Hello! My name is Dmytro and I will be assisting you today. May I know your first name, please?

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Nice to meet you, *****!

Customer: iMac

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Have you tried to update it?

Customer Replay

Customer: I have new Outlook, and can switch back and forth between old and new. But, as of 1:30 this morning, new emails fail to appear in New Outlook, but I can see them in old Outlook.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Are you sure that you logged in on the new Outlook?
Dmytro Sywyi: Could you try to log out and then log in again?

Customer Replay

Customer: Yes. I am logged into New Outlock right now, and the latest email is yesterday. Also, other boxes such as sent and archive show nothing and indicate that things are downloading. But, when I switch to old Outlook, everything works properly.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Where do you use the new Outlook?

Customer Replay

Customer: I work on an iMac, and have use Outlook (both old and new) on it for many months. Something went screwy while I was asleep last night.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: So you use the two versions of Outlook on your Mac?

Customer Replay

Customer: I normally use New Outlook. But when I couldn't see new emails this morning, I switched back to old Outlook and, lo and behold, the current emails were there and the other boxes were populated. In other words, old Outlook works and new Outlook doesn't (as of 1:30 this morning).

author

Dmytro Sywyi: I got you.
Dmytro Sywyi: Did you update your old Outlook app to get a new version?

Customer Replay

Customer: No. The New Outlook was installed when I bought the iMac a year or so ago.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Oh, okay.

Customer Replay

Customer: I emphasize that as of yesterday (and for many months prior) New Outlook worked just fine. Something happened when I was asleep at 1:30 this morning; it wasn't something that I did.
Customer: I spent nearly two hours with AT&T/Yahoo this morning. The problem is not on their side. I can see all the emails on their web page.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: I got you.
Dmytro Sywyi: Let's try to update your Outlook.
Dmytro Sywyi: In the following messages, I will provide you with step-by-step instructions. I would be grateful if you could tell me when you complete every step.

Customer Replay

Customer: Shall do.

Customer: Be patient with me.

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Sure.

Customer Replay

Customer: Says that all apps are up to date

author

Dmytro Sywyi: Have you tried to restart your computer after this happened?

Customer Replay

Customer: Yes

author

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Most useful advice.

author

Customer: But I am willing to restart it again....

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Let me find a different solution for you.

author

Customer: I await with baited breath....

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: You can restart it again if you want.

author

Customer: If I do, will I lose you?

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Yes, but you can reconnect.

author

Customer: How?

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Just open this page again.

author

Customer: Computer restarted

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Good.
Dmytro Sywyi: Try to open the Outlook now.

author

Customer: I opened New Outlook. Last message in inbox is still the one from yesterday.
Customer: In other words, the problem still exists.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Got it.
Dmytro Sywyi: Let's try these instructions:
On the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
In the left pane of the Accounts box, select the account.
Make sure you have entered the correct email address, user name, and password.

author

Customer: There is no "Accounts" under the Tools menu. Just Downloads, Add-ons and themes, etc.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Could you send me a screenshot?

author

Customer: My bad. Hang in there for a minute,

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Sure.

author

Customer: It shows my Yahoo default account *****@pacbell.net, which is the correct user name. It doesn't show the password.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Can you enter the password?

author

Customer: I changed the password this morning. There is no place to enter it on the Accounts screen.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Did you change it before the issue occurred?

author

Customer: No. The issue occurred at about 1:30 this morning. I changed the password at about 10:00 PDT at the instructions of the person I was talking at ATT/Yahoo. That's the two-hour conversation that i mentioned.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: I understand.
Dmytro Sywyi: In this case, you need to log in to your Outlook again.
Dmytro Sywyi: With a new password.

author

Customer: I don't understand. I log into Outlook by clicking the icon, and no password is required. I just did it.

Customer Replay

Dmytro Sywyi: Please, follow the instructions below:

On the Outlook main menu, select File.
With Info selected in the left frame, click on the Account Settings icon in the right frame.
