Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community! We are happy to assist.

We are sorry to hear that you are facing a challenging trying to turn autocorrect on in the New Outlook. let's work together to have that sorted out for you.

The autocorrect in the New Outlook, it has been renamed to "Editor".

Once you open a new message, you can click Options > Editor > Open Editor

Here is how to get to that based on your ribbon view (Simplified or Classic)

an extra panel will open to the right side, showing the editor details

Under correction, you will see the issues that the editor is suggesting a fix for, as shown below

I hope the above information will be helpful. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other concern or if I get you wrong. Glad to assist you. We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. Thanks for your precious time!

Hi - thanks for the reply. I'm afraid it didn't. In the old version of Outlook, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors (such as making 'i' automatically capitalised happen automatically. From what you're saying here, in the new Outlook it looks like I have to open the Editor to correct everything afterwards.

Hello Tom HEX_200

Thank you for your response, we are happy to provide further assistance.

In the New Outlook, Editor is where all language related checks and corrections are carried out. It needs to be active/open for it to do its job.

With that being said, we would love to hear your concern as a suggestion in Microsoft Feedback Portal for Outlook. I believe that your suggestion is constructive and it could make the use of Outlook even better. We will surely raise your concerns with our Product Development Team and hopefully, this can be included in future updates. Please note new Outlook is still in active development, right now 65 features are in development and 20 more have started to be rolled out. To check for upcoming features On Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365.

Our Product Development Team is committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions. Hopefully, your suggestion will help many users in the future.

Thank you for your time and understanding. For other questions, feel free to add your post to the Microsoft Community team.
