Suddenly unable to open email in Outlook
When I attempt to open an email on my Surface Pro 11th edition, an Outlook screen prompts me to select my email account or add a new one. Even though I’m already logged in, I receive a prompt to enter my credentials. When I try logging in, the error 0x80049DD3 appears. Meanwhile, I can open my emails without any issues on my Galaxy S21.
Another user, JG5044, also detailed their experience with the error:
Why does 0x80049dd3 come up in the Outlook desktop app?
When using the Outlook desktop app on Windows 10, I frequently receive a “no access”message. This requires me to select either continue to sign in or remove my account. Subsequently, I see an error stating ‘something went wrong, try again later,’ coupled with the code 0x80049dd3. Eventually, I can continue working after canceling that prompt.
Current Situation and Impact
Both of these inquiries have garnered attention, with 56 and 52 upvotes respectively. Notably, the error seems to be confined to the Outlook desktop application on Windows, as users on Android report that they are not experiencing similar issues.
As the Outlook app continues to face these challenges, users are encouraged to share their experiences and provide feedback to assist Microsoft in resolving the ongoing sign-in problems.
