    Hello! I'm more than happy to help you today!

    Please add new outlook profile to bypass the error.

    -Close Outlook completely.

    Press the Windows key on your keyboard.

    Type this and press Enter:

    Control Panel

    If you don’t see “Mail”, look in the top-right and change “View by” to Small icons.

    -Click Mail.

    -Click Show Profiles.

    -Click Add.

    When it asks for a name, type:

    New

    Click OK.

    Enter your email address and password and let Outlook set it up automatically.

    When it finishes, select “Always use this profile” and choose the new profile you just created.

    Click OK, then please test again.

    Please let me know how it goes.
