Microsoft and Outlook suck!
All of a sudden I could not access my main email account in Outlook on my laptop which uses Windows 11. I opened Outlook clicked on my main emil account. It said "log in". Huh? I was always logged in. Oh, well, I would log in. It would not accept my user name and/or password. It said it was incorrect. It was correct. I had it saved in Norton 365. The, it wanted to add the account. Add it? It was my MAIN email account, it had worked since I started using Outlook (years ago?) now all of sudden it wasn't in Outlook and wouldn't let me log in to add it again? WTF?
I went online to the Microsoft communities, to see if anyone else had this problem and maybe find a "simple" solution as I am not technical. I tried the Tech Community and the Outlook Community forum. There was nothing there about Outlook deleting your main email account. There was nowhere to "ask a question" to get a possible reply for a solution to the problem. Microsoft does not have live human tech support. So, there was no way Microsoft, who owns Outllook, was going to help me. And Microsoft charges us $99 a year for Microsoft 365 Personal. FU, Microsoft! And Outlook.
I had a prrofessional look into it. He spent like 45 minutes trying to fix it. In the end he said he could not restore my main email account to Outlook and that this is a Microsoft problem and that millions of people around the globe have the same problem. It's a bug. Another Outlook bug. Another Microsoft fuck up.
