New Outlook won't let me add my outlook email account.

it is telling me that my organisation doesn't allow adding personal accounts in outlook. There is no organisation, this is a personal account

I am having the same problem adding my Outlook. It added fine to the old Windows email but whenever I tried to add it to the new it just failed. This didn't bother me so much as I didn't like the new version anyway so I continued to use the old version where it was available. But now I've been forced on to the new version which has both functionality, and doesn't now have all my email addresses.

I'm not sure how to make the Outlook my primary email as suggested here previously. I don't have a ribbon that others have mentioned. I use my email online.

Yeah, I did follow your lead and clicked switch to Outlook, The Windows Mail client started. so I just continued with the process and add my Outlook.com account. Thanks for the direction...

Good, I'm glad to hear that it works for Windows Mail Client too. I wasn't sure that it would work for any other situation than switching between Office Outlook and New Outlook.

This worked. Switching out from the New Outlook on Windows 11, switches to the Windows Mail client. A message indicate the Mail client will be replaced with Outlook. In the Windows Mail client, i added my Outlook email address, then switched back to the New Outlook Experience. Low and behold, my Outlook account was added.
