Sieghard,
With this particular issue, I never bother such so I stay out. Yes to http and https differing each other. Years back, the US federal government took strong action by taking about 100 or so websites, meaning shutting them all down for good. Many were scammers and also “fake” sites to try to collect money, but they were caught off and eradicated! If I see something like this, I stay away from it. Better safe than sorry!

There are actually no links in that message asking to click somewhere to go to your Outlook.com account and sign in and when I Googled this I easily found the below Microsoft support article which clearly comes from a secure (https) Microsoft site: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reconnect-Outlook-2016-or-Outlook-2013-to-Outlook-com-to-fix-issues-after-Outlook-com-upgrade-cda1751d-9503-40bf-bf76-e79454ac5eb3 This describes the same thing just in a bit more detail. I believe it was actually Terri who last week posted something about some emails not showing up in her Outlook 2016 application which are there online and that is one symptom described in the article so I think if you do get this message following the steps outlined is something that is definitely a good idea to do.

If you followed their directions, you need to go and change your Outlook password before you have allowed someone to access your account. That message is not from Microsoft. Look at the address: outl...@email2.office.com <mailto:outl...@email2.office.com> and that is not a real Microsoft address.

Also, did you get an email with the following subject: Action Required: Re-connect Outlook 2016/2013 to Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> after upgrade The message that follows starts like this (I did not list all of the message, if you haven't received it yet you don't have to worry about it anyways): Earlier this year we introduced the new Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> , which helps you focus on what matters, collaborate effortlessly, and get more done. As part of the Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> upgrade, we have moved your account to a more secure and reliable infrastructure. Now that your Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> account has been upgraded, you’ll need to re-connect Outlook 2016 or Outlook 2013 to your Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> account to ensure the best experience. If you do not re-connect to your upgraded Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> account, you may experience email or calendar sync issues, unintended recipients getting added when replying to emails, or other issues listed here. Now, this only talks about reconnecting to Outlook.com <http://Outlook.com> from Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, it does not mention the Outlook app for iPhone or Android. However, to be on the safe side, I am also going to delete my Outlook account on my iPhone and set it up again just to be sure it all works correctly. For the PC they mention two methods, one of them also is to delete the account and set it up again, to me this sounds easier than the other method and I'll do that.

I think it is with the Outlook app, but I can't be sure. Although, I wouldn't know where else the problem could be. About an hour ago, I started having problems receiving mail on my phone, or at least, reviewing it. I know it's still coming in. But every time I go to the Outlook app, I am asked to sign in, because there has been a problem with my account. So I try to do this, and I am told the password is incorrect. But I know without a doubt that it's not. Mail works fine on my computer, and I even went to the website and signed in successfully. I tried closing the app, and then getting back in to it. But of course that didn't work. I will say though that when I did this, for a brief second I saw my inbox. I haven't tried shutting off the phone or rebooting it, because I really wasn't sure that would help. Any help or thoughts on this situation would be much appreciated.
