Hi,
Trying to update, but after entering all of my IMAP connection information, the progress option is greyed off.
According to another MS forum, IMAP is not yet enabled; is this correct?
Hey there, I’m excited to help you today!
Indeed, the new Outlook for Windows does not support IMAP accounts yet. This means that you cannot add your email account from Yahoo!, iCloud, or other providers that use IMAP protocols to the new Outlook app. The new Outlook for Windows currently supports Exchange-backed Microsoft 365 work or school accounts, Outlook.com accounts, and Gmail accounts.
However, there is some good news. The new Outlook for Windows team is working hard to add support for more account types in the future, including IMAP accounts. They have not announced a specific timeline for this feature.You can check their blog posts and release notes for the latest updates on the new Outlook for Windows development.
In the meantime, you can still use the classic Outlook for Windows app to access your IMAP account, or use a web browser to access your email provider’s website. You can also switch back and forth between the new and classic Outlook for Windows apps by using the toggle switch at the top-right corner of the window.
