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.

    That was a BRILLIANT answer - thank you very much. I had changed back to old outlook as the missing spelling suggestions were SO annoying. I would never in a million years have found that setting without your instructions and would never have thought i needed to turn it on if I had found it. YOU ARE A STAR!! THANK YOU!!!

    That does not work.

    If you open the e-mail you are composing in a separate window, spellcheck suggestions will work (see previous replies in this thread).

    See also Carlos986's suggestion to enable connected experiences. It is a very useful workaround.

    I recommend that you report the bug to Microsoft using Help > Feedback in the new Outlook.

    After I opened an email in a separate window it worked and now it works all of the time.

    Thanks.

    I'm glad you are seeing progress.

    I want to emphasize that I can't take credit for the connected experiences solution/workaround, though.
