  • I lost my earthlink email (together.net) from my outlook during a recent update. I have tried the steps above, but the prompts do not correspond with what I actually get after changing the account settings to pop.earthlink.net. Outlook will not add this account, and keeps showing the same gray confirmation box without adding the account
