My google pixel 2 phone recently updated the outlook app. Now the app crashes on startup. I tried clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Ive removed my work account as well. Still will not work. I get as far as the adding account page then it crashes and ask to send a report.

The reset worked for me . Thank you.
This works 100%. You can multi-task every 2-3 secs between outlook and other opened app till you can hit the "Reset Account" but it definitely fixed the auto-close issue. Thanks for the hint!

you write "first please clean all the cache date from the App on your mobile ..." but how can this be done if the root cause for this thread is "Outlook for Android crash on start up"? Is there a way to clean the cache withoutlaunching the app?
