My dad has a problem with the free outlook.com who uses the latest Thunderbird email client to send/ retrieve emails on W10 22H2. He has had this account for years..
Since January, his regular previously subscribed and personal emails have stopped being retrieved by outlook.com webmail.
There have been no end-user changes to account settings within Thunderbird or outlook.com, I double checked, and have recently sent and he received an email from myself which came through fine.
I then checked via his outlook.com webmail account to find all of his expected subscription and regular monthly emails were simply not there for January and February. I’ve checked everywhere within webmail to find the last predicted email being in late December 2023 and he hasn’t unsubscribed anything.
The account has 2FA and OATH for Thunderbird set up correctly so, what gives?
If it’s not on the webmail server, where are those emails? Who is responsible for this level of competence..grrr
1. Have MSFT broken outlook.com with recent security/ functionality in favor of advert implementations? (IMO adverts are a way in to destruction YMMV)
2. Anyone else missing regular emails from outlook.com since December 2023?
3. Anyone else encountering a similar scenario?
When they do fix it, I expect a backlog of old emails gushing through, is what I explained to my dad. Some of which are personal and timely important! /grrrr
