    Guys, using on premise Outlook 2016 and Exchange Server 2016. Not using O365 yet but in POC. Is the mentions functionality available in Exchange/Outlook 2016? From this article it appears it is but not working for me in my Outlook client.

    Hi,

    Welcome to our forum.

    Are you using an MSI or C2R verison of Office? Please click File > Office Account to check this.(You can also provide me the screenshot)

    If you are using Click-to-Run version, please make sure you have update your Office to the latest version and test again.

    If you are using MSI version, I'm afraid this is by design, @mentions feature is not available in MSI Office 2016. Please look forward to future updates

    Thanks for your understanding and hope this can be helpful.

    Regards,

    Aidan Wang

    Hi,

    Exchange server forum mainly discusses and provide suggestions about Exchange server issues. Since your issue is more related to Outlook side, we will help you move this case to Outlook forum. You will get more professional information there.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    That's a shame :( So click to run is like the 'Current' branch and MSI like LTSR?
