Outlook on android - receiving notifications, but emails don't show in inbox.

I use outlook for android (Motorola Moto G running Android 5.1) and it worked great until a couple of days ago. Now I get notifications of new emails, but the messages don't show up in my inbox. If I click a notification to try and read the email, it says 'Couldn't open message', and takes me back to my inbox, which shows only old messages.

Please help!

    I guess I will give Bluemail a try again.  I really like the Outlook watch face on my Wear OS watch..  I may just remove outlook from my homescreen and use Bluemail for managing email on my phone.  This seems really redundant and is very annoying.  There are no issues on my iPad so this problem seems specific to the Android app.

    The bluemail work around seems to be working for me, (so far) . I'm using outlook app for my home msn.com email address and I'm using bluemail for my office 365 work email address. Everything seems to be working for the past couple of days. Not the ideal solution but it if it works I'll take it.

    Yes exact same issue for me.  I have done a similar work around but it is garbage.  I even tried Bluemail which was good for one sync.  Notifications come to my watch and device but the email are not present in the app.  My hotmail account syncs fine but my office 365 account does not.
