Q: I can't add an Exchange (outlook) mail to Apple Mail
Hi community, I've been able to add Gmail addresses via 'internet accounts' to be used with Apple Mail app, but my outlook addresses don't work. The setup process asks for the server address and nothing seems to work, I've tried: m.hotmail.com, s.outlook.com the smpt & imap server addresses, but nothing. Mail doesn't sync in the app. Please advice ! I'm using OSX 10.9.5 on my macbook & 10.10.2 on my imac.
I want to switch to Mail as Outlook 2011 is driving me crazy: the beach balloon keeps on appearing which freezes the application & i constantly have to re-enter my passwords for Outlook addresses. Gmail in general works fine.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), null

You can also add your ISP mailaccount to Mac Mail.
Mail >> Preferences >> Accounts tab.
Click the button to Add another email account >> Continue.
At the most ISP you can choose for IMAP setting (that is what I did).
Then you do have to configure manually.
