Hello,

Are you checking directly on www.outlook.com via the web browser?

If so, please complete these steps on a computer, not on a smartphone or tablet.

====================

First, go to https://www.outlook.com and sign in.

Click the gear icon in the top right corner to open Settings.

Under Mail, review the following areas:

Rules

If any rules are listed, delete all of them.

Conditional formatting

If anything is set up there, delete it.

Forwarding and IMAP

If you see any entries or settings you did not create, remove them. Turn off POP and IMAP.

Junk

Review Safe sender and blocked list. If you don't recognize any, remove them.

Sweep

Make sure nothing is set up there either.

====================

Go to https://account.live.com.

Under Your info > Sign-in preferences, review all aliases on the account. If you see any alias you do not recognize, remove it.

Next, go to the Devices section of your Microsoft account and remove any devices you do not recognize.

====================

Please also do the following in Security section

Change your password (you can skip this since you've done it)

Enable two-step verification

====================

Go here https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/app-access Click on "Don't allow" for anything you don't recognize.

=======================

Then go to Security > Manage how I sign in and make sure all contact information belongs to you.

On that same page, scroll down to App passwords and remove any existing app passwords.

Also on the same page, click on Sign out everywhere. This is intended to disconnect any active sessions that may still be connected. Please note that this can take up to 24 hours to see results.
