Why won’t Outlook retain my email account and password? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“Having a problem with Outlook not retaining an exchange account email and its password. So far I have created a new profile to no effect, deleted and re-created the mailbox to no effect, re-entered all information in Windows credentials to no effect and spent 2 hours on the phone with my ISP to investigate any issue with their servers … to no effect. I’d appreciate any advice on how to get MSOutlook (Windows Security) to ‘remember’ the mailbox name and password. Thanks in advance. 😁”
