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!

Nope, that doesnt work for me. Messages still dont come through until i turn off my phone's main power saver option.
If you have this problem, check your spam folder first. That's where my messages were when I had these symptoms!
Everyone keeps talking about the Microsoft Authenticator App. IWhere have no idea what it is. is it? How do I find it? Is not in my list of apps.
It will be listed in Android apps as just 'Authenticator' that is a blue tile with a white lock on it. It is used for multi factor authentication login, similar to the Google authenticator app and others like it.

This worked. I didnt uninstall the Microsoft authenticator app, just disabled the battery optimization within the authenticator app itself then my outlook emails all flooded in.
