Microsoft released the Outlook for Windows app as their replacement for the Mail and People apps in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Upon using the new email app, users complained that they no longer access their emails offline, unlike with the classic version.
Fortunately, Microsoft is trying to integrate offline functionalities on the Outlook for Windows app but with a small glitch. You must open the app online and must remain running until you no longer have Internet connection. Otherwise, it will only show an error if you launch it without network connection.
