I think the problem actually began during the weekend, but I didn't notice it as a problem because I wasn't using email very much.

You have an outlook.com address?

Or are you downloading from another provider (gmail, Comcast, charter, etc?)

[MercyFlush]

Outlook is an email client but your email provider might be the source of the problem. Try logging into your email on the Web instead of using outlook and see if you can get in.

[Alas Babylon!]

No problem for me and I have several accounts on outlook.com.

I use them to teach Microsoft courses so creating and testing outlook.com, or hotmail.com accounts is something I do every week.

I have protonmail and outlook. Outlook is working nominal - mail is moving per expectations.

I’ll bet a dollar it is a slow dns lookup resolving the outlook url.

[Tell It Right]

No problems for me using MS Outlook to check my hotmail email (run by Microsoft). Nor with MS Outlook to check employer email (which under the hood now uses office.com for cloud email service even though my employer has a custom domain name email address).

But then, I regularly restart all of my laptops and PC's each weekend (both personal and professional ones). You'd be amazed and how many problems go away from that one habit alone.

My outlook.com email address is working. Spectrum is my ISP.

I use hotmail, access via browser.
On Sunday morning a message originally sent May 2021 apparently resent itself.
I received a puzzled reply from the addressee !!
