New Outlook won't let me add my outlook email account.

I am trying to set up my email address in new Outlook to no avail. It is asking me for SMPT username. Can anyone tell me what this is? My email address?

Thank you.

My e-mail suddenly had a pop-up requesting my e-mail and password. I entered it and it would pop up again and again and again even though I was using the correct e-mail addresses. I contacted my e-mail provider. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Everything was correct. However, it would not get rid of the pop-up and I couldn't send and receive e-mails. They were able to finally correct receiving e-mails without the pop-up, but could not get rid of the pop-up for outgoing. It would pop-up within seconds. After trying to repair the e-mail in outlook for nearly an hour, she had me create a back-up of the data, then delete that e-mail so I could reinstall it in outlook. We've trying re-installing 30+ times. We've signed in and out, rebooted computer, etc. It locks up in the "we are getting things read" screen while constantly having the pop-up that asks for email and password which I've entered correctly over and over and over and over again and it pops up again as soon as I hit enter. I've also ignored the pop-up and let the "we are getting things ready" spin for forever and it still never lets me install. Please please please can I talk to a live person. I've tried everything as has my internet provider.

Hi Segunfunmi,

I am unable to add an outlook.com account in MSoutlook on Mac. It was working fine till yesterday. Suddenly started asking for password. I entered the password, but it kept on saying invalid credentials. So I went to outlook.com and reset my password. I can login from the web, my phones etc., but MS Outlook keeps on giving invalid credentials error. I deleted the account, now I am trying to add it back, but it won't let me.

I have logged in using the credentials to leave this comment, but MS Outlook won't allow!

Frigging Microsoft and its crappy applications.

Thank you for your help

Best Regard,

Karan

I truly consider this new system an intrusion and an abuse of rights to use when I paid for this. New outlook email has taken over and managed to load an absurd amount of emails into an account I've had for over 18 yrs. and now does not allow me access to that account where I receive my most important mail. It is MS programmer's pipe dream to keep drawing high salaries for this lncredible **** of computer science. This new outlook does not work for me or any other user. Please fix it or throw it in the garbage where it truthfully belongs.
