I have just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S26 and in setting up the new phone cannot sync my emails with my laptop, which is very important to my business ([Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed]). My previous phone which I am still using (Samsung S20) syncs my emails with no problem.

I have spent much time with Samsung support trying to resolve this issue but the problem seems to be that for some reason when using the MS outlook app my account cannot be verified so I need help from you as my email service provider.

You can contact me on [Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed] or email [Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed]@salisburyjones.com .

Thank you.

    Hi @George Vasdekys

    May I ask if you use Microsoft Authenticator for sign-in or multi-factor authentication (MFA)? If so, have you already added your work account to the Authenticator app?

    Also, please provide the exact error message you receive during the account verification process in Outlook for Android.

    In the meantime, please try the following:

    1. Update Outlook to the latest version from the Google Play Store.
    2. Remove any previously attempted account setup from Outlook on your Samsung Galaxy S26, then add the account again.
    3. Verify that any MFA prompts are being approved on the registered device.
    4. Sign in to Outlook on the web using your phone's browser to confirm the account credentials are accepted.

    Once I have the error message and the information regarding Microsoft Authenticator, I'll be able to assist you further.
