    I am having the same problem. Outlook suddenly cannot connect to my Spectrum email account. I have talked to Spectrum email support on the phone, and after helping me check things on their end (I can login directly to my Spectrum email account on their webmail through MS Edge), and then deleting and re-adding my Outlook account they said it is a problem with Outlook and to contact Microsoft support. But in attempting to contact MS Support on the phone all I get is automated answers to go online where there are threads like this with everyone saying Outlook suddenly doesn't work with Spectrum email anymore.

    I have had this happen once before, and it took an Outlook update from Microsoft to fix it.

    Please look into this, Microsoft. Something has gone wrong with Outlook's ability to connect with Spectrum email.

    I talked to Microsoft Support yesterday. They took over my computer via remote access and determined they could not fix my problem. After some research, my MS support agent told me that an Outlook server update had broken the interface between Outlook and Spectrum email. He said to wait 24 to 48 hours to allow their Outlook server fix to be installed and then to try Outlook again.

    This was a Microsoft Outlook server problem, not a problem with the configuration on my desktop or with Spectrum email. This is the second time an Outlook problem has caused my connection issues with Spectrum email, and only Microsoft can fix it on their end.

    I am having the exact same problem. I was with Microsoft online help for hours trying to fix this problem to no avail. Microsoft thinks it's a Spectrum two-step authorization issue. It would sure be nice if someone could solve this problem! PLEASE!

    I have experienced exactly the same thing. I've been unable to connect my Spectrum account to Outlook since early this week. So very frustrating, and no one takes accountability.

    This is not Robb Sherker, I saw this post and it is exactly what I am having problems with. So I wanted to reply here

    I followed the instructions here, which is exactly what Spectrum customer service told me to do. When I choose connect after putting in this information, I keep getting an error message to enter user name and password, it is all entered correctly, but still won't connect. Spectrum assisted me with a live person on the phone and said that it must be a problem with Outlook. I tried contacting Microsoft support but only got automated advice to go online for help.

    What can be done to fix this problem. I have Windows 11 and this is a new download for Non subscription Microsoft Office Home and business 2021.

    The only app that doesn't work is Outlook Classic.
