This article addresses concerns raised by a reader about the end of support for Microsoft Office 2019, including Outlook 2019. It explains the implications of this decision for users, particularly regarding email functionality and security. The article clarifies that while users can continue using Outlook 2019 after the support cut-off date, there may be future compatibility issues with email servers and security updates.
This week a reader writes, “I recently found the attached article online and was rather alarmed as I use Outlook 2019 to download and manage email. Can you explain what is happening? My email address is an old Verizon.net address. Will my email and Outlook continue to work indefinitely? Will I be able to get a new version of Office with Outlook with a new computer? I would hate to lose it.” Microsoft announced the end of support for Office 2019 , which includes Outlook 2019 .
You might find an old Windows 95 computer in your attic, and it may still boot up, but I’m not sure how much of the software on it would still work. Outlook 2019 will not work indefinitely. You might keep your current computer running it, but eventually it will not be compatible with the mail servers.Your mail provider may require your version of Outlook to have a certain level of security certificate, and out of date products don’t get those updates from Microsoft.You can continue to use Outlook 2019 past the end of support date, which is currently set for Oct. 14.
After that day you won’t notice much difference — maybe for a long time. There may be popups that will nag you to update. As long as your computer’s operating system is compatible, the software will launch. If your computer ever dies, and you replace it with whatever the current operating system is at the time, don’t count on being able to obtain or use older versions of your apps.Jim Rossman is a Software System Specialist for the University of Texas at Dallas.
