I've been using Outlook for about 8 months now without any problem until recently.   On November 5th or 6th I started getting Delivery failure messages whenever I tried sending an email.  I don't get the notice right away, it takes 6 hours or longer. 


I have Windows 8 and use Internet Explorer 11.  If I log into my email account directly through the provider website and send emails they go through fine, it's only when I send them via Outlook that they fail.  I did apply a Windows 8.1 update around the same timeframe, did the upgrade cause this issue?


Thank you


Over this last week I cannot send or receive emails to friends at adam.com.au internet from my Hotmail account. I get delivery failure when I send to adam and friends get delivery failure notices when trying to send to me. I have not changed any account settings, have checked blocked users etc ...any ideas on what to do? Thanks Cheers Annette
