Outlook account cant sync with eMClient. Error: Attempt to communicate failed.

Outlook account cant sync with eMClient.  Error: Attempt to communicate failed. This could be caused by temporary server unavailability or incorrect settings.  I never changed the settings.  I deleted the account in eMCleint and readded.  I know my password is correct, but it won’t connect.  What has changed? or Why won’t it connect ? This is not a new account.  I’ve used this email account for about 3 years in eMClient.  I stopped working about a week ago.

No doubt due to Outlook.com changing to Exchange. You have to add the account again as an Exchange account. Check out this conversation: https://forum.emclient.com/emclient/t…

I did add the account again, still get the same error

Setting it up as an exchange account did not work

Helllo Melody,
do you use any security software that could be blocking the connection - Antivirus, Firewall? Try adding eM Client to its exceptions and see if that fixes the issue.
