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.

    Maybe it didn't update for you automatically yet. Do this: Go to Microsoft store from start menu and in search type "Outlook", when you open the page, click "update" if it needs update.

    Hmm, I can't find the feature that combines Inboxes together. Did they remove it or where is it in settings?

    NO fix for me.

    Exchange T2, uninstalled outlook and removed account.

    Still doesn't work!

    I removed data file account from Mail(Outlook) via control panel. It was basically removing the .ost file. It then worked for me.

    Fixed for 1 person isn't fixed for everyone. This is not solved.

    This should not be marked as the answer.

    Still have paying M365 customers unable to use the new Outlook which is advertised as free.
