Does Outlook in Office 2016 support Exchange 2007
-
I ask this because the updated Outlook client on my Mac does NOT support 2007.
I have a client with an on site Exchange 2007 server and now a need to purchase Office. This is the first purchase since the 2016 release.

Definitely not officially.

Office 2013 FPP ordered.

I'm pretty sure O365 offers downgrade use.
-
@Dashrender I believe you can use the previous version for a year after the new version has come out with O365

No it most certainly does not. Delayed upgrade maybe as @brianlittlejohn says. I never checked that.

Same sight existing user just called me complaining that the outlook 2007 client keeps locking up and crashing.
Said user is #3 in this list.

This MS page seems to indicate that you can roll back to Office 2013.

It clearly states that a subscription gives you the option to install either version. Notably it states that a valid reason is Exchange 2007, because they know there are tons of them out there.

Are you pulling a word smith thing on me? If your goal wasn't to be allowed to use an older version, what was it?

No, the article is only talking about the technical fix, it does not deal with the legal aspect of licensing it. There are no downgrade rights even with the Enterprise plans (though MS will usually just give you a key under your EA if you have an issue).

Not intentionally. To me, downgrade rights are a permanent right to have a specific version installed forever. With Office 365, there are no permanent rights to anything. It is all based on the subscription, and what that subscription allows at the moment.

Just be thankful it isn't a PST file. (If it could even grow that large, which it can't.)
