This account is not supported in Outlook for Windows due to the license provided by your work or school

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.

    Also, they still work in the old Outlook?

    No idea what a tenants account is sorry, it is very strange that it changed from one day to the next! I think you should discuss that with someone from tech support.

    Yes they do all work in the old outlook, if you are fortunate enough not to have updated it. Apparently though, that older version of outlook will only be supported until (I think it was) October this year

    Basically, we have a holding co with two other companies underneath the main company. All licensed through the main account.

    Yep I can verify this worked on mt Mac too - simply switch to legacy outlook (toggle button in task bar), add your email accounts, then switch back to the new version of you desire - all my emails remained when I did this.
