Please find a few compatible Issues listed below what we observed:

Hi @ClaritysoftLLC,
Thanks for reporting this. I'm going to move this issue to the office-js repo, where product bugs are examined.

As per your request we provided .HAR file and console log last week. Is there any update on this?
Apologies for the delayed response. We are not able to repro the issue at our end. We tried installing the same Add-in from store but it works without any issues. Is it possible to share the test account where the issue is reproable for you?
Our QA team tested multiple time and issue exists. Please find the bellow video links for more details.

Hey @ClaritysoftLLC ,
Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce or debug this issue. If you have a test account where this behaviour consistently reproduces, can you share the test account credentials with us? You can share the credentials by adding them in a private repository and granting us access.
@mobisw-msft Please find the credentials.
AddIn: Claritysoft for Outlook
Username: Test
Password: Password#
DB: satyacx
You can find the issue with New Outlook.
Our client's are unable to use the Add-In, so try to resolve ASAP.
Note: As our support team and client's continuously monitoring this ticket, so please mark the ticket 'Open'.
Hi @ClaritysoftLLC, thanks for sharing the add-ins credentials. Unfortunately, this is not what we meant. We need a user account that is used for log-in to Outlook that repros the issue. You can share the credentials by adding them in a private repository and granting us access.
Hi @shighosh-msft , You can use any 365 account for this AddIn.
However we have created a private repository : https://github.com/ClaritysoftLLC/Credential
Note: As our support team and client's continuously monitoring this ticket, so please mark the ticket 'Open'.
Hi @ClaritysoftLLC, thank you for sharing the account details. We tested the ClaritySoft add-in with the account you shared but the add-in seems to load for us. Have added a screenshot of the add-in loading successfully on the private repo for you to check. Having said that, can you please confirm the following:
- Are you seeing this behavior only in case of a multi-account setup in New Outlook?
- What if you close and restart the Outlook client, does that make the add-in work?
Hi @shighosh-msft, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we are still facing the same and our client is frustrated
Are you seeing this behavior only in case of a multi-account setup in New Outlook?
- I only tested with a multi-account setup and faced the Issue we reported. But our customer reported the same issue, using only one account for the new outlook.
What if you close and restart the Outlook client, does that make the add-in work?
- No It did not work. It is only working for the first time then we close and restart the Outlook client It is not working either.
Hi @shighosh-msft, any update?
Note: As our support team and client's continuously monitoring this ticket, so please mark the ticket 'Open'.
Hi @ClaritysoftLLC, as I mentioned earlier, the issue doesn't repro for us even with the test account that you have shared. The add-in loaded successfully in new Outlook and I've also shared a screenshot of the same in the private GH repo that you created. Having said that, we do understand that is issue quite long standing and we we'd want to get to a resolution soon.
Can you please share another repro video, starting from adding the test account to New Outlook to the point it stops working since you mentioned that is does work sometimes here: "No It did not work. It is only working for the first time then we close and restart the Outlook client It is not working either."
Hi @shighosh-msft, We believe your attached image looks like a web version of Outlook.
Please see the complete video for your understanding to replicate the Issue. (We are using the desktop version of Outlook)
Please follow the steps below to reproduce the Issue:
- Open the desktop version of Outlook
- Switch to New Outlook
- Add Our Add-In Named 'Claritysoft for Outlook'
- Select any mail and click the Add-In Icon (It Supposed to Work as expected)
- Relaunch the Outlook(new version)
- Select any mail and click the same Add-In icon (It is not responding)
Alongside please see the below quires:
- Are you investigating the desktop version of Outlook?
- Are you following the same step to relaunching the outlook and replicating the Issue?
Each time we can rectify the issue from a different system and multiple 365 accounts, as well as our clients, continue responding to the same Issue.
Please do the needful ASAP
@ClaritysoftLLC We've been able to reproduce the issue, but it occurs intermittently. Could you please confirm if you are also experiencing it intermittently?
