outlook can't connect to email

@masoliday​

Should have added that I have no problem viewing email if I log in directly to xfinity so 3rd party apps aren't playing for some reason

Log in directly to xfinity and click on the gear icon, then Email Settings.  In the left pane click on Security and then down at the bottom make sure that Third Party Access Security is checked.

@masoliday did the information @Again help you with your 3rd party apps?

I had already confirmed that 3rd part apps were enabled. I deactivated all add-ins, un-installed outlook, re-installed and still didn't work. Then a day or so later it all worked fine magically. I don't claim to understand but at least it's all working (until MS does another update anyway...)
