0xCAA80000 outlook 2016 'You need internet for this'

he issue seems to lie with Microsoft's Azure AD Broker which handles your Office 365 account authentication in Windows 10. Office 2016 will try to use this authentication method by default and all things being well, it's much better than the legacy approach. Unfortunately it looks like the token for your account can become corrupted (unsure what caused it, maybe AV), and no amount of disconnecting and reconnecting your account will refresh the token.

I take no responsibility for software or data loss if you manage to somehow bork up your system.

Open Event Viewer (quick way to do this is Start -> type "eventvwr.msc") and navigate to Windows Logs -> Security.
- If you've just tried to use your account under an Office program you may notice both Audit Failure and Success being logged in quick succession.
- Scroll down on an Audit Success until you find 'Key Name' looking something like this "***_microsoftonline.com". If the entry you've selected doesn't contain this line, find a logged entry which does.
-Under 'Key File Operation Information' you should find 'File Path'. Mine was C:\Users\BobSled\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Microsoft\Crypto\TokenBindingKeys\Keys

- Start -> Type 'Run' -> Type "%localappdata%\Packages" and hit Enter - Scroll until you see a folder starting with "Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_". Open it. Then open AC\Microsoft\Crypto\TokenBindingKeys\Keys.
- In this folder is the offending file, matching the Event Log entry you found above, so we'll rename the file to something expressive of our frustration. Right click -> Rename. I suggest adding something like "stopwastingmytime_".
- Reboot.
