Windows 10: "You'll need the internet for this" What's this nonsense?

I was invited to try the new Outlook for Windows, but kept getting the announcement "You're not connected to the internet" which is completely untrue. Googling this problem led to piles and piles of useless advice. But when I clicked on advanced setup and chose gmail, everything worked like clockwork. So what use is this stupid announcement that puts everyone in such a tither?
