My IMAP acccount for my hotmail-account was working fine until some days ago, when I started to get "timed out" messages. I deleted the accunt and tried to set it up again, which isn't working (Error message: Configuration could not be verified - is the user name or password wrong?) Password is correct (it's working in the web application) and I use the following settings: imap-mail.outlook.com, Port: 993, SSL: SSL/TLS outgoing: smtp-mail.outlook.com, port: 587, SSL: STARTTLS Any help is appreaciated!

1) When running into Outlook issues, check this page first - the issue could be temporary. 2) you could try changing the incoming and outgoing servers to outlook.office365.com and smtp.office365.com respectively, without changing your username (hotmail email) for authentication.
