* Locked

On Sat Jan 8, 2022, my outlook/hotmail account was temporarily locked due to "unusual activity". I requested a verification code, and my account was unlocked. I changed my password. I logged in OK the next day. I can receive emails, but as soon as I send an email, my account is locked again. What can I do?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    Deleting sent emails definitely cured my problem.....for the time being. Still nothing from Microsoft themselves though

    Today I was able to send emails as normal from outlook on the internet.

    I took no actions, such as deleting sent messages etc.

    I have not received any notification from Microsoft about the fix.

    Hi Everyone, I also had the same issue as you all where I could not send any emails but could receive them. Not sure why but my account is now ok and I can send emails again. Please note I received the below message from Microsoft support saying they have rolled out a fix. I did not use this recovery method as my account was sorted on its own. But you guys may want to try it if you wish. This is the message I got. Hope it helps:
    "I'd like to inform you that the fix related to the account blocked has now been deployed by our Engineers team. I would request you to please openhttps://account.live.com/reputationcheck?ru=https://outlook.live.com/owa/and follow the recovery flow.If you are unable to verify the account, kindly send us the screenshots of the error. Please send the screenshot as an attachment instead of copy/pasting."
