how can i connect my hotmail account with outlook office 365?

Hello Luigi,

In addition to what ‘Brian’ as mentioned, provide the complete error message you receive when the Hotmail account is setup as POP3.

Let us remove and re-add the Hotmail account using Exchange Active Sync (EAS) and then verify the results.

To configure the Hotmail account using Exchange Active Sync in Outlook 2013, refer to the following link and check if it helps.

Thank you.

I have just bought the licnse of office 365 for my surface pro 3 with Windows 8.1.

I was able to connect outlook with my gmail account immediately.

Conversely outlook cannot connect with my hotmail account: once I want add a new account, I have tried both the option with active  sunc as well as pop3, thus giving the corrent servers for incoming and sent emails.

Unfortunately Outlook cannot connect to the hotmail and is not even able to send a test email.

In case of active sync, I have got an emply account without my emails, while with pop3 I get error.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

I'm having an issue similar to this...trying to connect my 15 year old Hotmail account to an Office 365 "Exchange Online (Plan 1)" account that we set up a couple years ago.  Cannot connect via POP, IMAP, etc.  It either tells me that the username and/or password are incorrect or have been rejected. 

Seems like this should be a seamless integration being that both products are from the same company. 

Any advice will be appreciated

I also cannot connect my Hotmail account in O365. 

I get the following nonsense 

and also the following . When I clicked on 'Learn More' i got a page  not found. 

I also received an email from Hotmail stating :

"

When I tried to add my gmail account, I saw the same nonsense and also received an automated email in my gmail Inbox stating the following

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***]. 

It would appear that when I try to add/connect another email account in O365, the request cannot get past the security filter at the other account and is rejected, 

This is extremely frustrating. 

any help will be very much appreciated 

I probably should have responded to Brian sooner.  

I did not have 2 step verification setup on any of the accounts I was trying to connect.  However, I did set it up after it was mentioned on this post.  Then for whatever reason the accounts connected seamlessly using IMAP.  Though not a direct connection as you would expect from 2 Microsoft products.  I have and OWA account issued through the university that I went to that connects directly to my O365, but Hotmail requires IMAP.  go figure.  

I was having similar troubles as you surfing69....hopefully this will shed some light...I just don't get why this 'glitch' exists.

Did you enable the Google setting to allow "less secure" applications to access your mailbox? See Allowing less secure apps to access your account.

I've been having the same issue an its been driving me nuts, but I finally found a solution that worked. I set up 2-step verification in my hotmail account and it went right through. Use these instructions to set up 2-step verification: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12409/microsoft-account-app-passwords-two-step-verification

Don't forget to generate an app password, this is the password you'll need instead of your hotmail password for Outlook 365. Make sure you remember the password (or copy it) and hit done after generating it. This is what worked for me.

You can also try different IMAP settings, the imap-mail.outlook.com doesn't work. Try this instead:

I hope this helps.
