Hotmail account repeatedly locked

Anonymous

* 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?

Did you choose “delete all” or “delete 3,6 mo, 1 year” worth of messages in your SENT folder?

Yes, make sure you choose “delete all” instead of “delete 1 year”

I have very little left I can delete, are you suggesting I should try more?
