Hi there
If they remove control panel how can I add email accounts manually - the automatic account set up doesn't work in Outlook 2016 if you have say an exchange server or non standard type servers with different passwords etc . The manual setup doesn't do anything unless you enter an email address - and that's no good for non standard type emails - the system can't find it -- Manual should mean Manual I/e you can enter the configuration yourself as used to be the case.
The traditional menus from the control panel applet works fine though screenshots below

They would have to provide an alternative method.
I actually think what will happen is many of the advanced option screen will stay as they are, but accessible by a link from Settings rather than via CP. These menus will not be modernised.
CP is just a menu system when it comes down to it - it is the underlying self contained menys that are critical.
Hi there

I don't know what version of Office 2016 you are running -- earlier versions use to work just fine without control panel applet
Now after latest updates is where problem starts. You can't create new accounts without seeing the automated screen unless you go via control panel applet. This has only recently started so unless you've updated office recently or haven't tried to create anu accounts then you wont notice the problem.

Well if you look at my screenshot in #38, there is a New button, taking you here
I'm on
I don't bother with Office updates as I do all the Security updates via various CUs and can't be bothered with so-called new features of Office. It does what I want in Word, Excel and Outlook. Could that be the answer?
