Outlook App on Android keeps crashing when trying to open an email

My Outlook App won't open. I'm receiving notifications that I'm getting new mail and I can read the first couple of lines (in the notification ) but if I want to open the email to read the who thing by double clicking on it the email tries to open through the app and this crashes. To resolve this, I've already updated all the apps on my phone, rebooted the phone twice (once with a full reset). I have then tried to uninstall the outlook app and reinstall it but it says you need to deactivate the app first and you can't do this. I've also checked that the rest of the MS apps are working (word / excel etc) and they seem to be opening fine

Not sure how to resolve this issue as I didn't realise how much I read my emails on my phone until this glitch happened!

I hope you wonderful community can explain what's happening and how to resolve it

    Hi there! This is Raech. I'm an Outlook.com user like you and I'm happy to help.

    Try resetting your account first and see if it helps with the issue. In your Outlook settings page, select your email account under 'Email Accounts' and tap Reset Account.

    If that still fails to resolve the issue, delete the account from the app instead and then re-add it. To do this, go back to Settings, select your account and tap Delete Account. You can immediately re-add the account after.

    Let me know if any of these helps.

    This DOES NOT fix the issue. It does not help at all, what do you think we are doing reporting this? Any competent IT support person will have done this type of routine a few times before raising the issue

    Since a recent update Outlook on Android will not open at all. We have Wholly managed devices and rely on Outlook for email. We now have 10+ reports that users can no longer open Outlook.

    In new Android phone registrations the app just closes immediately and you cannot add an account.

    We have tried this with a clean phone on a normal set up and the same thing happens.

    Get your act in gear Microsoft, yet another quality disaster. Does anyone in Microsoft believe in testing updates before releasing them.
