New Microsoft Outlook bug deletes emails

Microsoft has warned that a new bug in the Outlook app for Windows can automatically delete users’ emails.

In a blog post on the issue, the company explained that the bug causes the email client to crash and delete three or more emails.

The issue affects Outlook Version 2006 Build 13.0001.20266 and higher, but only for users who have configured the client with a POP account and enabled the “Download Headers Only” option.

Thunderbird is better. I have not used Outlook since they broke the rendering engine with Outlook 2007
All our templates (made with Outlook 2003) did not display in Outlook 2007! Never looked back.

I really want to use Thunderbird instead of Outlook, but Outlook is miles better.
Now if only e-mail could come out of the dark ages and use HTML5+CSS, that would be great.

(TB 78 was/is a great update btw, finally didn't have to use add-ons for minimize and got dark mode support. Still sticking with outlook though as company MS account).
