When I click the button it opens a generic msn webpage. My company uses DSSO so everything is already signed in. Can't seem to find anyone else who has had this error. I have tried repairing office, recreating mail profile etc.

    Btw.: This fix only seems to work with Windows 10, Version 21H1 (exact version: 10.0.19043 Build 19043). It does not seem to work with Windows 10, version 20H2.

    I had the same issue with the yellow banner on Outlook 2016 + Windows 10.

    I was connected to the internet through WiFi and ethernet at the same time. I resolved the issue by disconnecting from my WiFi connection.

    I'm having this annoyance as well. When connected to wireless it complains about not having a connection to my local domain email. We do not have email on the local domain, we use a different domain for email on O365.
