Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
POP3 is not supported by the new Outlook. What is Karoo exactly? Is it an email service?
New Outlook won't let me add my outlook email account.

New Outlook won't let me add my outlook email account. "This email account cannot be added to Outlook" Advanced setup does not work either?

2023-10-20T21:17:27+00:00 I was having the same problem. Logging into account.microsoft.com as my @outlook.com address, then switching the @outlook.com address to be the primary alias (Your Info from the top ribbon I think) fixed the problem for me. I was then able to add the @outlook.com address to new Outlook.

2023-10-23T22:02:55+00:00 The issue for me is the use of an alias. My @live.com address is only for MS services/logins. With outlook.com, Outlook Android, and the Win11 Mail App i've used my personal email as my MS account Primary Alias. This app on the other hand is essentially incompatible with Primary Aliases.
