Possible to set outlook.com account?
 
#1
0  
I changed my hotmail (live.com) account to new outlook.com domain.
Searched Google about an hour while trying to set IMAP communication through TheBat, in vain... Can't find any relevant info about server address and protocols

I tried many combinations, for example:

server: imap.outlook.com
connection: TLS

Log:
Code
IMAP  - Connecting to IMAP server imap.outlook.com on port 993
IMAP  - Initiating TLS handshake
IMAP  - Certificate S/N: 53BC6DA6000800020AB1, algorithm: RSA (2048 bits), issued from 4/20/2011 7:04:45 PM to 4/19/2013 7:04:45 PM, for 5 host(s): outlook.com, *.outlook.com, *.exchangelabs.com, m.outlook.com, m.exchangelabs.com.

According http://www.zdnet.com/using-the-outlook-com-preview-faq-7000001967/ :

What are the POP/SMTP settings for an @outlook.com address? Is IMAP supported?

Outlook.com accounts use Exchange ActiveSync as their default protocol. You can access messages and sync contacts using any modern web browser or a client that supports Exchange ActiveSync, such as Outlook 2013, earlier versions of Outlook with the Hotmail Connector add-in, and mobile apps on iOS, Windows Phone, and newer Android devices.

According to Microsoft’s documentation, IMAP is not supported.

Use of POP/SMTP is discouraged for @outlook.com addresses, but it will work if you set the servers to pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com, respectively. Note that you must sign in to the SMTP server to send mail.

What are the settings for using Outlook (the program) with an @outlook.com email address?

For Outlook 2013, Exchange ActiveSync support is built in. Just enter the email address and password and it should configure automatically. For Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003, you still need to use the free Outlook Hotmail Connector add-in.

Seems like no way to IMAP, just POP3 with same settings and servers like for hotmail
