Outlook Preview is a component of Outlook(i.e. the mail application with
Microsoft 365 and Office(consumer and business plans) or Office
stand-alone software.
Outlook Preview is also an option in the Windows 11 Mail app
- Outlook Preview is enabled the same in either - `Try the New Outlook`
For those using a browser to access Outlook.com, periodically when the
web UI is upgraded, that upgrade may include a `preview option` which
will remain available until until the upgrade is deployed for all
users(sometimes months, since rollout is staged across accounts on the
entire planet - the browser only web UI has about 0.5 billion users.
In Outlook, Send/Recieve ribbon group. Show progress, when an acct
fails(Send or receive) an error is reported, click on error item for the
details.
W/r to the op`s comment - ad free. Outlook Premium ad-free accounts(for
new users) was phased out starting in 2017, completed by 2018 and the
new web UI phased in 2018/2019. The only ad-free option is with
Microsoft 365/Office 365 subscription plans.
- also with that same deprecation, domain based email options were
phased out, with domain registration/hosting requiring migration to GoDaddy.
Thus if the op paid $20/yr, then it was
a. an older account, not current/new since 2019
b. Office plan provided by Godaddy or similar provide Microsft/Office
365 as part of their domain host/registration
c. Microsoft/Office 365 subscription based and the $20 was wasted and
unecessary since the subscription already provided ad-free
- i.e. Yes, if one had ad-free and then obtained a M365/O365
subscription it was necessary to cancel the stand-alone ad-free if the
same MSA was used for the subscription and ad-free - the billing were
two separate entities occurring, each on their annual renewal date.
Unrelated to the op`s issue - Outlook Preview(not necessarily the same
feature options) has been around for some time in Office/Microsoft 365
products(iirc circa 2017/2018).
