Microsoft is working on fixing an issue affecting some Outlook for Microsoft 365 customers and preventing them from accessing emails and their calendars.
"After updating to Outlook Version 2303 Users may be unable to view or access Microsoft 365 group calendars and email messages in Outlook Desktop," the company said in a support document published on Thursday.
The buggy Outlook version was released to the Current Channel more than two weeks ago, on March 28.
Microsoft says the Outlook Team is working on a solution to address this known issue and shared a temporary workaround until a fix rolls out for those experiencing problems while trying to access emails.
Affected customers are advised to use Outlook Web Access if they want to use the Groups feature or revert to Outlook Desktop build 16130.
The fix should be out sooner, but May 9 is Patch Tuesday, and the fix will be in this update.
