Hotmail account repeatedly locked

Did you go into your outlook thru many many many steps and deleted literally thousands of emails that are stuck in the sent folder over the decades? In the area that shows percentage of quota allowed?

i did but it didnt work, has this actually worked for anyone?

Yes, worked for all of us, myself included

How much percentage does it say you have left in your account?

I have only used 6.9%.

THIS IS THE PROCESS EVERYTIME:

I send emails through the Outlook app AND Outlook for the Web.

1. When I try to send emails through the Outlook app, I receive the message 'Please sign into <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>. SIGN IN'

I click SIGN IN > enter my password > click Sign In > click Show more verification methods > click Text my mobile number > enter the last 4 digits of my mobile number > Send code > enter the code > Verify > I receive a message that my account has been locked > click Next > enter my mobile number > click Send code > I receive the message 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' This first happened on Friday. I tried again on Saturday & received Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' I tried again Sunday and received the message 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' I tried again today (Monday) and received the message 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.'

I've tried entering a relative's mobile number which let me continue but when I tried to send emails I received the message 'Please sign into <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>. SIGN IN'

When verifying, I'm now receiving the 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' when entering my relative's mobile number too as this has been going on for so long.

When I try to send emails through Outlook for the Web, I receive the message 'We've noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked it. Please verify your account.' I click Verify and receive the message 'Your account has been locked'. I click Next, enter my mobile number then click Send code and receive the message 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' I enter my relative's mobile number then click Send code and receive the message 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' This has also been happening every day since Friday. I've tried a third mobile number of another relative and now receive the 'Usage limit exceeded. Try again tomorrow.' with that one too.

I experience the same messages when I try to sign into the Community and when clicking Reply. I've had to ask a friend for their mobile number - so that's now a fourth mobile number, in order to be able to reply to your post.

I'm running out of mobile number's I can enter
