When you get to the IMAP screen, you don't actually want to change reply-to, but these direction take you to the screen you (maybe) want.

Once on that screen does a field there now say "Account Update", like in the Account Name? If so, fix it.

If not ... you can post the aforementioned Jargon and I can maybe figure it out.

Assuming this is a W10 PC, you might want to add your MS Account to your machine so you log into it automatically when logging onto the box. If you're logged into your MS account you may not have to do that broken 'I'm Not A Robot' thing.

See: Settings/Accounts

If you don't have an MS Account, make one. Use your hotmail email to sign up w/it.
