Mail won't sign in to msn account since they switched to outlook. on iPhone, when setting up new account, I can select outlook as an option - and that worked. on iMac OS X sierra, there's no outlook option. I tried "other mail account" but that doesn't work. any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for trying. I got no joy with this either... it set the account up (thanks!!), which is more than before, but still offline. 😟
So - I did this yesterday, and while it added the account - it still wouldn't go live. Woke up this morning...and magically the mail is back online. Thanks!!!
This was fixed by Microsoft, as of today. The problem was caused by Microsoft, and fixed by Microsoft.
Hello. Had the same problem with @hotmail.com. You can no longer connect your Mail app to these legacy accounts it seems, but there's a quick solution: go to your Outlook account on the web and create an alias using "@outlook.com." You don't have to make it primary (if you switch, you won't be able to make the MSN one primary ever again), it only has to be associated with your old @msn account. Then add the new @outlook address to your Mail app through Mail/Add Account, type in the password which is the same as for the old MSN alias. You should get access to your old inbox instantly.
Thanks! That worked. The answer above worked, but this morning it couldn't bring it online. Not sure what was up...but tried this and it worked. Thanks again!
Change to an email provider whose product works all the time. Even in the morning.
well...it works fine, 24/7 on my iPhone, but not on my iMac. so while I'd like to kick msn...I'm not sure it's all them. but thanks
If it its fine why complain about it
