Outlook Cannot Log On Verify You Are Connected to The Network
“I am using Microsoft Outlook 2016 and while working with it, I encountered an error statement i.e., Outlook cannot log on verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server. Just before 2 hours, I had added a new business id in Outlook app and after that am currently facing this problem. After hundreds of attempt also, I am unable to fix error ‘unable to log on to the server’ problem. God knows what had happened! Can anyone help me out with this?”
Alike the above prevalent issue, such type of problem might occur in MS Outlook when some changes are made. In general, this situation arises when the domain server which is in root starts giving the response to the auto discover request and users are unable to work with Outlook email client. This scenario occurs because Microsoft constantly updates and upgrades its services and often-time, in few attempts make users know about their new services that do not update the user’s configurations.
In order to fix the error, you need to perform two things. Initially, you could try eliminating the recently configured email id from Outlook and then, configure it again. Secondly, delete the current profile and again recreate it. In majority cases, the second measure works more in comparison to the first one. So, if you are not eager to take chances and want a successful result in the first attempt, remove the current Outlook profile and then, create a new profile.
