Outlook account unable to verify account informaion

Hello
I have a iphone and I have always been able to check my hotmail ( microsoft outlook)  from my phone. Now when I tried to check my email I get a message OUTLOOK ACCOUNT UNABLE TO VERFIY ACCOUNT INFORMATION. I changed my password called the Microsoft support and spend $70.00 with them but the problem still is not resolved. What can I do?

Hi I m no tech wizz or anything your tags says that you have an iphone 4, ios 7.1. Well ios 7.1 can have a range of issues some people are lucky. Well to answer your question if you have updated and the email doesn't work but before it does than I suggest backing up all of your data and try to restore your iphone.
Instructions are on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
This is just a suggestion my iphone stuff up too try to restore fix some issues but not all though.
Hope this helps.

  • Outlook Account! Unable to verify account information?

    I have always had a hotmail account and have been using it on both my iPhone and iPad with no problem.   Recently it asked me to set up 2 step sign in for security  reasons which I did.  I also changed my password at the same time.  Now I cannot sign in.  When trying to load my messages it says Cannot Get Mail The connection to the sever failed.  If I go in to setting, mail accounts choose hotmail.com and re-enter my password a message comes up Outlook Account Unable to verify account information.   Please can anyone help me?

    Hi have the same Problem. I solved in that way: (also with skydrive)
    Remove the Account from the iPhone.
    Sign in Outlook.com directly with an Internet browser.
    Create New Account On my iPhone.
    Now it works. Also skydrive.

  • HT1694 I enter my hotmail account into outlook and I get the 'unable to verify account information'...why?

    I enter my hotmail account into outlook and I get the 'unable to verify account information'...why?
    My email and password are correct. I can log in and check mail on the site but for some reason not in the app.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I too had this problem.
    I found the answer on another forum question: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25497825#25497825
    If you have enabled Two-Step Verification, then you shoud go to following link:
    https://account.live.com/Proofs/AppPassword
    You will get password for any applications you want to add, just insert that password in place of your regular password and you are good to go.

  • How do I get past "Unable to Verify Hotmail Account Information" on iPad2?  Can't retrieve my Hotmail e-mails from my iPad, Help!

    Bought a new iPad2 with wi-fi access.  I am at home on my wi-fi network using iPad.  Trying to add my Hotmail account to the iPad so I can retrieve my e-mail messages.  When I try to add the Hotmail e-mail account to the iPad, I select Windows Live Hotmail on the iPad.  I then enter my Hotmail e-mail address and Hotmail password in the iPad.  The iPad then says Verifying.  Then a box pops up saying "Hotmail Account, Unable To Verify Account Information".  I spent about an hour on the phone with iPad support and they tried everything they could to no avail.  iPad support said I would need to contact Hotmail support.  I have learned that Hotmail does not have a support phone number that you can call, only a search area that is of no help.  I am able to log onto my Hotmail e-mail account no problem on my regular computer.  I was able to program my wife's Comcast.net e-mail into the iPad no problem and bring up her e-mail on the iPad.  I can not get past the "Unable to verify Hotmail Account Information" message on the iPad.  Frustrated, want to be able to retrieve my Hotmail e-mail messages from my iPad, please help!  Thank you.

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

  • Getting 'Unable to verify account information' when attempting to setup Hotmail account

    I enabled two-step verification today on my Hotmail email account.   This is my one and only Outlook account and is my 'primary alias' which is correct.   I am able to retrieve email on my iPhone and Windows PC just fine - have logged in and out several times today on the PC with no problem.   However I now cannot get this account setup properly on my iPad, though it worked before today.   I get the 'Unable to verify account information' message when I try to set up the account new again on iPad.   (I was forced to try and delete and reset it up.)  
    Is this somehow related to the two-step verification?   If so I will remove it and go back to single sign in.   What do you advise for email on the iPad in this case?
    Thanks
    Michelle

  • Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information

    Hi There.  I was trying to setup a staff members work e-mail to a work iPhone 4.  The e-mail is an Exchange e-mail.  All the information is correct (e-mail spelling, username and password, Domain and Server, etc) but it keeps saying "Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information"  Usually I just click Ok and it still gives me the options to select what I want to sync (Mail, Calendar, etc) and it still goes through.  This time it doesn't work at all. Just saves the info I inputted and won't sync up.  Any ideas on what's going on?
    Thank you for your time and consideration!

    Did the user change their password recently?
    A user complained about not being able to log in with correct credentials (on outlook 2010) while at home. His password had expired, and when he came in this morning, he changed it. We then tried to set up his exchange account on his iPhone, which gave us the "Unable to verify account information" message. When I learned of the password change, I looked in our Active Directory and sure enough, his account had been marked as "Locked". I unlocked it, and voila! He added his account without any further problems.
    So in short, check Active Directory to see if the accounts of affected users are locked. If they are, unlock them.

    It was under hotmail before they updated it. This is what it said when I tried a different one  the pop server IMAP mail.outlook.com is not responding check ur network connection and that u have entered the correct information in the incoming mail server.  I've tried different ways of doing it, it continues to say unable to verify account information

  • Hotmail account unable to verify account information?

    In the past 2 days, I had to change my hotmail password and now I can not use my hotmail on my iphone5.  It gives me a hot mail account, unable to verify account information.  I can log in fine on my pc.  When i called apple, they said it was a microsoft problem, and microsoft says it is an apple problem and they don't support hotmail.

    You stated that you CANNOT use the same password.  That is incorrect.  You CAN use the same password.  That's it. Period.  End of discussion.  Your original statement was false.
    But, let's humor you:
    The fact that I DO use the same password for my account is proof enough for me.  I am an Outlook user.  I am fully aware that it was a CHOICE whether or not to enable Two-Step Verification.  I chose not to use it.
    Secondly, this particular Apple ID that I use is new, yes.  I don't use my old one much on these forums anymore.  Doesn't mean I'm new to the site.  I guess you don't understand how Apple IDs work very well.  But that's okay.
    I did read the link that you provided.  You apparently did not.  The first part says 'After you've turned on two-step verification'.  In other words, it is NOT the default setting.  It was NEVER the default setting.  It was something that the user had to CHOOSE to enable.
    You actually have to sign into your account, go to Password and Security, and Edit security info.
    You have to CHOOSE to turn it on.

    Is the exchange server run locally in the office or is it an outside provider?
    If outside, is it Exchange from Google services or someone else?
    Here's the way it works with Microsoft-hosted Exchange.

    Server: m.outlook.com
    Domain: Not needed (will be needed for a local server)
