Somehow, my Outlook account ceased functioning.

Quentin Michael

Hi,

I'm a bit helpless. Everything was working just fine with Thunderbird, but now it seems like my Outlook account just doesn't connect anymore. I was unable to send any message anymore yesterday. Today, I tried to disconnect and reconnect it, and now, when I try to set it up back again, it just takes forever as you can see on the image.

How come ? What can I do ?

Thanks,
