I included few Gmail.com, live.com and Zoho records to Outlook 2016, however I can’t include a hotmail account.

Two factor isn’t empowered.

It passes the “Building up organize association” stage, however not the “Looking for <userName>@hotmail.com settings”:

It says “An encoded association with your mail server isn’t accessible. Snap Next to endeavor utilizing a decoded association.”.

So I click “Next” and inevitably Outlook says “We are experiencing difficulty interfacing with your record. Check the settings underneath and roll out improvements if essential” (and after that I get an opportunity to change the email adderss…).

What am I missing here? I figured out how to include Live.com which is basically indistinguishable, no?

Alright, issue understood. Exceptionally odd arrangement, yet this is the thing that there is:

While including account, Auto Account Setup discourse shows up: Auto Account Setup Dialog

I generally left default (E-mail Account) chose, as it worked with live.com (which I thought to be same as outlook.com, hotmail.com or some other Microsoft’s record).

In any case, at that point I saw that the other live.com account I have is of Exchange ActiveSynce compose, and not IMAP/SMTP as I expected.

So I chose the Manual setup or extra server composes and clicked Next. In the following screen I cleared out Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync perfect administration chose (the other alternative is POP or IMAP).

Lastly, I entered the Your Name and E-mail Address fields, and duplicate stuck the Mail server from the other live.com record to this one (and obviously username and password…).

Also, that is it, never contacted any port number or security choice setting. It worked. The clever thing is that when I opened this recently made record somewhat later, I saw that the Mail server was not quite the same as what I stuck into it… I at first entered <something>@hotmail.com, and it was changed to <something-else>@hotmail.com…

 

I had a similar issue yet required an alternate determination.

It is as of now November 2016, and at this point most, however not all, Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts have been moved to the new “Viewpoint Mail” Office 365 servers, as portrayed here: About the Outlook.com Migration

You can tell if your record has just been relocated, by taking a gander at the upper left of your program when you are signed in to the web interface. In the event that it says “Outlook.com” you have not yet been moved. On the off chance that it says “Standpoint Mail”, you are running on the new (Office 365) servers, and in this way in principle you would setup be able to your Outlook work area customer to associate with your Hotmail/Outlook.com account as a full ‘Trade’ account compose (to illuminate, this is more completely highlighted than the ‘Trade Active Sync’ type) utilizing the programmed technique in the Add Account discourse.

For my situation be that as it may, this was not working – and regardless of whether I included the record as a ‘Trade Active Sync’ type rather, Outlook neglected to interface with the server a while later and accordingly couldn’t download mail or different things.

The main driver for my situation was that my watchword for my Hotmail account was just 7 characters in length, and the new Office 365 servers require at least 8 characters. This was never an issue until the point when I expected to add my Hotmail record to another form of Outlook on my PC. There was no data prompting this arrangement – I simply made sense of it through experimentation.
