My Outlook account is not downloading or sending messages. I am able to login and I have used the sync button. Anyone else had this happen and know how to resolve it? I've used the Microsoft help and it was not helpful at all!

    I wanted to report some things I have tried and what happened... To review (since there are lots of people on this thread, with different problems) My email is a charter dot net email address. I stopped receiving emails and could not send them as of February 5. I could see my inbox (up to Feb 5 but none after)

    I eventually decided to delete my charter dot net email address and then try to set it up again. Every attempt failed until I specified a "POP" configuration instead of an "IMAP" configuration.

    The settings I used for the "POP configuration were: hostname "pop.charter.net", port '995', secure connection type "SSL/TLS". for the SMPT configuration I used Hostname "smtp.chater.net", port "587", secure connection type "SSL/TLS".

    Then Microsoft email displayed my inbox! yea!

    Unfortunately when I tried to send an email I got a message saying failed and it asked me for a password, and now I can't see my inbox either!

    I was so excited, for a moment, and now I feel crushed again!

    I'll post again if I have any success.
