REPowellJust as an FYI: I've been "talking" to a tech support rep for almost an hour. They said "It seems the latest version of Outlook is presenting some conflicts that can be interfering in the connection between the Outlook app and the third-party mail servers." However, I've tried earlier versions, and it's still not working. I'll let you know if I find a version that does work.
- REPowellMay 19, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for your update. I have two yahoo accounts. One is working fine (an older account) but my att.net account is the one that continually tries to re-sync.

I spent over 2 hours in a chat with their tech support. Finally bailed on it because they kept asking me to do the same things I had already done repeatedly. For the record, I had the same problem with version 16.69, 16.70, 16.71, and 16.72. You might want to contact them just so it'll be on record that there is more than one person with this problem.
