Microsoft adjusts the maximum link length of Outlook email application: up to 8192 characters

CTOnews.com April 20 message, Microsoft Outlook email application, if the body part of more than 2084 characters of the long link, then the error "cannot send this item" will be displayed.

Microsoft recently upgraded its Outlook desktop application to version 16116.10000, raising the URL length limit from 2084 characters to 8192 characters to avoid such a problem again.

The official supporting documents for CTOnews.com translation are as follows:

When the 2084 character in the link is an escaped character, Outlook displays a 404 error that cannot send this item.

Users may encounter this problem when using long URL and secure links. After the secure link exceeds 2084 characters, the URL link is truncated.

After the user clicks the link, Microsoft Defender may display error messages "unable to load the page you are trying to visit" and "this page could not be loaded due to an internal error. We recommend that you close this page."

Outlook Desktop version 16116.10000 has fixed this issue, increasing the URL limit from 2084 characters to 8192 characters.
