Whenever I attempt to send an e-mail I get a request box headed 'outlook.com' saying ''unable to verify account name or password'. This has only started in the last couple of days.


Also. I get the same message when I attempt to create a new e-mail account.


My software version is Catalina


What do I need to do to fix this? I am not a computer wizard.

My problem has been resolved.


It turned out that I had mismatched passwords on me Incoming and Outgoing Mail servers.


Further issue was that I had an invalid email address (missing @) in the mail that I was having an issue with.


Don't know how it happened but the Apple consultant tracked it down for me.


Couple of things for you to check out.
