I received an email stating Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access. Is this legit or a scam?

it asks me to choose a profile. The drop down menu provides me an option to pick my old shaw.ca account, my wife's shaw.ca account, outlook.com and my shaw.ca - IMAP account

I am very limited in my IT skills, hence I do not understand IMAP/POP.

When I tap the outlook tab on the taskbar of my PC,

Hi Hal,

I just did this for my iphone and it worked - thank you.

How do i do this for my PC (2) and laptop?

Hal

You replied with this:

>>>

I have Outlook (V2408 Build 17928.20114) installed on my laptop. I have set it up to receive emails from 3 ISP's including bigpond and iinet. All are POP/SMTP.
<<<

Nothing to do

Implying that POP accounts will continue to work.

I have the same version of Outlook (Desktop version labelled "classic") with a @hotmail.com account using POP. This account has no option for OAuth2 settings.

I thought that this change was getting rid of POP accounts.

Am I able to take no action and continue receiving my emails?

Thanks

David

Hi Hal.

You are a champion. Thanks for your patience in addressing all my issues. Also, for clarifying Authorization and Authentication.

I'm setting up the hotmail account via adding Outlook.

At the stage where I am asked "let his app access your info?" I don't want to sync but have to accept. When I pressed cancel the set up was as it said cancelled.

I think I will wait to see if I do have an issue with my hotmail account in mail.

I will add the Recovery phone number even though it is problematic when travelling abroad:-(

Thank you again. Much appreciated.

Susie
