I don’t know if there has been any problem with Outlook recently but since this morning I can’t receive mails once I open the program. I’ve tried removing and adding the account using both ports 143 and 993 and it still gives me errors.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Normally, if you add the account by going to Menu > Accounts and select Add Account and entering the address in the automatic setup, it should be setup correctly for Outlook.com accounts.
But you may have changed some settings now, so it is not working. Go to Menu > Accounts and click on the IMAP tab for that account. The port should be 993, and the security policy Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy). Click on Save & Close when done.
If that is still not working, as a test, can you completely disable any anti-virus, firewall, proxy or VPN, then try again. Sometimes even restarting your router may resolve this.
Thanks, I’ve tried disabling the antivirus and firewall and it’s still the same. If I select port 993 it gives an immediate error while if I put 143 it takes a long time but ends up giving the same error. I’ve also restarted the router and I’ve not noticed any improvement.
What else can I do?
Can you provide the error please.
i have 2 hotmail accounts that i use through eM Client - as of this morning one is syncing fine the other just sits there trying to sync - the settings are the same on both and i have changed nothing so i am guessing Microsoft have a problem
I get a red triangle next to the account while trying to sync the folder list

Click the dropdown on the right of Refresh and then click “Show Operations”. Then click the “Log tab” and look for any obvious error messages and paste them in this thread.
OK, here’s one!
[SMTP] Cannot send message (Sending email “Test Again” failed with error: ‘From’ field address ‘[email protected]’ not accepted due to the following reason:
"Request failed; Mailbox unavailable
")
‘[email protected]’ not accepted due to the following reason:
"Request failed; Mailbox unavailable
")
That means either you have a typo in your email address, or your mailbox on AOL is currently deactivated or become disabled.
So if your email address is correct, then go to the AOL website and see if you can login to your webmail page. If you cannot login to webmail, then contact AOL technical support for help.
If you can login to webmail, then go to eM Client accounts and retype your account name and password and try again. I suspect though your AOL mailbox is the problem from that error.
This is what appears in the log tab (basically it can be seen that for some reason the error is that the server did not respond when trying to establish the connection with outlook):

Sorry, my level of confusion has reached it’s peak! I should have stated that I can’t send emails, not receive them! My red errors all come from my STMP settings! Just to be clear, I can receive emails! My current STMP settings are: HOST: stmp.aol.com, PORT: 465, & Security policy: Force usage of SSL/TLS. BTW, I’ve tried variations of these 3 & no luck! Hope this clears things up a bit!
Seems we might be getting the old problem with Microsoft oAuth certificate being withheld from email clients?? I’m getting no emails as from yesterday but can send OK (and can get incoming if go to Outlook.com website). Is this article of any relevance to our client’s tech team: Maintain the Exchange server OAuth certificate | Microsoft Learn ???
not accepted due to the following reason:
"Request failed; Mailbox unavailable
Just to be clear, I can receive emails! My current STMP settings are: HOST: stmp.aol.com, PORT: 465, & Security policy: Force usage of SSL/TLS. BTW, I’ve tried variations of these 3 & no luck! Hope this clears things up a bit
I see your SMTP address starts with “stmp” ?which if that is the case is the issue. So dbl-check that its smtp in your AOL account configuration.
Apart from that could be your SMTP authentication method is the problem. Eg: Could be your mailbox provider has maybe changed to a different authentication method on your outgoing mail & so is causing the mailbox unavailable error message due to your not verified.
So I would suggest to contact your AOL mailbox technical support by phone for assistance to “dbl-check what is required for sending mail” using a mail client.
This is what appears in the log tab (basically it can be seen that for some reason the error is that the server did not respond when trying to establish the connection with outlook)
Taking too long to respond could be mail server problems or could be related to local programs installed possibly interfering with eM Client or could be your physical connection is slow.
So first check your mailbox provider for any outages and if that’s all ok and you can login ok to your webmail, then if you have any optional programs installed such as eg: optional Firewall Security programs or optional Antivirus programs or VPNs, try completely disabling those to test.
Also try powering off and on your modem router and any switches if you have those in case you have an old stale IP address.etc. Sometimes ISP connections get slow & you have to reboot.
It looks like it’s a client problem because I already did all those tests when gary advised me to do it and no luck. It also works fine for me if I login to the outlook page itself. I still don’t understand why it stopped working when the day before yesterday it worked perfectly.
No, if you used the settings I gave you, this is either a connection or server issue.
Is it recommended to use port 143? It’s the one that I had set in the configuration and it worked fine for me until before the error.
My HOST does have “SMTP.aol.com”; just a typo on my part! As I previously mentioned, I’ve tried a number of variations on the SMTP settings, but they have not worked! When you say “mailbox provider”, do you mean aol mail or eM Client? If the former, I have their number!
That is an incorrect setting. For port 465 the security policy should be Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy)
If it doesn’t work with that setting, as a test, can you completely disable any anti-virus, firewall, proxy or VPN, then try send again. Sometimes even restarting your router may resolve this.
OK Gary, thanks for the info! I did try sending a test email to my aol mail account and it was received! However, I changed my SMTP settings to: HOST: smtp.aol.com, PORT: 465, & Security policy to Use SSL/TLS on special port (legacy) and saved the settings.
