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.

    This is super shady....because you have to forfeit your privacy to use Editor. But it worked. Editor now spell checks and is not greyed out in the New app.

    Why is the Editor not working in New Outlook?

    If the Editor is greyed, you can activate it going to settings/general/privacy and data/privacy/connected experiences and turn on experiences that analyze your content. Close and open again outlook and try with a new email. Editor should be on.

    This worked for me. It also corrected the copy and paste functions of the mouse, which did not work before.
