Answer 1

The error OwaUserHasNoMailboxAndNoLicenseAssignedException means the work account can sign in, but Exchange Online does not see a mailbox or the required license assigned. This must be fixed by the organization’s Microsoft 365/Exchange administrator; it cannot be fixed from the user side.

Actions the tenant administrator needs to take:

Verify a mailbox exists
- In the Microsoft 365 admin/Exchange admin tools, check whether the user has an Exchange Online mailbox.
- If the mailbox is missing or disabled, create or re‑enable the mailbox for the user.
Verify license assignment
- Confirm the user has an appropriate Microsoft 365 license that includes Exchange Online assigned and active.
- If no such license is assigned, assign one and wait for provisioning to complete.
Re-test sign-in
- After the mailbox is created/re-enabled and the license is correctly assigned, sign out of all Microsoft sessions, close the browser, then sign back in to Outlook on the web and try again.

If the organization’s IT department cannot resolve this, they need to open a support case with Microsoft 365 support from the Microsoft 365 admin portal so Microsoft can check the tenant configuration and mailbox state.

Hi @Steven Alterio ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on the information you provided, your account currently does not have a mailbox.

To resolve this issue, please contact your administrator and ask them to perform the following steps:

Step 1: Go to admin.microsoft.com

Step 2: Click Users > Active users > select your account name

Step 3: Click Licenses and apps, then remove the current license. After about 5 minutes, assign the license again.

After that, please wait an additional 5 minutes and check whether the mailbox has been activated.

Step 4: Click on Apps under Licenses and apps > locate Exchange Online

If it is not selected, please check the box to enable it
If it is already selected, uncheck it, wait about 5 minutes, then check it again and verify whether you can use Outlook
