Default Outlook has Disconnected from Outlook.com account

I thought I had fixed this when I logged into the Skype account and my Ourlook.Com e-mail account reconnected but it has disconnected again and I can not figure out how to get it to reconnect.



I have Gmail and Yahoo accounts that use POP and they are connected and transferring e-mail.

I can log on to my Outlook.com account through a web browser (Chrome) and it is fully functional.

I am running the latest Windows 10 and latest Office 2019 installed on my desk top.

Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated!

I tried all of the things I could find online and nothing helped getting Outlook to reconnect to the server. The one thing that I had seen, which caused me great fear, was instructions to delete my Outlook.com account and then add it back in. As a last resort I did this then got an error that it would not reconnect to my .ost files until I had reconnected to the Outlook.com server. By stopping and restarting Outlook it reestablished connection and spent a while updating and is now connected again. I hope this is not a continuing problem!

I assume you did this within your Outlook desktop program, not deleting your actual account at Outlook.com?

There should be no harm in doing that, I've done it a few times over the years when one of my accounts started misbehaving.

As long as you change the Data File for the newly created account to the Data File you were using for the old account, you should be fine.
