I cannot spellcheck in the new outlook 20231215008.08 . The editor is greyed out in the edit options. I have edge as my default browser and the MS editor ext in edge. Keep in mind I am talking about the New Outlook APP, but I am unsure if it feeds off od edge settings for the app.

    In new Outlook.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Privacy and Data > Privacy Settings.

    Enable Turn on experiences that analyze your content.

    This fixed it for me. No idea how that setting got changed or if its new or something.

    OMG thank you - finally someone with the right answer. All of a sudden this just stopped working and all of the help from Microsoft was completely useless. Thank you!

    new outlook won't spell check

    new outlook stopped spell check

    new outlook underline only won't fix spelling errors

    See this reply from Roger Bear Smith on 21 Jul that fixes the problem in the New Windows Outlook App. It seems like Win 10 or prior because my Win 11 worked.

    In new Outlook.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Privacy and Data > Privacy Settings.

    Enable Turn on experiences that analyze your content.

    Please report this to the App developers so they can troubleshoot why this somehow enables the editor to work in the App.

    Maybe they can rollout a fix.

    Again here is Rogers fix:

    Navigate to Settings > General > Privacy and Data > Privacy Settings.

    Enable 'Turn on experiences that analyze your content'
