I'm not able to add my work 365 basic account in this new Outlook anymore. I get this error: "This account is not supported in Outlook for Windows due to the license provided by your work or school. Try to login with another account or go to Outlook on the web."
This is ridiculous that I'm able to add my personal Gmail, my personal Outlook email, but can't add my work account which my company pays money for. Now you want to charge us more by upgrading from basic to standard to able to use your new Outlook I see. I also noticed ads right in my Inbox in this new Outlook. Seriously? Ads too now? Well, it seems like you're very desperate lately dear Microsoft and using such enforcing brute tactics on us - users won't do good for you. It will have opposite effect in fact: Now I will tell my IT boss to switch to Google instead. And guess what? I won't be the only one doing this. You know what's your problem, Microsoft? You never listen and you never care about us. You just do what you want to do and it's all about squizzing money out of us while giving us worst products compared to other companies.
P.S. By the way, your new Outlook sucks and everything you give us lately sucks too.
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
yes, all fine and good as long as you have Outlook (Classic) already installed on the PC. Windows does not come with a licensed copy of Outlook (Classic) so for machines that are "out of the box", this will not work.
You could have been using an office license that was purchased with the pc when you signed into the m365 business basic account, and then when the ups rare happened you signed into your business basic license first, replacing the office license you originally had on your machine, making it so you can no longer use the outlook app any longer with your m365 basic license that only supports outlook for the web. This has happened to me with a few devices that came with office licenses for a year or some sort of package like that.
As I keep saying, it's like Microsoft are trying to drive away customers!
It's so obvious that the people developing their software, never have to use it for productive business, and are completely devoid of any form of business experience.
The old adage applies: "Common Sense is a rare commodity".
There are serious bugs in Outlook that have been their for over decade, and yet they pi55 about with the toolbar and "Apps Bar".
Don't get me started on the 5h!t show that is Outlook search!
They make search changes, and it gets even worse, begs belief!
(End Rant!)
Which of these Outlooks do you have:
I am recovering a PC, new hardware new windows. The old system was still window 10. Setting up office worked fine, until setup of outlook. Now it says I have no license for outlook. It will not open the pst just stops and says NOPE.
