My Outlook 2010 / Office 2010 has stopped working

4th February 2022

Microsoft said in Nov2021 that they were going to phase out Office 2010. It doesn’t support modern encryption protocols or OAuth. Looks like M$ is getting around to kicking ev1 off. We needed to upgrade a terminal server and still have a half dozen users complaining that their local software needs updating.

Options:

Office 2016 upgrade; the path most businesses will take, it’s an easy inplace upgrade.
-Microsoft is just forcing me to upgrade to get more money! You have used the software for 12 years, it’s paid for itself, suck it up.

Thunderbird; its free, secure, it works

MailBird; its free, it won a bunch of awards, you have nothing to lose.
