I have been struggling with Office 365 for about a month now. Ever since the Creator's Update, I am unable to log into any of my Office 365 accounts. (I can use the Web version). I tried reinstalling the Office software, applying latest updates and signing out. No joy.

Finally, I found an obscure article about an older version of office (I am on Office 365, which is always the latest version of Ofifce - 2016 at the time of this post) and tried to make these changes:

In the registry HCU>Software>Microsoft>Office>16.0>Common>Identity>

Add a DWORD (32 bit value)

Name: EnableADAL Value: 0 (yes definitely 0, not 1 as the article suggests.. through trial and error)

Restart all Office apps Viola, you can now switch accounts, and use services from any Office 365 account!!!

PS: According to Microsoft Support, this should help as well (have not tried it yet)

Navigate to : HKEY_Current_USER > SOFTWARE> Microsoft > Office >16.0 >Common >Identity > Identities

And delete the entries under identities

You can reset Internet Explorer settings to what they were when Internet Explorer was first installed on your PC. This can be useful for troubleshooting problems that may be caused by settings changed after installation. Note that resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

Close all Internet Explorer windows. Select the Tools button, and then select Internet options.

Select the Advanced tab, and then select Reset.

In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, select Reset.

If you have Exchange 2010 and have setup mail accounts with multiple emails; i.e. one primary email address and secondary emails attached to the primary, then any emails that you send to any of the secondary email addresses will be delivered to the primary email. If you inspect the message, then you will find that the "To" part of the message has actually resolved to the primary email address NOT the secondary email it was sent to.

However, there may be cases where it is important to discover the real "To" address that the message was sent to. Read on for a solution.

First, I will use my Office 365 portal to setup an alternate email address for testing.

Go to the Office 365 Online Portal and then click on Manage next to Exchange under Microsoft Office 365

Click on "Users and Groups" on the left hand side and then double-click on an existing user

Under Email, click Add and then add an alternate email address:

Next, we will get the Exchange Web Services API, install it and reference it from our project. You can now create a simple UI to ask for the user's email address and password and try to retrieve some messages from the inbox. Before you do this, send yourself a message and make sure that you type the alternate email in the "To" field.

You can use the EWS helper class to complete the rest your operation:

private void ProcessEmails() { string toAddress = string.Empty; Log("Initializing"); helper.Initialize(txtUserId.Text, txtPassword.Text); Log("Initialized"); if (!helper.exchangeInitialized) throw new ApplicationException("Exchange has not been initialized"); Log("Retrieving email(s)"); FindItemsResults findResults = helper.RetrieveInbox(10); Log("Printing email header(s)"); foreach (Item item in findResults.Items) { Log(string.Format("Subject: {0}", item.Subject)); switch (item.GetType().Name) { case "MeetingRequest": break; case "EmailMessage": var email = helper.RetrieveEmail(item.Id); Log(string.Format("The to address is: {0}", helper.GetToAddress(item))); break; } } }

There you go! Inspect the helper class if you are interested in the details.
