Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
Hi! The version you mentioned is for the "New Outlook" desktop application, but you’ve categorized your request under "Outlook Web." Please note that Outlook Web only works with Microsoft accounts.
Since your account is with AT&T, I’ll assume you are using the "New Outlook" desktop app.
This message is generated by the AT&T login system, not by the Outlook application itself. Outlook simply opens this login page, so the error originates on the AT&T side. Even if your email works on your mobile devices, please keep in mind that mobile and desktop platforms rely on different infrastructures.
Based on some research in the forum, other users have encountered this same issue. Some have reported temporary account blocks, service instability, or network-related problems.
- One test you can try is to disconnect your computer from your current Wi-Fi network, enable the mobile hotspot on your phone (ensure only mobile data is active and the phone's Wi-Fi is turned off), and then connect your computer to that mobile hotspot. This will help determine if the issue lies with your Wi-Fi network. You can find more details in the thread below:
- If it doesn't work, contact AT&T Support.
