Outlook Customer Manager – We encountered an error
Normally, Outlook Customer Manager is automatically installed for O365 Business Premium users. If you accidentally delete the add-in, it will be reinstalled within 24 hours. That said, there’s another workaround to get the problem fixed. First, check if Outlook Customer Manager is available to you. For this, Log into Office Subscriptions and check if you have been assigned the OCM license.
If not, Log into Microsoft Online Account, and go to General and choose ‘Manage add-ins’. Thereafter, scroll down to locate Outlook Customer Add-in and check whether the Outlook Customer Manager is turned on or not. If not, check the box shown against the option.
Also, check if you have installed the correct Outlook version build since it requires a minimum Outlook version of 1611 (Build 7521.2072). To check your outlook version, navigate to Outlook > File > Office Account. If the problem is temporary, it can be fixed by another method. To try it, go to ‘Settings’ section of IE, choose the ‘General’ tab. Then, under the ‘Browsing history’ section find ‘Caches and databases’ and delete cache files for the website “outlookapps.com“. Restart Outlook and see if it has helped.
