Check Mail ignoring account

Post by bbqbrisket »

I have several hotmail accounts (7). One of the accounts recently started to ignore the account when checking for mail. ie; no errors or no "0" for no email.
All the other accounts seem to work Ok. I went into the hotmail account directly via Hotmail.com and no problem with logging in.
I deleted the acct from PP and re added it but still ignores it when Check Mail.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Norm

problem solved...
changed out from IMAP to Hotmail which doesn't require OAUTH2.

Could you try going back to IMAP/OAuth2 and see if the problem still exists? It's possible that the switch fixed whatever the problem is, but if it's still a problem I'd like to investigate.

An alternative to editing your old account would be to create a temporary account with IMAP. When you're asked for the password, press the 'oauth2' button and if it tells you that it already exists (which I think is likely), then be sure to CANCEL the prompt (do not delete your existing oauth2 credentials). Test the account and see what happens and let me know.
