Outlook WebAddin is not getting loaded for external mail boxes. about office-js

[ajays-msft]

@Sagar-lab1 - New Outlook does supports addins only in Exchange Online accounts.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/one-outlook

It is already documented, but we will work on explicitly calling out "no support for non-microsoft accounts" in the documentation.

@samantharamon - FYI

@Sagar-lab1 Can you check if any other add-ins are getting loaded for those accounts? Is it possible for you to share Add-in manifest and network trace?

[Sagar-lab1]

Sure will check if we can publish other web-addins, Meanwhile can you confirm that we can not add external user account to Active Users.
When we add external account to Active Users, It is displayed with #EXT# e.g. If we add "[email protected]" under active user then display name is shown as "[email protected]" , However email is displayed as "[email protected]#EXT#@dlpwinqa.onmicrosoft.com".
Email is displayed as "[email protected]" only if we add this user under contact.

@ajays-msft Created OfficeDev/office-js-docs-pr#4471 to clarify this limitation in our documentation.

Since office documentation ticket is created against this (OfficeDev/office-js-docs-pr#4471) Any further action is expected from out side?

@Sagar-lab1: No, we have updated the docs already. Please let us know if you need any further clarification on this.
