I haven't been able to get K9mail (android) to work either with Outlook. The receiving part (IMAP) works, but sending (SMTP) does not.
Settings which should work: SMTP server: smtp-mail.outlook.com Security: STARTTLS Port: 587 Require sign-in. [yes] Username: firstname.lastn...@sitename.from.godaddy.where.office365.account.is.attached Password: <the_password> With the same username+password, IMAP is working fine. Email can be read, Drafts can be made. But SMTP sending fails with "Username or password incorrect. (AUTH PLAIN failed (Negative SMTP reply: 535 5.0.0 Authentication Failed)) If "Require sign-in" is not crossed, it kind of seems it accepts the settings. But then when new email message is created and sent, it fails and stays in "Outgoing"-folder. On Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 4:19:56 PM UTC+2, Balaco Baco wrote: > > > > > 2.
