    Hello,

    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.

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

    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

    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.
