Sometimes Office 2019 doesn't allow you to create a new account and can just cycle round and round. The best option is to disable simplified account creation.
To disable the simplified account creation wizard, you’ll need to edit the registry files on your computer:
Hold down the Windows and R keys on your keyboard at the same time to launch the Run application.
Type in Regedit and click on OK.
The Registry Editor will open. Use the pane on the left. By clicking on the down arrow symbol next to the name of a folder, you can navigate to the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Setup.
From the Edit menu, click on New then choose DWORD Value (32-bit).
Name this new value DisableOffice365SimplifiedAccountCreation.
Double click on the value. Set the Value data to 1 and press OK.
Close the Registry Editor and restart Outlook.
