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.

I have the same problem. Editor is greyed in the new outlook. Will not spell check anything. It is available in outlook web. It is also available when I revert back to the old outlook version.

No, it is not working, still greyed out.
Hoping for an update from Microsoft, soon.
