Instead of using the Exchange option. Choose Other, and use the server settings under "Apps that support IMAP and SMTP" here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app


Use the following settings in your email app.

  • Incoming (IMAP) Server
    • Server address: imap-mail.outlook.com
    • Port: 993
    • Encrypted Connection: SSL
  • Outgoing (SMTP) Server
    • Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com
    • Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
    • Authentication: Yes
    • Encrypted Connection: TLS
  • User name: Your email address
