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.

    Hi all!

    I don't want to destroy your hope, but this seems to be the reason for MS's distinterest in our problems with OfA:

    Microsoft is building a new Outlook app for Windows and Mac powered by the web

    Version 4.2048.4

    IMAP-Port: 993

    SMTP-Port: 587

    Symptoms:

    • No Push-Notification
    • Incoming e-mails are being synchronized, but message appears every time: "Please login to [e-mail account]".
    • Outgoing e-mail: "Sending" for a quite long time; then displayed in folder "Sent", but the e-mail doesn't get to the receipient. Actually it is in folder "Drafts" when I check the account via webmail.

    I would be willing to help fixing OfA, as well as surely many others.

    Why does Microsoft not make use of such a valuable ressource?

    I gave the latest version try, but it is even more broken than it was before the October 9 update:

    • New email push notifications doesn't work at all
    • Sending email doesn't work, email is stuck "sending"
    • Manual checking for new message works, but it always displays "read more messages" link.
