Outlook mail account errors; server and password issues

update. i opened up a chat from Outlook->Help->Contact Outlook Mobile Support, and i'm still waiting for someone to answer. This was a complete non-starter for me. Either the functionality is broken or i'm being ignored.

So i opened up a chat from desktop outlook. After chatting with someone for over an hour, they said that it was outside of Microsoft's scope since I'm able to access the account via Outlook Mobile and Outlook.com. And suggested i contact Apple since it is their Mail App.

Now i called Apple with the number that i was given, and it is outside of business hours so i'm out of luck again. sigh...

not sure what my next steps are. this is tiring me out

I tried support in Outlook Mobile too; it takes awhile for them to respond, and they will refer you to Outlook for iOS in web mail. You might want to try.contacting support again, even though it’s a pain. I just kept doing it until I got someone to help me, which was frustrating and exhausting. On the last chat I also put the message from someone here about how several Apple users were having this issue, and they had confirmed there was an issue with the Microsoft server. You can see it in the previous comments. The day after that was when my errors cleared up. I hope that helps somewhat and you’re able to get in touch with someone soon.

To recap, my problem was with Outlook mail through the IOS Apple mail app. The separate Outlook mail app on the phone and Outlook on my PC's worked fine. About a week ago, I removed the Apple mail Outlook account since I did not want to see the prompts to enter my e-mail do to server connection issues. I re-installed the account a couple of days ago to see if the problem was fixed and my account/mail has been working fine. It looks like the issue may have been resolved?

Thanks, All so very much! Misery loves company, so it was reassuring to know that i wasn't alone in this plight. A couple of days ago, my email and contacts just magically synced and things started working again. It's pretty frightening to know that things like this could happen without any notice and stay down for such a seemingly long time. I don't rely much on email so that wasn't too painful, but the loss of contact integration was painful. i ended up creating new ones for important contacts, and may have to revisit how much i rely on them in one location. The issue has been resolved for me as well.

Having the same "can't connect to sever" issue again; right now? On IOS mail app.
