Accessing an IMAP mail account using Outlook for Android on Galaxy S20

I had been using Outlook for Android successfully for an IMAP account. Recently the app started asking for a password but it rejected the password entered. Multiple attempts to reconfigure settings failed. Worked with mail provider to try new password. Confirmed settings. Continued to fail. Uninstalled Outlook, reconfigure, and try to set up account. Outlook errors out after trying to accept an existing mail account.

I can access the mail account from a WIN10 device running Outlook (Microsoft 365) and using new password. I can access mail using Outlook for Android on my Samsung tablet.

Cannot figure out why Outlook stopped working on the phone and will not let me reinstall the mail account.

My mail account is not an Outlook.com account.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I cannot open the app to use the "in app support."

    Try adding your Microsoft account to be able to open the app, even if you don't use the email it lets you get the app open.

    Hi,

    I opened a ticket using the in-app support.

    Someone asked more details quickly, I'm waiting for the next answer.
