outlook mail server issues
I keep getting this message from my mail app. I am a total novice and have no clue how to fix this. pressing "OK" will just get you the same message with another throttling backoff time.

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
Disconnect from the internet & see if Mail will open.

I think the email box is too big now. It was working OK before all these errors.
I've tried changing the size of it with out any luck it still shows all the emails on the serve.
Is there a way to restart things on the macbook?
Apologies, Problem is I just don't know what I'm doing.
I access the outlook mail server through an app on my S9 phone.
I have an old Hotmail email address though they are the same thing now.
I logged into the server on my macbook with the same log in details and reset the default emails shown in the settings in the app on my phone to show all emails.
I think this has caused the problem.
I've changed the settings to my account via the phone email app to only sync emails for a few weeks and its now done that but the macbook still shows the same errors.
Can I start again with the log in process for the mail app on the macbook now?
I don't know how to do that. I tried downloading new apps
the outlook one tried to get me to sign upto Microsoft 365 for £59 per year.
Edison email was free and Let me log into my hotmail.com emails so I think I've got access on the laptop now at least.
I can't delete the default email app and reinstall though I think? thats the postage stamp icon.
Not the postage stamp icon, but open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, highlight that account & click the tiny minus icon below.
Then Sys Prefs>iCloud, uncheck Mail, then Restart & try setting it up in Mail again.
Login in a Browser to your WebMail & see if you can handle it there.
What happened when you went to outlook.com?
If they're IMAP then yes, just delete the old account(s)
.
I can't select preferences from within the default mail app because it keeps throwing the error boxes that only have "ok" as a reply which then creates another error pop up.
I don't know if it was the safe boot or the disconnection from the net but it sorted it. Thanks so much for the support.
Great news, likely the Safe Boot... take care my friend! :)
