Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
The error message in the screenshot (OwaUserHasNoMailboxAndNoLicenseAssignedException, HTTP 500 with esrc: StartupData) indicates that the user account can sign in, but the corresponding Exchange Online mailbox is disabled or not provisioned/licensed. In this state Outlook on the web cannot open the mailbox, so email (including verification codes from services like Spotify) cannot be read.
Resolution requires action by the Microsoft 365/tenant administrator:
- The tenant administrator must check the mailbox status for this user in Exchange Online.
- If the mailbox is disabled and
AccountDisabled : True, the admin needs to re‑enable the mailbox and ensure an appropriate Exchange Online license is assigned. - After the mailbox is re‑enabled and licensing is corrected, sign out of all Microsoft sessions, clear the browser cache, and then sign in again to Outlook on the web.
- If the problem persists after the admin has confirmed the mailbox is enabled and licensed, the admin should continue troubleshooting or open a support request with Microsoft.
Until the mailbox is re‑enabled at the service level, web access to mail (and therefore to verification codes sent to this address) will not work.
