Hi folks,
I got that "[Action Required] Re-connect Outlook..." eMail today and followed the advise (Option 2) and removed my Hotmail account from my Outlook 2016 profile and re-added it, using my eMail address "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***".
Now the account name became an cryptic technical eMail address like "outlook_<CID>@outlook.com" where "<CID>" ist this hexadecimal unique customer ID from Microsoft Live.
I tried to rename the account to my original eMail address "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" but it's not possible. All "name" fields in the configuration dialogs are disabled.
And, every time I create a new eMail for this account it now starts with this **** (wow, my expletive was censored;-) eMail address "outlook_<CID>@outlook.com" in the "from" field so I have to manually change it every time.
Someone an idea how to get back my old account name and address?
Thanks in advance
Michael
