Sticky Notes fails on Windows 11 with account has no mailbox issue

A bug in the legacy Sticky Notes application affects users on Windows 10 and 11, displaying the error message, “We couldn’t verify your sign-in info. Your account doesn’t have a mailbox, so we can’t save your notes in the cloud.” This issue has been reported by 91 users since it was highlighted on November 28, with over 1200 views on a forum post. The problem arises during the login process, preventing access to notes, particularly for users with personal accounts, while those with work or school accounts do not face issues. Users have tried troubleshooting methods without success, and although notes can be accessed through the OneNote app and Outlook Notes folder, logging out of personal accounts complicates access. A server-side patch from Microsoft is needed to resolve the issue, and users are advised to log in to their Outlook accounts or consider transitioning to the new Sticky Notes app for temporary access. It is recommended to avoid signing out of the old Sticky Notes app until the bug is fixed.
