Cant add my OUTLOOK mail

Hi!

I´ve had my mac since 2013, and always had my outlook mail on it. (on the mac mail app)

Recently i got an error that i had to put in my password, but no matter how many times i typed it in, or changed the password and tried again, i still get the same error.

"can't verify you mail or password"

I´ve logged on to my mail in safari so i know I have the right password. I ended up deleting all my mails from the mac to start over, and now all the accounts works fine, but not my outlook account - what am i doing wrong - or how do i fix it?

Thank you in advanced -and garden my english - I'm norwegian!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

Enter the part after the @sign in the search bar.

You may have duplicate or more entries in Keychain Access.

If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but likely old passwords interfering.

There''ll be at least 2 entries, maybe more.

The trouble is that Mac Mail almost always chooses the old Passwords if you don't change or get rid of the old ones.
