Outlook Android app cannot login IMAP email server.

Anonymous

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've just updated Outlook to 4.2109.2 and was able to add my mweb.co.za IMAP account. It's downloading folders as I type. This is the first time since the issue started in October 2020 that I was able to add the specific account. Holding thumbs it is finally fixed. Will update the group.

Nothing positive. No folders downloaded and outgoing email hung for quite a while. I will now try setup with various port configurations.
