'Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access'.
You can create a new profile since your desktop already has a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Instead of using POP/IMAP and SMTP settings, create a new Outlook Desktop profile and then add your Outlook.com account using automatic account configuration, which will add the account with Modern Authentication. To do this, please use the following guidance:
-
Create a new Outlook Desktop profile. For more information, please go to Create an Outlook profile.
-
Add your Outlook.com account. For more information, please go to Add an email account to Outlook.

Teresa_Cyrus Thanks. Sorry, but I am not sure, will this address the matter of Gmail and SMTP in Microsoft 365?
- Hi Teresa_Cyrus,
I received this email message as well indicating that I may lose access to my email account after September 16, 2024.
I use an email address that ends in "hotmail.com". Before I received this alert, I was using the Apple Mail app on my phone. Today I added this email account to my Outlook mail app. Is this all I need to do so that I don't lose access to this email account and the OneDrive that is linked to it?
Thanks. - Sorry for the late response.
Thanks for the above. It was the SMTP part that led to some confusion on my side.
Anyway, thanks again.
Mike999 gmail and Mictosoft 265 use modern authentication so they have addressed this issue per my IT dept at my work.
