"Oops, you'll need to sign into Wunderlist for Outlook first""
Michael Murphy — Sep 13, 2018 03:58PM CEST
My account qualifies to work with Wunderlist plugin for outlook. I use office 365 and Outlook 2013 desktop.
https://6wunderkinder.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2279134
Wunderlist works everywhere EXCEPT in outlook, I get this error message when I use the Wunderlist quick add:
"Oops, you'll need to sign into Wunderlist for Outlook first, before we can add this email."
I DO see the plugin registered in office 365 add ins, and it has the "check mark" indicating active.
I have closed out of outlook, logged in to wunderlist in chrome, re-opened outlook and still same error.
I have looked at the "add-ins" in outlook client, I cant find any way to manage logging in.
I have gone to under "Ad-ins" and "manage connections" and the connection is defined for notifications.
I googled, and there was a public question on this forum, but it was removed :(
Any help appreciated.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Please find the Wunderlist add-in (the one next to Wunderlist quick add) in an email detail. By clicking it, you can find the login page.
Please let me know if it works or not. Have a great day!

The answer provided above doesn't work. It spins and gives no option to sign in. I have signed in everywhere I could find. More information, please.

I am having the same problem - clicking on it in an e-mail yields the Wunderlist pane but it remains blank. No sign-in is shown.

Same issue. No login link or option is provided when I click on the Wunderlist button. It spins for a moment, and then nothing.

Same problem. Has this actually worked for any new users since first reported 6 days ago?

Hi,
I'm having the same issue when I use Opera, but it doesn't seem to happen in Edge.
Could you please extend the fix to Opera, too?
Thanks,
J

Hello Julia,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We resolved this problem by fixing errors in the back end, so it’s not browser-specific. Could you please try to clear the cache & history of Opera, log out your Wunderlist account in it and check if there is an update of the browser?
If it keeps happening, please send a screenshot plus your device type, OS version, and Opera version to support@wunderlist.com, so we can investigate this issue.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a great day!
Regards,
Fangyuan
