The new Outlook cannot be activated on the Mac

I also had the problem that Outlook could not be switched to the new mode. I solved this by manually adjusting the settings with the terminal:
Attention: the settings are case-sensitive!


You can choose from these options:

0 = Switch hidden (default)

1 = Switch displayed, default off

2 = Switch displayed, default on

3 = New Outlook enabled with switch hidden

1.) 
defaults read com.microsoft.Outlook EnableNewOutlook
Result:
2021-03-23 12:17:53.102 defaults[45426:841968]
The domain/default pair of (/Users/Username/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Outlook, EnableNewOutlook) does not exist
2.) defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook EnableNewOutlook -integer 3
3.) defaults read com.microsoft.Outlook EnableNewOutlook

Result:
3

This is how it should look in the terminal
