Outlook for Mac crashes

I got through to the MS Outlook team - this procedure fixed the problem

1-Make sure you are running under the latest versions of Mac IOS and MS Outlook. 2-Close Outlook. 3-In Finder, go to the Applications folder and go to Microsoft Outlook. 4-Right click, select show package contents. 5-Open Shard Support. 6-Launch Outlook Profile Manager. 7-It should show you your existing identity and main profile. 8-Select Create a New Profile. 9-Create (name) it as "Outlook New". 10-Right click on that and make it as the default. 11-Close the Application Folder. 12-Open Outlook. 12-This should open and start downloading all your emails housed on the email server

Overall this worked but there were the following 2nd order affects:

Outlook opens. However, in middle of setting up my email accounts Outlook did a couple interesting things

1. The system repeatedly tried to log me into a Microsoft account from a company I have not worked for since 2019. Each time I manually entered the correct account Outlook would fail again. So, I went into keychain and searched for and deleted the old domain
2. In parallel with error 1, when Outlook was rebooting, the system repeatedly gave me a warning that it could not open One Drive – So I have temporarily deleted One Drive from the computer.
3. Once I removed OneDrive – Outlook now appears to be stable.  
4. Finally, Outlook “forced” me to accept (not download) the “New Outlook” – which did not download a new version of Outlook, but definitely changed the Outlook GUI. So in addition to setting up a new profile I’m going to have to get familiar with the new GUI. The system is stable at moment
5. I plan to work without One Drive, until I get feedback from you on what else I should watch out for.

Chris, I looked at this yesterday before asking for help. I discovered the matter I’m attempting to fix is either not listed here or should have been fixed by keeping my iOS and MS 365 Apps current. Any other ideas?

Interesting Microsoft is directing me to contact Apple. I wonder is there an interface working group to address these pesky compatibility or integration issues.
