Question

I need to schedule a callback please, I am not able to access my e-mail. On-line support isn't helping me.

I am unable to access my e-mail in Microsoft Outlook. I keep getting a prompt stating "Send/Receive error"

I have called and been directed to help.mircosoft.com and was unable to understand how to fix my problem.

I have a Microsoft account which I pay for each January.

Please have someone from your customer service call me at <Mod remove PII> 250-xxx-xxxx (Canada)

Thank-you

I have tried the method you have sent. Numbered 1 - 8.

However, when I get to number 4 it will not accept what you suggest. I get a message stating that Windows does not support the imput. It will not let me go to number 5 & 6 so I cannot enter confirm or provide my phone number for an agent to call me.

I haven't had access to my Outlook e-mail since Oct 29th.

Please have someone call me at <Mod remove PII> 250-xxx-xxxx. I am wondering why I continue to pay a yearly fee to Microsoft when I cannot get help when I need it??

If your MS 365 Subscription qualifies, you may be able to use Call Back Support. But you have to initiate the support case.

MS 365 - Qualified Subscriber Support
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/support

You can also try free Chat Support.
From your Classic Outlook menu do: Help -> Contact Support

However, when I get to number 4 it will not accept what you suggest.

I assume you are referring to suggestions from the AI Answer. Unfortunately I can no longer see that Answer so I'm not sure what step you are trying. Could you detail what the AI Answer directed you to do?

I keep getting a prompt stating "Send/Receive error"

That typically means a problem syncing your Outlook client with your email provider.

1 -- What is the domain name (the part after the "@") on your email address?

2 -- Examine your Sync Issues folders. Please post a summary of any error you see there.

5 days later and I still have not received my requested callback. I have not been able to get into my Outlook.

I have sent several messages (such as this one) and also called your toll free number. Unable to talk to a person, a recording instructs me to visit "help.microsoft.com" which has not helped my issue.

What does it take to get an actual representative to call me back?? 250-<mod: PII removed>.

PLEASE!!

Just a note as a moderator: This is a public forum and you should not share your telephone number here, since it is PII. Hence, I have removed it.

No one monitoring this forum will call you. (But some malicious person might.) As for how you actually would go about to get help, I don't know, since this is not my area of expertise. But I trust Hornblower to have some good advice.

Hello Marjorie Witton,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

As I know, Microsoft Support doesn't have phone support for individual users, if you want to contact their support, you will need to reach chat support.

Before we proceed, may I have a photo of the situation to check for you? Please remember to remove all personal information before posting.

If you still want to contact chat support, please follow these steps:

Visit this website: Contact - Microsoft Support
Type Contact in the search box.
Now click Get help, and Select Contact Support or Sign in to contact support below.
Go to the Products and services tab, and choose either Microsoft 365 and Office category.
On the Category tab, choose Technical support.
Go to Confirm.
You can now choose the option of Chat with a support agent on your web browser.

I'm waiting for your reply.
