Outlook account unable to send/receive

I have a number of Outlook email accounts using force9. 

One of the accounts cannot send/receive. All the other accounts are working fine. 

I have tried deleting and recreating the account using the recommended settings and it still doesn't work. I am using the same settings for the other working acciounts. 

Webmail for the failing account is working. 

What can I try next?

Re: Outlook account unable to send/receive

Can you please run the email server connection diagnostics - see the link below.

What credentials are you using to connect - email address or user account?

Re: Outlook account unable to send/receive

Are you using AVG or Norton AV?

Re: Outlook account unable to send/receive

The certificate revocation error is the issue.  It’s been seen in association with both AVG and Norton AV.

Somewhere around here there’s a mitigation reported in association with AVG.  It’s all connected with their “man in the middle” fiddling with the certificates.

I am out and searching from the phone is tedious.

No problem.

Re: Outlook account unable to send/receive

Magically, the account came back on-line this morning without any further intervention.

I guess we can close this off.
