Incoming Email Issues -- MS Outlook
Hello -- Since Wednesday, I have been unable to download new email in Outlook. Outgoing mail seems to not have an issue, but incoming mail is timing out with an error that subscribed folders cannot ...

We have investigated that route and the feedback there was that it is i likely a mail server/service issue, given that it was working pretty much fine up until Wednesday PM when it started.
Does anyone have a link to the official, current, server and port information? I'm finding multiple answers within the HughesNet help and this forum.
If it started Wednesday, chances are Office updated itself. Many email clients are moving to use TLS 1.3 *only* and it's possible that Outlook just went that way. That's a big problem because I don't think the HN email server at Sencor has been updated to accept 1.3 yet. As a result, any account authorizations will fail. HughesNet knows about this and are working the problem.
So, after a bit of research, the latest Outlook included an option (at least on the Mac version) to switch to a newer interface, which unfortunately doesn't support IMAP - just POP. Prior to making the switch, the Mac version gives you alert box telling you that some existing accounts and the saved email repository may not convert. Or, in my case, just about everything was listed. Unsure how the Windows version works.
I have no idea what MS was thinking when they did this. I'm sure there are tons of people that might ignore the warning and now have no way to get back to any saved emails nor can get any new ones. #dumb
