I have a user that has been using Microsoft Office 2013 since our institution upgraded last summer. She uses the "Unread Mail" search folder on a daily basis, and has always deleted unwanted messages directly from this folder. Starting yesterday, the user could not delete the messages directly from the search folder, instead getting an "Unknown Error" message or a "Cannot complete this because we can't contact the server right now" message. We can work around it by going to the inbox and deleting the message that way, however the user would prefer to have it work the way it has up until yesterday.
Did something change recently? I can reproduce the problem in my own Outlook 2013 client so I wonder if an update was pushed out yesterday that changed the functionality of the search folder. Has anyone else who uses search folders regularly experienced a similar issue? Any assistance on this is appreciated. Thanks!
