Outlook.com does not yet offer IMAP access, but it's OK because Gmail does support IMAP and can pull the mail via POP.

- at-fates-hands 13y agoI think they're pushing their Exchange ActiveSync in place of IMAP. Although I've heard rumblings it will be "coming soon", but with MS, "soon" usually means a few years.
- donatzsky 13y agoWell, considering their general attitude towards IMAP (and other EAS rivals such as CalDAV and CardDAV), I certainly wouldn't hold my breath. Just see this blog post for an idea: http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-outlook/archive/2012/12/17/outlook.com-supports-exchange-active-sync-for-the-best-email-experience-across-devices-.aspx http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-outlook/archive/2012/12/... Edit: Can it really be true that there's no auto-discovery mechanism that works with IMAP and *DAV?
- bonyt 13y agoReally? My school system is from outlook.com and it supports IMAP, there was a value in settings that showed which IMAP server to use, it was apparently podXXXXX.outlook.com (with some set of numbers, not Xs) - but it's not the normal outlook.com interface, it looks like Outlook Web Access, so I don't know if it's some education-only thing or something. On a side note, it also set my password for me (it's an ID number!) and doesn't let me change it...
