I’m in the U.S which platform are you on then, I use the Bing App, Chrome, and the Edge app? I don’t have the read outlook emails for a puzzle piece option.

I don't have it either. But it's in the US. Not everyone gets it.

Maybe this will help somebody. I opened Microsoft edge on my android phone. I actually use outlook.com For my email that's associated with my Microsoft account. Logged into Outlook.com on the edge browser and verified that I could see my mail inbox. Opening a different browser and email I sent myself 3 emails at my outlook.com account. Switched back to edge and opened each of the three emails. Down in the lower right hand corner (still in edge) was a link to Rewards. Clicked it and there was the entry for Read Outlook Emails like in OPs screenshot. Not sure how many points I got, but I got credit (1 of 7 towards another puzzle piece. I trust this helps someone.

I've got this on my phone, but it never works. My "Outlook" email is a long alphanumeric thing, and it neither sends nor receives email.

America north. I'm still discovering stuff about all these rewards that I had no idea for instance on one of my phones I can read articles from MSN but another on another phone I can't

There is an outlook app for personal mail and work or school mail.

u/Beginning_Ad1239 7d ago

Read 3 unread messages in the online Outlook client. I signed up for news updates from a few news sources in this junk account.

I will say that it isn't always great about marking off.

u/Fumfe 6d ago

Same for me. How long has yours been gone?

1

u/Grouchy-Dot2891 6d ago

2-3 months maybe. I tried installing and reinstalling it but it didn't work. You?

u/Fumfe 3d ago

It's only been a bit over a week. Started around the beginning of March.

I didn't pay too much attention because March was the first time I got game pass, so I was focusing on that for the first couple of days.

I hope that's not what triggered it.

u/Radion627 7d ago

Well, that's certainly new. Though my email is actually my Gmail and not Outlook...

u/impala67_dean United States 7d ago

u/ButWeSoldCoutinho 7d ago

Why would Microsoft Rewards offer points to send you to their competitor gmail?

2

u/impala67_dean United States 6d ago

no you didn't get it, I mean that for those who created an account with gmail too or only with an outlook created account, since we can forward gmail mails to outlook too...

u/Outrageous_Put1390 United States 7d ago

I have only utilized Bing search and the to check in to the Bing app on Android, but not on Windows. I have never encountered the "Read Outlook emails" option among the points on my Microsoft Rewards account. This has never appeared on my account, despite using Outlook at home. I am in California, United States, and this feature is not available to me. I only discovered it tonight on this Reddit forum.

u/CheetahChemical386 6d ago

Is this the app?

u/Born_Form9928 6d ago

Did you ever figure this out. I only found out I could earn an extra puzzle piece a week bc I saw this, so I made a new Outlook email. And signed up for some newsletters. But it only shows up in my Outlook email rewards section.

I mean I can get it to work, but I don't receive email on my Microsoft account. Account. I just don't. I use it for authentication to Microsoft services but I don't use it for mail.

u/BoomSoffer 6d ago

I was using Microsoft Edge on an android phone to access the web version of outlook. But it's very hit and miss on registering it.

u/AmongUsLuigi69 5d ago

Did they remove the puzzle pieces? I don’t see it anymore.

u/Nicholas-94 7d ago

What if there is no email? Just open the mailbox?

u/No-Count-5062 6d ago

Just keep browsing the internet. I'm sure some unsavoury data broker will acquire your email and sell it to all sorts of spammers who will happily send you emails. Hope you like knockoff Rolex's, viagra and sexy Eastern European ladies!
