man i hope get fixed at least by feb 1st meh

Adding my 'support', in so far as I am also affected. Running the "Nine" mail client on Samsung S21FE. Been running this client for so long, across three phones for many years. Friday last (26-Jan-2024) it just stopped collecting email and ant attempts to resolve just fail. Nine Support sent me a link to this discussion. So ... yeah ... me too :(

This problem is so widespread that every platform and every MS employee would have experienced it already. Of course, there is possibility that MS employee themselves do not use Hotmail, they know better :)

What is broken is IMAP connections. Most businesses use the new OAuth through an Exchange Server setting so the MS people are getting & sending email just as happy as can be. I found that the built in Windows 10 Mail program will allow me to connect that way, but OAuth is blocked for 3rd party apps fpr the free outlook.com emails. That is why, in my opinion, this is not a critical issue for them as it "only" breaks people who use the free version. For those that pay for Microsoft 365, you should be able to connect via OAuth - I know Mailbird can handle that.

Agreed. The nature, spread and duration of the issue are extreme and surprising, and the absence of any notifications is an abdication of responsibility which in turn leaves many people changing settings or even deleting profiles. I'm guessing that it is either: Not as bad as we think even though there may be many of us here, or that it is a bigger issue than it even seems to us and the best they can do for the moment is limp along.

so when will this actually be fixed by feb sometime this week or what?

if folks who still have 9 email if it starts working again please let me know i currently decided to uninstall it at this moment in time using k9 mail

i did tell nine to email me back let me know when app start working again no connect retry will no longer say at bottom of inbox and it will start receiving new incoming emails i just couldn't handle having it install and no longer getting any new incoming emails while k9 mail does meh
