To do this, hit Windows + R, type outlook.exe /safe, and hit Enter. If it connects in Safe Mode, one of your add-ins is probably the culprit. Closing Outlook and reopening it helps clear up minor glitches. Try launching Outlook in Safe Mode to check if add-ins are causing trouble. Double-check that you’re on [FixTechGuide login issue guide](https://restless-rice-b2a2.ganpig.workers.dev/cfdownload/https://www.kenpoguy.com/phasickombatives/viewtopic.php?id=5772860) the right network, especially if you have several Wi-Fi options.
Check OST file

When offline, the status is displayed in the status [solve Office 365 mailbox sync delays](https://app.fluence.africa/forums/users/carleyhorrell27/) bar at the bottom as Working Offline or Disconnected. Just having a simple update routine and checking build numbers from time to time can save a lot of trouble. Staying current with updates is probably the easiest way to keep Outlook connected.
How To Fix Outlook Stuck in Offline Mode?
If you have to keep multiple accounts on one device, set up separate Outlook profiles for each one. Each profile should only connect to its own Office 365 tenant. This helps avoid cross-environment prompts that mess with your connection.
Verify Work Offline Button Status
If you skip patches, the client might stop connecting to Exchange Online or on-premises servers. By keeping unnecessary connections out and your profiles tidy, you keep Outlook connected to the right Office 365 environment. Don’t let secondary Exchange servers manage your device if you don’t have to. Accepting those prompts can shift control away from your main email domain and cause more offline issues. Sometimes Outlook connects to the wrong Exchange environment because of Autodiscover confusion, especially if your computer has several Office 365 or Exchange accounts. Setting up the Exchange account by hand avoids this.
Method 1: Reset 'Work Offline' to Reconnect
The Work Offline option is selected on Outlook's Send/Receive tab. First, check to see if the Connected status is displayed or not. If it is not displayed, double-check your internet connection and re-examine it. To resolve the Outlook stuck offline working issue, click "Work offline" to reset and reconnect the Exchange server.
We have explained all the essential methods to fix the Outlook stuck in offline mode error. If the issue is not resolved manually, we recommend using the suggested software to recover Outlook files and continue using Outlook without any interruptions. If these manual approaches do not work then it may happen due to damaged Outlook files.
Setup Exchange Server Account Manually
Additionally, it will sync every piece of server-based mail. As is known, we can switch from Offline to Online Mode and vice versa in Microsoft Outlook 2010 and later versions. Once Outlook is configured with an Exchange account, the Cached Exchange Mode is enabled automatically.
However, when Outlook cannot connect to the Exchange server, it automatically switches to Offline mode. All the modifications are stored locally in the OST data file before syncing with [FixTechGuide fix for stuck folders](http://mtthub.org/groups/clear-outlook-cached-credentials-in-windows-credential-manager-mccombs-tech-wiki-university-wiki-service/) the mailbox server. Users can also utilize the 'Work Offline' option when there is an unreliable internet connection. When the problem is with the internet connection, Outlook may display Working Offline or Disconnected status. The Outlook may remain stuck in the offline mode until the network is restored. Profile or configuration mistakes cause trouble too.
