    No one from Microsoft Support monitors this forum. If the AI Answer did not help, you have to initiate the conversation with Microsoft Support.

    First try Mac In App Support:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/contact-support-within-outlook-for-mac-d0410177-8e65-4487-93f7-206a3a3d71a8

    If that doesn't get you into a Chat session with Support, try:

    • Open a browser to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact
    • Tell us your problem: {Whatever}
    • [Get Help] {Scroll down to the bottom of the page} [Sign in to Contact Support]
    • Sign in with any Microsoft account
    • Products and services: "Microsoft 365 and Office"
    • Category: "Outlook"
    • [Confirm]
    • Choose a support option -> "Chat with a support agent in your web browser"

    Try these checks in Outlook for Mac:

    1. Confirm Outlook is online:
      • In Outlook, open the Outlook menu.
      • Make sure Work Offline is not checked.
    2. Check whether the outgoing server needs authentication:
      • Go to Tools > Accounts.
      • Select the email account in the left pane.
      • Under Outgoing server, select More Options.
      • Choose the correct authentication type and enter the account credentials if required.
    3. Verify the account credentials and server settings:
      • Go to Tools > Accounts.
      • Select the account.
      • Confirm the email address, user name, and password are correct.
      • If this is a Microsoft 365 account using IMAP/POP, the outgoing SMTP server is smtp.office365.com.
    4. Check for network or firewall blocking:
      • If incoming mail works but outgoing mail does not, the network or ISP may be blocking the SMTP server.
      • If available, use an alternative SMTP server provided by the ISP or network administrator.
      • To change it: Tools > Accounts > select account > in Outgoing server, enter the server name or address.
    5. Check mailbox storage:
      • If Microsoft cloud storage is full, sending and receiving email can stop.
      • Check mailbox storage and remove items if needed.
    6. If a message is stuck because attachments are too large:
      • Open the Drafts folder.
      • Remove some attachments and send again.
      • Or delete the draft, then delete it again from Trash to fully remove it.
    7. If the issue continues:
      • In Outlook, select Help > Contact Support.
