Cannot enter recipient email addresses in Outlook on Mac. Any help?

Since today, when I try to compose an email it will let me type in both the subject and body fields (as normal) but not in the 'To' field to enter the recipient's email address.

I click on the 'To' bit and nothing happens. I hover the cursor over it and try to type - nothing happens. I'm blocked out from entering any email addresses.

It means I cannot send any new emails from my account via my desktop. Seems to be just fine from my phone.

It's bizarre and frustrating and I can't find anything about it online.

Desktop is an older iMac using Safari. Never had a problem before.

    Agreed. I found this work-around shortly after the trouble began and I had searched for answers in multiple ways with no success. It appears that those of us with older Mac's that are no longer supported, are out of luck. It is another step but at least there is a solution rather than having to purchase a new laptop. It's Apple's fault - their products last too long!
