Hi - I have a number of IMAP accounts added to my Outlook identity.  Some of them are from past jobs, past groups, etc., so I can no longer authenticate to them.  I want to still have the mail in Outlook, though, as it is useful from time to time to refer back to it.

BUT - I just updated to v14.2.3 and all of a sudden Outlook tries to hit every single account I own every minute or so, which results in dialog boxes popping up asking me to authenticate to these accounts.

Please, someone - how do I turn this off?  This is infuriating.  OR if it can't be turned off - how can I roll the upgrade back?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Yesterday, I was able to send emails to a number of recipients, however, today, one of my contacts is missing from the auto-completion function of my contacts list. Why is it gone?

I went thru the options, looking for Time zone and noticed Billing. Microsoft wanted me to type in my phone number, using a code.

 

Am I being billed for using Outlook?? If so, not a happy camper about this:((  I'd rather continue grief with Hotmail.  

 

 

how to retreive hotmail password when one cannot remember the answers to all the questions...i have many photos in my hotmail account that i need to retreive..i have failed the validation process twice.  i do not have an xbox live account and not sure about some of the answers relating to state and post code as my daughter set up the account a few years ago. 

i have tried to use the security code option but as my daughter set up the account i do not know what phone number she used and she doesnt remember either.  i have put my mobile phone number in but did not receive the code.  i have also tried sending the password reset to the email addresses attached to the account but dont know whose they are as my daughter set up the account and she doesnt remember either or they dont exist anymore.
the photos and contacts are the most important to me...if you could please just

This number appears in my massage box and hides whatever i type or i recive: b857bb06-3cae-11e2-8100-e069954551a6 What is it and what can i do about it?
I can sign in to my hotmail acct & see a screwed up page with no emails listed. If I scroll down, I see the last email I received was 11/23. The page is frozen; doesn't allow any activity! I have tried a number of fix-its including installing Firefox as new browser but I get a grayed-out page of choices. Tried doing a different way buy got message saying this was not available to me. I CAN get on Hotmail from a Dell Desktop so this problem seems to be related only to Apple Products! What can I do as the Dell is old & I was about to throw it out! So much for the quality of Apple products! More trouble than they're worth! None of the suggestions offered from MSN, Hotmail Support, geeks, etc  have worked so what now? 
Is there a limiit to the number of contacts that I can have in a group? If so, how many?
I have a number of important emails that have been put into the junk folder and have been deleted before I have had a chance to read them.  Using 'recover deleted items' does not bring anything up, is there anything else that can be done?
