"Outlook" email question
I have a screen that says "your account has been locked, contact your support person and try again"

1 Why is my account locked ?
2 What/who is my support person ? and how do I contact them ?

Thanks in advance for any help. Please type slowly I'm no techno-wizard.

While I am not a computer techie, I use Outlook all day at work.

To me it sounds like spam or you've been highjacked.

I would tend to agree ^^^^ with h2toys with the limited information.
Care to expand details on exactly where and when.
If it is just an email - ignore it.
If it is a pop-up it could be more seriious.
Can you get or send any emails?
Versions of Outlook?

So is this an online only version of Outlook or the older actual program that's on your computer?
In either case, I'd suspect a virus or scam you have somehow had infect your account.
Do a search using the exact text and see what pops up there.

I expect GoDaddy is your Tech support if they host your website and back-end Outlook server.

Log into GoDaddy and see if they have any messages for you about something easy like an expired credit card before you call them for help.

Call your company’s email support team.

Correct,after I typed and looked at it the light came on.

Auto-renewal was off at godaddy. I work (part-time) 2 jobs both computer/keyboard heavy and I'm in total control.

Once I get outside of my little corner it's embarassing how techno clueless I realy am

Thanks for the responses. Have a Great Thanksgiving.

I had the same problem for quite a while as well. I think it has something to do with Microsoft 365, maybe a password issue. The problem eventually went away, don't really remember if I did anything to fix it.
