Answer 1

Hi @Mani ,

According to my research, this problem has been reported by other users as well. Some users mentioned that installing the update can solve this problem.

Check for Updates: Ensure your Outlook and Windows are up to date. Sometimes, updates contain fixes for known issues.

For more information, you can refer to: Events in New Outlook can not be edited, deleted, or created - events sent by others cannot be accepted.

In my case it's mailbox storage issue for recoverable items folder and we enabled archive with auto-expand feature and now all working good for me.

That's great to hear that enabling the archive with the auto-expand feature has resolved your mailbox storage issue!
