Outlook unable to send emails, continuously gets blocked

Topic

New Reply

Hi all.

I recently lost all of my outlook appointments (24-Jun), called MS to get help trying to retrieve them.  It was due to using a non-outlook.com email as the primary account in Outlook 365.

Then, when I added my appointments back from a PST file, it generated a series of emails from System Administrator, with the following message (below).  I can use Outlook to send and receive emails from my other accounts with no errors, and I have spent hours on the phone with MS without success.  I was able to send emails a few times, but responding to an appointment locks my account immediately.  I am receiving appointments in a comcast email, and replying via outlook.

Dell G7 with Win10 Home

Diagnostic steps:

• Setup separate profile with only outlook.com email
• Turned off 2FA, unable to turn off completely
• Changed primary Outlook account alias to outlook.com email
• Used hotspot to connect to internet
• Reset network
• Deleted Malwarebytes, disabled windows firewall
• Used McAfee uninstall software (MCPR.exe)
• Deleted all McAfee references in registry (thanks Dell)
• Tested Mail app, works
• Tested browser outlook client, works
• Tested iPhone outlook client, works

System Administrator email message:

This message could not be sent. The client operation failed. Try sending the message again later, or contact your network administrator.

• Then I receive an email from the Outlook.com team that says my account is blocked.

Hello Dave Tyler,

We noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook.com account. To help protect you, we’ve temporarily blocked your account.

Why are you seeing this?

Someone may have used your account to send out a lot of junk emails or something else that violates our Terms of Service.

How can you unblock your account?

The fastest way to unblock your Outlook.com account is to verify your account.

If you haven’t setup a mobile phone in your account, please contact Customer Support.

Thanks,
The Outlook.com Team

• After verifying my account and unblocking, this process repeats itself.  Endlessly.  I have had 8 emails from the Outlook.com team asking me to verify.  I was able to send a few emails from Outlook with no issues, then it locked up again.

Again, I have no problem sending emails from my iPhone, nor from the web browser.  I can log into my account with no issues.

• Also, repaired O365 using the online version, but no joy
• Tested using O2013 on my other laptop, with no errors

It seems like this is either an authentication error for my Outlook/O365, or my laptop is now tagged as an IP address that is spamming.

Adding all the calendar items caused an email for each to be sent. This looks like spam to MS.

You need to convince them to give you a little more leeway until you fix their broken software.

cheers, Paul

Thanks, Paul.  I have contacted MS re my addition of the calendar appointments, but they claim it is a machine-specific problem, and not an account problem, even though I have been able to send emails in the past.  There have been no major additions to software in the last month that could have caused this issue.

Alas, it is only this laptop. I was able to send a few emails after unblocking, but now MS Accounts team say that there are no issues with my account and the settings have been triple-checked by the Outlook team.

Your experience would frustrate and might even anger me. Sorry you had to go through it and you had to step through the ridiculousness of enumerating your error codes and symptoms.

My computers, too, are PCs on Windows 10 Home. I’d been an Outlook 2010 user via licenses to my local machines for around 9 years until yesterday. Three years ago I’d already stopped using Outlook 2010’s calendar and tasks because I’d switched to Google’s Calendar (and Tasks) to share calendars with friends and co-workers. That has been working fairly smoothly. On my PCs I can view my calendar through a web browser. On our iPhones we view our calendars via the Google Calendar app.

Although I use Outlook as my mail client on my PCs, I also have my mail routed (forwarded) through Google Mail with three flavors of mail server settings for different mailboxes. When I travel I access my mail on an iPhone through the Google Mail app. Once Outlook receives the mail, it’s set to keep all mail locally on the PCs. I keep four separate, automatic PST file backups. Two in the cloud.

I still sync my iPhone to Outlook’s contacts, which takes learned levels of geekage which even Apple became unwilling and incapable of supporting. But because I’m willing to fiddle with things like Apple’s Mobile Device Drivers, I’d been able to work through iTunes’ bennial recalcitrance in syncing with Outlook 2010. To my happy surprise Outlook 2019 synced easily with iTunes 12.10.7.3. I use iTunes to back-up the OS on two iPhones.

Yesterday I re-upped my Microsoft licenses to its “2019”, single-machine licenses which include Outlook. I didn’t want to subscribe to its subscription services because in the last 10 years Microsoft’s support has progressively worsened, and it’s hideously expensive and time-consuming.

Thanks, SoulRider, for the advice.  I am frustrated, and will try your suggestions.

Hello all.

An update.  I can finally send emails.  It took the Outlook and the Development Team for Outlook to provide a UserID specific fix.  I believe from the email header data that they have bypassed the anti-spam filters on the server.

Aaannnd it’s back.  Apparently, the issue is related to appointments, as I accepted to an appointment and it locked me out again.
