Email client in Windows 10 Stopped Working -
Yesterday, the windows mail account I use for ATT EMAIL stopped working. I even setup two new accounts and tried to get email configured in Mail (Windows 10) and while both accounts werre setup and accepted in the ap - my inbox never downloaded - outgoing mail will not send.
THis started yesterday. MY wife also uses MAIL in Windows 10 - and had been using it for the last year and a half with no problems - yesterday - when she tried sending an email - it stayed in her outbox and would not send - incoming mail would not download into her inbox.
it feels as if something changed yesterday at ATT - but I have researched this and found nothing about it. now the only way I can use EMAIL from ATT is to use the Web Based client - and for our purposes that is not satisfactory - I have tried configuring OUTLOOK 2016 and it doesn't work - no email client seems to work -
What happened??? and is there a way to Get MAIL in Windows 10 working again?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem with Outlook 2016 and Windows 10 Mail I get the message Account settings are out of date, when I try and change then settings nothing happens, the password they show in dots is to long to be mine, but when I change it just reverts back.
I deleted the accounts in Outlook and tried to reinstall, now the new account just hangs and won't install.
I can access the web emails, but this is just driving me crazy, I have just received a new laptop, but I want this sorted before I set it up.
I have linked all the accounts I have created a security key, but nowhere am I asked to insert it,
I found a web page showing the screenshots of Outlook 2016/19 with a box to do so, but mine does not.
When I try and do it through the automated web process, it sends me to a ne page where there are NO follow up items to click on.
I have chatted on line with several people but still no answer.
Now when I try and post I can't log in.

Hi @blwolff, we are happy to help.
If you don't already have to use OAuth or a Secure Mail Key to get your email through an app.
