<p dir="auto">John, et al:</p>
<p dir="auto">After some digging and an hour wasted with Windows Support (who tried desperately to sell me on Windows Live) which they apparently converted me to unknowingly, even though I don’t have a subscription, HA! Here’s what I found:</p>
<ul>
<li>The previous existing IMAP server (imap-mail.outlook.com) may work but be flaky in some environments. It is listed in the basic outlook settings, still.</li>
<li>The definitive setting (in my case, without outlook app) in MM and Mail are the settings <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040">from this page</a>.</li>
<li>These are not part of MM auto-configuration, nor the MacOS Internet Account auto-configure, so proceed at your own risk. I used these settings manually in MM to achieve a reliable server connection, one that doesn’t continually re-quest a password or deliver a failure to connect such as I experienced.</li>
<li>If you have actually got Windows Live apps installed on your Mac, you should automatically get these setting ported to you (this is according to my goofy friend and I don’t so YMMV.</li>
<li>The New Outlook wraps up all or many cloud accounts (including iCloud into the Windows Cloud and so incorporates everything there. Good Luck!</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, I think I’m good, for now. Also set up Web Mail in Outlook, which brings in more adware, BTW. Not planning to use it anymore. They offer an ad-free version $$. Things are changing at M$. Caveat Emptor.</p>

<p dir="auto">Thanks, John. I’ll give that a try.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have already checked on Microsoft’s support pages and verified that for “normal” and/or previous Outlook, my settings are correct.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, there is a question of the “New Outlook” on Windows Live accounts, It’s one that MailMate defaults when auto configuring for unknown reasons. That Server total fails for me and the old settings are flaky. I do NOT have a subscription Windows Live account, though, to my knowledge.</p>
<p dir="auto">Microsoft, being what/who they are, have little if any support on this question that I can find. But will pursue identifying what kind of account I have and how this may impact logging in.</p>
<p dir="auto">Respectfully,</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm no Outlook expert, but it strikes me that you've tried a lot of tweaking of MailMate, but haven't done much on the Outlook side. Have you tried logging into Outlook via the Web, confirming its settings, resetting its password, and so on?</p>
