You are receiving the error: ***“******You're currently signed in with an Office 365 email account, which can't be used with Outlook.com”*because of the following reasons:

  2. Your Microsoft account ends with .edudomain extension name and is being managed by your University domain administrator.

Please follow the instructions below to prevent receiving the error message when accessing your account.

  1. Make sure that you are using a different browser or try InPrivate Browsing (IE) / Incognito mode (Chrome) as this will keep your sessions separate and at least allow different sessions per window. You can visit this link for additional reference.

    I'm having this problem with my university email account. I use a mac though - and when I follow the steps in the link I get the following terminal message:

    tcpdump: WARNING: en0: no IPv4 address assigned

    tcpdump: illegal token: –

    I'm also confused about the following steps:

    1. Click Back on the Terminal window.
    2. Press Control+C.

    I'm not sure what exactly 'Back' is and ctr + c simply starts a new line (is it meant to be command?)

    I'd appreciate your help - I really, really need to get into my uni account.
