My operating system is Windows 8. Today I checked my email in Outlook and found that it was showing “Working Offline”. I’ve never had this problem before so I found this forum and read all 43 comments and suggestions for fixing this issue. Unfortunately, none of the fixes have worked for me. I tried hovering over the “X Working Offline” which reads “All Accounts Are Working Offline”, so doing a right click to change something is not an option.

I tried looking into the accounts under the Control Panel; my options are “Family Safety”, “Mail” and “User Accounts” – none of which had anything that I could find regarding an option to “work online”.
