When I go into mail to add account, I am getting an error message. "Authentication Failed. Failed to authenticate, please try again later." This only appears when I select the Microsoft Exchange option. The error appears after entering @outlook.com email address before reaching the password stage.
Has anyone else run into this issue or know a workaround ?
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.0
Have you tried to sign-in from the Outlook website?
That doesn't work Smilin-Brian
What happened when you tried?
My advice is based on many years of experience.
Smilin-Brian It doesn't work. It still gives the same error when I try to add it, even though it has been removed.
Yeah, no issues on the website.
No website issues = your account credentials are valid.
Technically, you should be able to access your Outlook account from Mail as I had described.
