This suddenly started yesterday 3/4/2020.
I have 3 email accounts on my android Outlook app. Outlook.com, Google, my ISP's. The problem only happens with my ISP (comcast.net, IMAP).
Till yesterday night, I can send/retrieve emails from the same server without an issue with Outlook app.
First I noticed Outlook requested to re-enter email password. But it failed. So I deleted account, then added. Failed. I even removed Outlook app and re-installed it. Failed. Google and Outlook account are just fine.
I didn't change anything from my side. I can access Comcast email from Web/Windows 10 mail and even from the same phone using Samsung standard email app.
What was changed and how to solve it? I can use Samsung standard email app but I like Outlook.

2021-08-07T13:39:27+00:00 Still not working after years. After month I tried to add my private IMAP server and mail again, with no luck. It feels like the client app is not working with starttls and different domains in server and mail address. I mean, this is so basic. 100% sure that this is, because MS wants you to give up and use outlook mail accounts.

2021-07-29T21:25:42+00:00 I'm really beyond asking MS for help. Look at the screenshot for my "chat" with Stephan. Last contact was at 1:52. It's now 2:23 and he's way gone. Typical MS. Broken apps and software and no support. I'm going to look for another mail client.
