The "mention" feature in Outlook 2016 where you can tag someone by typing @ + person's name has been rolled out over a year ago. I can use it on Outlook Android but still can't on Windows 10, despite me having what I think is the latest version: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 32 bit version 1706 build 8229.2073. It is syncing with Office 365.
Any idea why this feature isn't available to me on Desktop when it works in Android?
Outlook is full of settings that are difficult and non-intuitive to locate.
One thing that could cause a message to take longer to send (that is, to leave Outlook) is whether it is already synchronized with the server or no.
Check this setting:
File > Info > Account Settings (button) > Account Settings (menu item)
And find your mail account in the E-mail tab and choose Change (should take you into the Account Settings panel)
Check that Mail to keep offline is set to All:
Another thing to try is, in the same Account Settings panel, click on More Settings then go to the Advanced and make sure the Purge items when switching folders while online is checked. The reason I suggest this is that (unless I'm wrong) it may perform some cleanup on the local db.
Also, in that same Advanced panel, I have for Server Timeouts set to 1 minute. Maybe that could help?
Here is something I found which has a few more ideas (Bear in mind I have not tried any of these things):
Make sure Outlook is closed. Then locate and run scanpst.exe with your *.pst outlook data file as the parameter. (This is the Inbox Repair Tool)
If that doesn't work, use your Office CD to run a repair.
Finally, try opening Outlook in safe mode by typing this in the RUN box:
Outlook.exe /safe
Subscribe to Office 365 and you can sync your iPhone via the Exchange account. Or give up on Outlook and switch over to Google. Office 365 and Google work well for me. Have not had good luck syncing through iTunes.
