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.

Oh apparently you need to open Microsoft Edge... surprise surprise and download a spelling extension for it, why what has this to do with New Outlook?
Anyway it doesn't matter as it still doesn't work anyway!
Installed Windows 11 recently so no option to go back to the Old Outlook, yet again forcing things on users they don't want. New Outlook is garbage I don't want it and I don't want to use Edge either!
Who comes up with this ****?
Once again THANK YOU Mr Smith!!!

2024-05-21T12:48:58+00:00 the extension doesn't fix this issue it only adds a spell check to the browser. You have to follow the steps to turn on the "experience" that was outlined above but only for the version of outlook 1.2024.516.100.
