I love Outlook 2016 as it is the best email client I have ever used. I have all emails that I have ever received (and thought were worthy of preserving) stored in my inbox and archives since 1997 or thereabouts.
But in the last update cycle (a few weeks ago), some MORON implemented a deletion sound without implementing a way to turn it off.
This has made Outlook a nightmare to use day to day.
The thread referenced above says that the only way to fix the problem is to globally turn off all sound in Microsoft Office.
Have they lost their ability to control their developers’ worst instincts? Did some intern have a brain fart and no one noticed? Or do they think this is acceptable in some way?
I have gone from loving Outlook to hating it in only a few weeks.
EDIT: The article above suggests going to “Advanced/General” in the Excel options, but I found the “provide feedback with sound” to be in the Accessibility section. Switching it off *did* work, though, so that is the fix. No sound in all of Office fixes this horrid mistake by someone at Microsoft.
