I’m using New Outlook. The first time I used it, it required me to create an app-specific password to access emails in my iCloud account. After I was able to access my emails, I turned off my computer. When I went back next time to access my emails, it told me again that I needed to create an app-specific password, which I did. After using it that way for a while, now it’s asking me a third time to create an app-specific password. Why is it not retaining the app-specific password?

It seems like every day, I have lost all the 8 emails I have set up. This is a real problem. I am looking for another email option. I don't have the 1/2 hour time each day to redo my email accounts.
I wish this was the problem. I use office 365 and the Outlook/iCloud problem is here as well.
I have this issue periodically. This seems to be an issue. This is occuring and ongoing with icloud run through outlook!
I have identical issue.
I will add that I must delete the icloud account, then create a new one. Notable, is that I can reuse the same application specific password as before and the account is reactivated and restored. For about 30 minutes. Then Outlook drops the account again and the process repeats. ****?

It is January 31, 2024 and I too have been experiencing this same issue. I have tried all of the trouble shooting suggestions to no avail. Microsoft, please review and correct.
Same here, I have exactly the same problem!
