    Is this a good place (other than a support request) to post feedback on the beta?

    Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    I've installed the Outlook Add-In and what occurs doesn’t match the documentation. Specifically, after I login with any of our accounts, I'm at the main web screen (which for our installation is FileLinks). I don't ever see the Attach Files screen.

    Additionally, even if I never invoke the Add-in, it still tries to do activate during the send.

    Here's a link to a video which I took: https://fc.fitchlp.com/link/1lDPG7uQCaKYDr3YJLHpqY

    I can reproduce this on multiple systems and multiple accounts. This is using Outlook-Mac 16.88+ on macOS 12, 13, & 14 across a bunch of different hardware and processor types (Intel & Apple Silicon).

    This is with LiquidFiles 4.0.51 (aka 4.1 beta 1).

    Would love to hear other people's experiences.

    Thanks.

    Jon, the mentioned documentation is for Web Outlook not for Outlook-Macs although the design looks similarly.
    Currently the new LF add-ins we have designed and tested only for the web outlook (https://outlook.office365.com) only.

    But using a browser is platform transparent. You can install the manifest.xml file on the Outlook web: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/options/manageapps then connect to your Outlook mailbox via the web browser and the add-in will work also on MACs now.

    Cheers,

    David

    Further to this, can you please try to disable the DUO strong authentication on the LF server to check if this would work with primary logins only on the Outlook-Mac client?

    In the recent beta version 4.0.52 have been fixed couple SSO/SAML and 2FA authentication issues for the Outlook web client.
    If you have configured 2FA and/or SSO authentication for Outlook users please update the server and try to login again with your Outlook clients if something will change.

    @David I just got around to updating the add-in (4.0.53) and can report that it's working nicely within Outlook-Mac.

    One bit of weirdness: if the body of the message exists prior to the file(s) being added, then it's duplicated. I've posted a couple of screenshots:
    2024-11-26_141427.png 2024-11-26_141453.png
    As you can see, even before the message is sent, the body is duplicated.

    I don't know if that's something within the add-in or just the way Outlook-Mac is handling things.

    I haven't been able to test with Outlook-Web to see if that works the same as I'm not having luck with the add-in login (keeps looping me back around like it did in Outlook-Mac previously).

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Very good, thanks for info. In the web outlook we could not replicate this behavior.
    This can be some incompatibility related to the Outlook-Mac.

    Please note that the current new Outlook plug-in can't handle FileLinks.
    On the screenshot was created a common Secure message which supports multiple files.

    According to the access to the access to the web outlook please try to upload the server to the latest version (now 4.0.54)
    and try to login again.
