When I've finished typing in a New Email, the Send button is barred and I can't send it.

On Microsoft Outlook on my smartphone, when I click on a hyperlink in an email, the whole thing crashes.

    Welcome Adrian Catchpole,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Q&A.

    To better understand the problem, could you please confirm the following?

    • Does the “Send” button remain unavailable for every new email, or only for certain messages?
    • When this happens, have you already entered at least one recipient in the “To” field?
    • What version of the Outlook app is installed on your Android phone?
    • Does the app crash when opening every hyperlink, or only links from specific emails?

    In the meantime, please try these quick checks:

    Step 1: Open Outlook and create a new email. Make sure a valid recipient address is entered in the “To” field and check whether “Send” becomes available.

    Step 2: Update Outlook from Google Play Store to the latest version

    • Open Google Play Store
    • Search for Microsoft Outlook
    • Install any available update

    Step 3: Clear the Outlook app cache

    • Open Android Settings > Apps > Outlook > Storage
    • Select Clear cache
    • Restart Outlook and test again

    Step 4: If hyperlinks continue to crash Outlook, try opening the same email in Outlook on the web at Outlook.com and check whether the links open normally there.
