Having trouble setting up my outlook.com email as an IMAP account in Mac Mail for OS X Mavericks. Have tried the solutions on google, but could use some help pls. Have been able to get it to work for in-coming mail, but not for out-going mail. Keep getting 'rejected by server' error. Tried using these instructions: Am starting by selecting Mail > Add Account, then selecting 'Add other Mail Account'. The right way to start? Next, am entering dummy email address and dummy password per the instructions in the above link.

After I click Create, i get the 'Account must be manually configured' messsage as shown below. On the next screen, I select IMAP and put imap-mail.outlook.comas the mail server, and I put in my real outlook.com email address and real password. Is not optimized for your mac. On the next screen, i put smtp-mail.outlook.com as the out-going server. I also put in my real email address and real password (I have tried it leaving these two fields blank, but that hasn't worked either). I then click create, and the new account is created with no error messages.

With this set up I can send emails to my address and they appear as expected in Mac Mail. But if I try to send an email within Mac Mail from, I get this error: Maybe I am setting up the account incorrectly, or maybe there is something addtional I need to do in order to authenticate the account in Mac Mail or in Outlook.com. Not sure, and running out of ideas. Help appreciated. Hello pomme4moi, See the pics below step by step At first choose your outlook-account in the account-informations window.

Below of the window on the right side you can see which smtp-server your are using for this account. If this not the correct account for smtp open the smtp-serverlist and search for the outlook smtp-server. This Window show all my smtp-server from there I can assign one server from a specific account.

If this server for outlook isn't in the list you can create one with tick the plus button and insert the outlook account information. Ahh, forgot: In the Window above you can set the smpt-port under the 'Advanced'-Button. -- Sorry for my English not the best 😠x90.

I just stepped through the Answer provided by Marie_V at It basically worked for me. Again using OS X 10.8.5 The trick for me was to enter a Bad Password for my real account, but actually provide my real email address (step 4), because I couldn't correct my 'reply-to:' email address when I first followed Marie's steps as exactly as possible. I also had to delete the POP 3 account I created initially, as the Accounts System Preferences wouldn't let me create a separate account using the same email address as the already existing POP 3 account. Entering the password incorrectly causes Mac Mail to allow me to select 'IMAP'. Then it was straight-forward from there. Incoming: imap-mail.outlook.com smtp: smtp-mail.outlook.com I was able to send/receive from the Outlook.com (IMAP) account to my iCloud account and visa-verse. Thank you all, very helpful.
