    Hi there,

    I'm Cherrelyn and I'm here to help.

    Please try these suggestion:

    • Clear cookies/cache or use a private/incognito window to rule out old session data.
    • Switch the mailbox view to “classic” or “new Outlook” (if available) and try again sometimes the toggle works only in one interface.
    • Temporarily disable add-ons/extensions in the browser that could interfere with saving settings.
    • If none of that works, it’s likely a server-side glitch on Microsoft’s end in that case waiting and retrying later usually clears it up.

    It’s not an account-level block since the IMAP toggle is visible, so the issue is more about Outlook web not committing the change properly.

    I hope this will help and if you have any question please feel free to ask.

    Warm regards,

    Cherrelyn
