Troubleshooting e- mail server installation
Although mobile devices and email applications have become more user-friendly to access email accounts, there can still be problems during the setup process.

Port numbers are also important, and may have to change from some default ports to the correct port number for Outlook.com.
It is also possible that Outlook.com changes these settings, check the current settings from Microsoft Office support or use the Settings menu on Outlook.com to find the updated settings.
