    Reverting to legacy mode is not a solution. why loose all the new features.

    Microsoft should just fix this bug. Not sure how many replies they need to this thread for them to take action?

    This was also an issue for me where 'Full Name' was greyed out. This appears to be a bug on the 'New Outlook' for Mac. If you go to Help > Revert to Legacy Outlook and edit the account settings, the 'Full Name' field is no longer greyed out and you can edit it.

    This was just one of several issues that I was facing when using Outlook. To solve them, I simply started using Apple's Mail app for OSX and iOS. I am finding that Mail has none of the problems that I encountered with Outlook, and its performance is much faster.

    I switched back to the legacy version, so I don't know. However, just this morning, Outlook tells me that it will automatically switch to New Outlook next time I restart Outlook!!!!!!
