Hi all, I realize I never followed up on this so I just wanted to post an update.
It turns out that to set up your Outlook.com account using the Microsoft Exchange protocol, it’s as simple as opening System Preferences, going into Internet Accounts, interacting with the “new account types” table, and hitting VO+SPACE on “Exchange”. In the sheet that appears, fill in your name, Email, and password and everything else is auto-discovered. If you use Outlook.com in the Mail app in OS X and configured it quite a while ago, I’d recommend reconfiguring it as Exchange as it gives the option of syncing contacts, calendars, notes and reminders in addition to mail. Plus, it’s a very stable protocol. Hope this is of some use.
