Outlook Android app cannot login IMAP email server.

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.

    I am not confident its going to keep working though, but lets see.

    Does new email push notification work?

    I'm hopeful that MS will be able to fix the issue. I have noe on this latest version, been able to add personal email accounts. Sending out emails remains impossible.

    I got a message from Outlook support. There's a new version 4.2109.2 available, and they have high hopes. I installed it, and we'll see how it goes for the next 24 hours...

    My IMAP account worked today, a new Outlook for Android update was available, but I thought i would uninstall first then install again and then add my accounts, and strangely my IMAP account worked, I have tried the same process before and it didnt work.

    I am not confident its going to keep working though, but lets see.

    Running BlueMail as well anyway, so if outlook is giving you grief try BlueMail.
