No longer able to track emails with Dynamics 365 App for Outlook

Hi,
 
For the past 3-4 weeks, we have had issues with tracking emails from Outlook towards Dynamics 365 CRM.
It has stopped working all of a sudden, with no major changes being preformed to the system.

When we set an email for tracking, it goes into a pending state, before it eventually times out and fails with this error message (Company name censored).:

"stack": "Error: Unable to retrieve Exchange Mailbox Item Context from ExchangeProvider\n    at new t (https://CENSORED.crm4.dynamics.com/crmmailapp/scripts/shim.js?v=1.2.914:1:3581)\n    at e.reportError (https://CENSORED.crm4.dynamics.com/crmmailapp/scripts/shim.js?v=1.2.914:1:187878)\n    at https://CENSORED.crm4.dynamics.com/crmmailapp/scripts/shim.js?v=1.2.914:1:613201\n    at async Promise.all (index 1)\n    at async Promise.all (index 0)",
      "message": "Unable to retrieve Exchange Mailbox Item Context from ExchangeProvider",
      "code": 2147873296,
      "componentName": "AppChecker",
      "innerError": {
        "message": "Atachments found. EWS disabled, fall back to SSS sync cycle",
        "code": 2147873296,
        "componentName": "MailboxItemProvider.getAppointmentAttachmentIds"

I have checked EWS status for both a user that received the error message above, and on for the org. Results below.:

Running:
Get-CASMailbox -Identity User@DomainName.com | Select EwsEnabled

Returns:
EwsEnabled
----------
      True

Running:
Get-OrganizationConfig | FL Ews*

Returns:
EwsAllowEntourage                 : 
EwsAllowList                      : 
EwsAllowMacOutlook                : 
EwsAllowOutlook                   : 
EwsApplicationAccessPolicy        : 
EwsBlockList                      : 
EwsEnabled                        : 
EwsOperationAccessPolicyEnabled   : 
EwsOperationAccessPolicyAllowList : 
EwsOperationAccessPolicyPopulated : False

EwsEnabled being blank, should mean it follows default settings, which would be True.

What can be the cause of this?

    Hey @PerezAguiare

    Thanks for your answer.
    My understanding was that the feature of creating new contacts directly from Outlook into Dynamics would become deprecated, not the entire D365 app for Outlook. And therefore my thought was also that email tracking would remain functional.
     
    Is that a misunderstanding on my part?
    And if so, what would be the solution moving forward? Switching from Outlook Classic to New Outlook?

    Moved the question from the Dynamics 365 General to the Dynamics 365 CRM forum.
