My current email addresses were hacked and blocked so I moved over to Microsoft outlook.
Things were easy enough, just create new email addresses then change them in my ebay, RS Components etc.
Then I got a message saying my main email had been blocked due to misuse.
I was just sending normal emails I didnt do anything wrong.
I tried to get it unblocked but went around in cicles as unblocking URL kept asking for phone number but after I input it it said there was a problem with that verification method and to try another verification method.
But there wasnt one !
I got in touch with Microsoft and a day later they sent a URL to reset password and account.
I tried it and kept getting too many tries message !
So just going around in circles at the moment.
I looked up outlook email blocking and it appears you can only send a few emails a day before becoming blocked.
It suggested upgrading account to Microsoft 365 and trying again.
So the free outlook wasnt so free after all.
Must have spent a full day trying to sort it all out.

Use Thunderbird.
Get a different mail server.
Ideally get a domain name, or so, and either host the mail server or use an alias. That way your email address doesn't change while you can move around servers.
Microsoft and google (gmail) filter emails, I verified this. They say it's spam, but in reality they filter a lot of email on account of not being American Far Left enough.
Proton mail seems to work without filtering. I have not tested hotmail.
