Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Posted by Christos Kritikos
For Copilot to work on (Classic) Outlook you must have:
- Copilot license for Outlook (Office 365)
- A Microsoft email account (Hotmail, outlook.com, or Exchange).
The fine print: If using Outlook with Exchange, you also need a Copilot license for the Exchange mailbox. If the Exchange email address is not the same as your O365 email address, this means TWO copilot licenses (one for each account).
So, you must have a Copilot license assigned to your account. If you do, then click on Outlook / File / Office Account / Update Options / Update Now
I had to update my O365 Outlook after the license was applied - then, Copilot automatically showed in the menu bar.
