Exchange 2019+ OLK 2016/2019 + Attachments

Question

We have recently moved a client from Exchange 2010 to 2019 Since the migration emails with Attachments have the attachment display as "Outlook Item". The users have to Click on the icon and Choose View to see what sort of attachment it is before they open. It initially seemed it did not know what the associated app was to pen the attachment.

We have noticed that:

You receive an email with an attachment the icon displays this way in the Inbox  

If you forward the email, the attachment icon displays correctly  

I have tried to find something in OLK documentation that refers to attachment behavior but found nothing.

This question was originally posted on Office Answers but I was told to post here

Answer 1

Hi @Shane King ，

How many migrated users encounter the issue?

Do attachments display correctly in OWA?

• If attachments work well in OWA, please try recreating outlook profiles and check if the issue persists.
• If attachments still not work correctly in OWA, to narrow down the issue if it is related with corrupted mailbox, could you try to migrate one problematic user to another database to check if this issue still continues? Since the migrating process will repair the corrupted mailbox.
