Problems when sending emails via SMTP with outlook.com accounts

This week Microsoft made some changes on their mail servers, which disabled OAuth login for the SMTP protocol on their accounts.

Thanks Gary, Microsoft are a pain sometimes, I had an issue with eM Client and Hotmail several years ago when incoming and outgoing Hotmail messages wouldn’t work at all because of Microsoft’s security validation certificates if I remember correctly, it took weeks to rectify. Thanks for letting me know Gary

And here is the latest Microsoft problem with eM Client Gary by the look of it, this is the error I get today as follows [IMAP] Known Microsoft Exchange server error “User is authenticated but not connected.” has been encountered on IMAP connection. This issue is temporary and should be automatically resolved by the server. If not, please contact your mail provider.

Was just coming here to say the same thing. Same error message/issue.

Hi Craig if you look at my comments and replies to Gary a team leader you will see what’s been happening in the last couple of weeks and this new issue could be part of an old problem, I have just followed the steps Gary gave me previously again removing permissions to eM client from Microsoft running a patch and relaunching eM client it worked the first time but not this time, I can send and receive my gmails no problem so I think we’ll have to blame one of Bill Gates mates again !
