Outlook 2019 encryption error when connecting

“We couldn’t connect to the incoming (IMAP) server using the specified encryption method”. I used SSL and ports 993 and 465. I use Outlook 2019 and it was working then stopped. I deleted the account and added new, and I get this error. Any ideas?

The problem I had turned out to be with my virus software. I ran the repair option in the Avast software and the problem went away.

I started having this problem about 3 weeks ago (End of July 2022). I have wasted about 30-40 hours and still have not resolved it. Has anybody successfully solved it. Thank you.

Regards,

RaliR

You really should start your own post describing the problem and whether you're using a third party client or using the website interface.
