 2013. This issue occurs if you implement the DisableCrossAccountCopy policy.

    • Assume that you have a Project .mpp file that's stored in a SharePoint document library.

      We need to know who to send this to. Make sure you enter at least one name.

    • When you use a .prf file to set an IMAP profile in Outlook 2016, authentication dialog box isn't displayed. Therefore, emails can't be synchronized and you can't send email messages.

    • When you paste a mailto link that has an embedded hyperlink in an email message in Outlook 2016, the hyperlink isn't clickable.

    • When you create an email message by using an Outlook template (.oft) in online mode in Outlook 2016, German of French extended characters aren't displayed correctly and garbled characters are displayed.
