When Outlook restarts, you can sign in using your newly created profile.Lastly, go back into the Account Settings, and this time from the dropdown menu, select Change Profile.
Usually, we would use our regular email address and password for the setup. There will be some setup steps that will prompt you to enter your password or set up a new email configuration. Over here, enter the name of your new profile then hit OK.Next, under Profiles, click on Show Profiles.You will be prompted with a message saying “ Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device,” select Yes to proceed. Now click on Account Settings and from the dropdown menu, select Manage Profiles.Open up your Outlook and make sure that you click on File.Here’s how you create a new Outlook profile. In which case, creating a new Outlook profile helps get things right again, at least to see if the problem is really with the profile itself.
