We had this problem for a number of users on our AVD/Remote-Workspace environments.
A refresh of the Outlook profile resolves the problem - but only temporarily - the issue returns randomly for users after a few days of use and re-confirmed none of the other notification/settings have been changed.

It didn't re-open the New Outlook, just the old one. Could the trouble be with the new app itself? - NultaMar 20, 2024Copper Contributor
