I recently upgraded my iPhone to 18. I have tried to go through settings, tried through mail app and outlook app. It gives errors, I have spent hours chatting with AI bots and have schedule 2 support calls and no one calls me back within the time alloted. It is essential I have email on my phone as a healthcare provider. If anyone has some answers, please help! I have gone to YouTube, AI, Google, I am out of options. Do I go to Apple store?

    Hi @Iman

    I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, especially since you need email for work. Since you’ve already tried the usual troubleshooting, could you confirm:

    • Is this a personal Outlook/Hotmail account or a work Microsoft 365 account?
    • What is the exact error message shown when adding it?
    • Can you sign in successfully to the account through Safari?

    These details will help determine whether the issue is with the Microsoft account, your organization’s security requirements, or the iPhone itself.
