Windows 10: Outlook.com has stopped forwarding mail for two MSAs

I want to post a general notice that Outlook.com has stopped forwarding email for two of my MSAs. I have checked that forwarding is still setup and it is. This a major concern for me because I depend on the forwarding service.

Microsoft Creator 1703 Mail App

Hello Chet,

If you are attempting to add an account to Mail and your Microsoft Account (MSA) is using an Outlook.com email address (@Hotmail.com, @live.com, @Outlook.com, etc..) then you can use the MSA (and therefore Outlook.com) email address and password. In this
scenario it will pull the data from Outlook.com and should sync without problems. You would add the account as an Outlook.com account.

However, if your MSA uses a 3rd party (also known as an EASI ID account) email address (@gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @Comcast.net), then you would not want to add the account using your MSA username and password, and instead use the username and password for
accessing your email providers email server, along with selecting the correct account type for that account (Google for an @gmail.com email address).

Hope this helps.

 

Unwanted codes in email messages

An update.

I received same mail in my gmail account and outlook account. I forwarded the same mail to two different ids(gmail) from both accounts. Mail forwarded from Gmail account contained the error codes and the same mail forwarded from Outlook.com was clean without
any codes.

Again I forwarded the same mails to an email id of gmail from Gmail account and Outlook account. Mail received from Outlook was ok and the mail received from Gmail account was with error codes.

 

Looks like others are having problems as well. This user made a rule that claims it works. Microsoft Community

 

Really weird day for me. When I click your link above I get a security warning from Chrome, Edge and IE. This is the second time today I have received such a warning. The first time was for a link to OneDrive onedrive.live.com. It cleared on its own after about thirty minutes.

Here is the message in Chrome:

answers.microsoft.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to answers.microsoft.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be answers.microsoft.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit answers.microsoft.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

 

It might be worth checking that the time and date on your computer are correct? I know that can cause errors sometimes. Hippsie's link works for me in Edge and FF.
(I don't imagine that will help with the forwarding issue though.)

 

Hi,

That was one of Chrome's suggestions as well. Checked and it is right on.
