The recent update for Outlook O365 moved the search bar out of the inbox and into the top window bar. This change doesn't make an ounce of sense and makes this process of using a common feature clunky and unintuitive. The rationale that this was moved to "make room for additional messages" is absurd as the search bar was less than the height of a normal email message.

While I get that some may like this it clunky and just doesn't make sense. At least give us a setting where we can choose to move it or not. This is not an improvement.

Microsoft has confirmed a security flaw affecting Internet Explorer is currently being used by hackers and it is working on a fix, to be released at a later date.

The vulnerability was first reported by US Homeland Security on Friday evening, although the issue is not limited to American devices.

Overall, Microsoft said all supported versions of Windows are affected by the flaw, including Windows 7, which after this week will no longer receive security updates.

The vulnerability was found in how Internet Explorer handles memory. An attacker could use the flaw to remotely run malicious code on an affected computer, such as tricking a user into opening a malicious website from a search query or a link sent by email, TechCrunch reported recently.

“The company is only aware of limited targeted attacks for which it is already working on a fix,” the report quoted a Microsoft spokesperson.

The tech giant assigned the bug with a common vulnerability identifier, CVE-2020-0674, but specific details of the bug have yet to be released.

Qihoo 360, a China-based security research team helped Microsoft in finding this flaw and it is believed to be a similar vulnerability as one disclosed by Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser.

As per a report, neither Qihoo, Microsoft, nor Mozilla said how attackers were exploiting the bug, who the attackers were, or who was being targeted.

Emails that are read in Outlook on MacOS are not able to open attached .msg files.

This function works fine in Windows. I have been told by Microsoft this file format can't be compatible with macOS and there are these work arounds.

i. Simplest way - Without using any additional software you may attach .msg files to outlook web application as a draft and then view them.

ii. Use the MSG Viewer for Outlookapp to view the messages in .msg format.

iii. If the file you need to open was not directly created by Outlook, you may be able to simply change the file extension from .MSG to .EML which will enable you to open it/view it.

iv. Alternatively, you can try changing the file extension to TXT and open the email in TextEdit on your Mac

Now, this is not a fantastic user experience. A product that is multi-platform should be able to the same tasks on all platforms. To say .msg is a windows only file format is just not true that macOS can't read these files it is your code in the outlook app that isn't compatible if there was no way to read the file then MSG Viewer for Outlook app wouldn't work either.

Please re-write your app to include this basic feature.
