Outlook.com "Sync Email" settings - "Unable to load these settings. Please try again later."

I have finally got access to my sync settings. i did absolutely nothing and I suddenly got access. I think it is just a matter of time.

Mine also worked today. Bizarre, but good to stop these daily reminder emails!

Just a note: this option has now available again for me. Just happened today.

Hello all,

After reading Members messages about the Outlook Email sync email settings option gradually becoming available I checked again today and found that it did allow me to go to my list of emails to edit / re-submit the password details required for 3 email addresses that had stopped downloading to my paid Outlook [Hotmail] account.

Unfortunately although I also checked that all of the other details that are required to get emails downloaded to Outlook as well as re-entering the correct passwords the email addresses failed to update.

I tried that 4 times - each time checking every detail and definitely entering the correct passwords - still no updating - message: update failed.

Over the years that I have been accessing all of my emails via my Outlook email account I have had to update my email details / re-enter passwords quite a few times so I do know how to do so correctly unless something has changed regarding the actual email addresses sync email details ?

The settings that I checked are those that I would have entered a few years ago [I have them listed] - if I am remembering correctly some were changed at the time when some POP3 accessing was changed or removed [?] for Outlook accessing and then some perhaps when Yahoo mail made changes to its email accounts accessing in about 2017.

A friend has suggested that perhaps there has been some change in the STMP details or a change back to POP3 settings for those particular email addresses - one Yahoo address - one Googlemail address and one Rocketmail - but I donreally know how to check whether that could be the cause of the update failed` problem.

I doubt whether that is the cause for the failed update of the Yahoo email address because some other Yahoo emails are updating and receiving messages.

Obviously I realise that unless any Members do know that there have been some recent changes to those Email providers remote / Outlook accessing settings no-one would be able to help me with this - although I would be grateful to be reminded of the sync email settings for Yahoo mail - Googlemail and Rocketmail so that I can check whether my settings are still correct please.

Chris.

Finally it is working for me again and I'm able to remove my remaining connected accounts
