Yes, I changed my password on outlook.

After you change the password on your Outlook account, you have to update that password in the Mail app. Many will just delete the account and add it again where it will ask for the Password, and that is probably the easiest method.


You can try to go to Settings > Apps > Mail > Accounts, and tap on the name of the Account to see if there is a section to enter the new password. It can be confusing to do in Settings because not all Mail Providers include the same settings and I do not have an Outlook account to see what options you have there.
