Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
I think Microsoft has updated something at their end for account verification, and Outlook now can't cope with personal Microsoft accounts.
My set up: Windows 10, Office 365 accounts, Hotmail account that stopped working
What worked for me was
- Close Outlook
- Go to Windows --> Settings --> Accounts --> Email and Accounts --> Select the Hotmail or other personal account
--> Click Manage
--> Change option to "Microsoft apps can sign me in"
- Restart Outlook.
Hope that helps!
