Yesterday somehow I received emails in my Live account from my Hotmail account on my phone, that had been deleted. I went to delete them and I was unable to in either account. I then deleted both accounts from my phone and added the Hotmail account first with no problem and them tried to add the Live account. It's been 24 hours and I'm still receiving the error message "Authentication Failed - Please verify your username/password". So I logged into my Live account using my desktop with no problem. What do I need to do to get this account added to my personal mobile device again?


After getting authentication errors when sending email using iCloud I deleted the account, restarted Outlook and added the iCloud account.  The iCloud account has an amber circle in the account list where it is usually green.  Also, Outlook does not send or receive mail.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
I have another microsoft account (@outlook.com) that i can no longer login to after resetting my password. I previously had a windows phone and had two-step verification enabled (authentication via app and text message). I had not logged into my account on a desktop in several months and forgot my password. i reset my password, and was prompted to verify via text message code. i did, and then tried to log in with the new password. i was given the prompt to verify again, but now both the text and call options are not availabe because that was the method i used to reset the password. the only option i am able to try is to verify using the microsoft authenticator app. however, i do not have a windows phone now and therefore don't have access to the app and any access codes. i am effectively locked out of my own account for a month until the text or call for code options are available again. 
Hi, 
We have a local site, set up on the Development Integration environment on that internal MS network. 
We have been trying to set up the Passport Authentication on that. 
Have registered the site on msm.live-int.com 
Added the relevant details[Site ID etc.] in the rpserver.xml 
When I try siging in, it should ideally navigate to https://login.live-int.com/login.srf 
With my Site ID and the Return URL passed on in the query string. 
Instead, I am getting this error: 
"Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later." 
I am not sure what other details, need to be added. 
Please guide. 
Thanks,
Nethra

I am getting tired of this.  help


I am trying to send an email from Outlook.com.  Every time I try to send a message it gets bounce back.  The message I'm getting is:

Reporting-MTA: dns;col0-wss1-s5.col0.hotmail.com
Received-From-MTA: dns;COL402-EAS167
Arrival-Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:15:52 -0700

Final-Recipient: rfc822;**email address**
Action: failed
Status: 5.6.2
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.2 Delivery SMTP Error. Command: 3. Response: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: 
. Type=1 (-956218626:896:-2147418113)

This is happening even if I'm sending an email to myself on the same account.  It happens whether I try to send using the webmail or Outlook 2013.  I don't understand how authentication failed when I'm logged onto the site.  I don't know if it matters, but I'm using a personal domain for my login/email address.  
Hi All,

I am trying to send and receive my Outlook.com email in my Gmail client

Here is the latest status

1. Receiving email - Receiving email using pop3.live.com and working correctly!

2. Sending email from GMail - NOT WORKING smtp.live.com does not work. The following error when I try to setup mail being sent to my oultook.com email via smtp.live.com

Authentication failed. Please check your username/password. 
[Server response: 535 5.2.1 Login to your account via a web browser to verify your account. code(535) ]

Please help.

Thanks

               

For SMTP, Gandi support ports 25, 465 (SSL) and 587. If neither 25 nor 587 (with authentication) is working, try 465. In this case, you should specify My server requires authentication on the Servers tab of the account's properties sheet. Click the Settings button, select Log on using and enter the username and password for the account.


On the Advanced tab, change the outgoing (SMTP) port to 465 and select This server requires a secure connection (SSL).


Close down WLMail and wait a few minutes before re-launching and sending a test message. Please post back with any new error message. 


 

I have tried all the outgoing server port options: 25, 465(SSL) and 587. When I first switched to 587 outgoing mail worked for a short time ,and then it went back to not being able to send. I can receive and there is no problem with my ISP. I am pulling my hair out!
