No spelling suggestions in the right-click menu (New Outlook for Windows)

Split from this thread.

I have had the same issue, but I have the Office 365 Outlook app actually loaded on my computer.

It happened when I switched to the new view of Outlook. I am ready to switch back to the old view due to this feature not working. I use it all the time.

It shows the spelling error, but does not provide spelling suggestions in the right click pop up menu.

I checked the editor settings and these are all turned on. I also restarted the application.

    I don't have these options, "Connected Experiences nor Turn on experiences that analyze your content," after View > View Settings > General > Privacy & Data

    Under Privacy and Data there is only Search History and Microsoft's notice.

    Is there any other way to get the right-click spelling suggestions back?

    In the new Outlook, open Settings and click General > Privacy and data > Privacy settings where you will find a couple of options for connected experiences.

    As I explained, I don't have those options. I was wondering if there was another way to do it.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the clarification. I don't know why you are not seeing those options. Sorry.

    Be sure to send feedback on the (lack of) functionality in the new Outlook. Microsoft developers won't read this forum, but they do read the feedback at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/89a8afa3-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472.

    I was only able to get as far as Privacy and Data. There isn't an option for Privacy Settings. Privacy and Data shows Suggested people and Search History options. Tried searching Privacy Settings from the setting screen and the drop down only shows Pop-out settings and Group settings.
