This was a huge pain for me when setting up the new M1. Hope that works for whoever needs it or stumbles upon this thread.

I had two problems: This one, and I couldn't get the 'New Outlook' button (like in this post) even though my account had Office 365 and all that. Hey everyone, so I figured out a workaround since OP's solution didn't work for me.
