Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com failed, my solution

Post by jack2016 »

Hi all,

A couple days ago, I start to have this " Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com failed" error with a pop up window asking me to retry or enter new password.

I have a few hotmail accounts working together, just this specific one has the login problem.

I googled and use the methods as "Turn off 2 step authentication" " Delete drafts folder on outlook.com", " change the password" Not a single one of these is working in my case.

Yesterday, I removed this particular account from TB then reboot the computer, today I added it back again, and it is working since. As good as new.

Please try this, you won't lose anything. But I am not sure it works for your case.
