I'm writing scripts in R.

Please do not remove my question as I checked and this is certainly (and unfortunately) one of a kind.

I'm a newbie data analyst and I was trifling around with learning how to send emails, and I tried using the blastula package and I was playing around with credentials or something.

Instead, I ended up messing something up and I really need help. Please do not tell me to "re-authenticate" as that is very, very unhelpful because I barely know what I'm doing and this error I am getting is a result of my TRYING to authenticate.

ChatGPT said a "port is blocked". It's been "blocked" for 2 days now. I can't find which port is blocked to clear it.

I am trying to "read" into my inbox through Microsoft365R.

This is the error I'm getting:

>   outlb <- get_business_outlook()
Using authorization_code flow
Creating Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
Using authorization_code flow
createTcpServer: address already in use
Error in initialize(...) : Failed to create server

How do I fix this?

I am going to re-install the Microsoft365R package and try again and I will update if that works.

Until then... Please. Help. Me.

TL;DR

Error:

>   outlb <- get_business_outlook()
Using authorization_code flow
Creating Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
Using authorization_code flow
createTcpServer: address already in use
Error in initialize(...) : Failed to create server

Update: I tried reinstalling Microsoft365R. No dice.

    `get_business_outlook` doesn't seem to be from `blastula`, according to the docs. https://pkgs.rstudio.com/blastula/reference/index.html – TankorSmash Jul 27 '23 at 14:32

I managed to find a solution and I'll leave it here in case somebody runs into the same issue. Once the server restarted, I was able to reauthenticate and the error was gone.
