After update to Monterey 12.5 Mail App is "unable to verify account name or password"

Microsoft Outlook works just fine with the same credentials. So does iPhone. The issue is with Macbook. Removing and adding account didn't help.

Cannot connect to Outlook mail I can no longer connect to my Outlook mail account using Apple Mail. When I try to sign in , I get a message "Unable to verify account name or password." This behavior started three days ago (I've had the Outlook account for years) on both of my Macs. I can access Outlook Mail with Safari on my Macs and with the Outlook apps on my iOS devices. I am running MacOS Monterey 12.4 and Mail 16.0. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Mac Mail - Unable to verify account name or password Hi I have a 21.5", mid-2011 iMac running High Sierra 10.13.6 (the last update possible). I use it for my work email (Exchange/Office 365) and iCloud. Both have been fine for years. However today my Mail app asked me to confirm my password and it keeps saying Unable to verify account name or password. I have tried inputting it manually and also copying it and pasting it, but to not avail. I have tried: * Removing the account and re-adding it (even in safe mode) * Restarting the computer * Changing the password * Checking if Multi factor authentication is on. It wasn't, I tried turning it on, then off and both ways made no difference. * I've created an app password from within Office 365 and it won't accept that password either * I've tried setting it up as an other mail account, rather than Exchange * Checking if my mail account works on my iPhone, iPad and 2017 MacBook Pro (it works on all of them). Wondering if anyone has any genius ideas? Thanks!

through dyndns.com. When I'm on the same LAN it works. When I'm outside of it it won't. Domain name gets resolved correctly if that's what you're aiming at: ****
