If your Outlook is not connecting to your email server, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take:

Check for Software Updates: Ensure that your Outlook client and Windows operating system are up to date. Running outdated software can cause connectivity issues. You can run Windows Update to check for the latest updates.
Run Microsoft 365 Diagnostics: Use the Microsoft diagnostics tool to troubleshoot connectivity issues. This tool can perform automated checks to detect problems and suggest possible solutions.
Check for Service Issues: If multiple users in your organization are experiencing problems, there may be a service issue with Microsoft 365. Check the Microsoft 365 Service health status to see if there are any reported issues.
Examine the Certificate: If you are using a secure connection, check the security certificate for any errors. You can do this by connecting to the server via a web browser and examining the certificate details.
Disable Third-Party Add-ins: Sometimes, third-party add-ins can interfere with Outlook's connectivity. Start Outlook in safe mode to see if it connects successfully. If it does, disable any third-party add-ins.
Enable TLS 1.2: Ensure that your environment is using TLS 1.2, as older versions may not be supported. Check your TLS settings and update your Exchange Server if necessary.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consult your system administrator for further assistance.
