[SOLVED] How to add external IMAP account in Outlook.com

Hello Bernhard

>>

it's not possible to save the Office 365 Outlook calender in a cloud and access it via phone

<<

The calendar is saved in the outlook.com mailbox, which is in the cloud. Add the account to your phone to see the calendar.

If your Microsoft account address is not a Microsoft-owned domain (gmail, your isp etc), you need to add an outlook.com alias to your account to add the account to the phone. Do this at https://account.live.com/names/manage

Many thanks for your quick response, Diane!
<br />I shall switch to English, to be as clear as possibe in my further questions.
<br />Your explanations clarifys a lot.
<br />I have added my main mail account (IMAP) to the web app, and I can see those emails.
<br />I have added an outlook.com account to Outlook desktop, and moved calendar and contacts to that account.
<br />This works as well. Appointments and contacts are visible in the web app, and Android sync still seems to work.
<br />I might try to add outlook.com to Outlook on Android as well to see how that goes.
<br />Anyway, there are still a couple of questions left:
<br />

• I had problems adding an outlook.com account, using the cryptic one that is displayed in the web app.
  I then created a new one under my name, used that along with my Microsoft login password, and surprisingly this worked.
  <br />The cryptic one is still displayed in the web app - *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***, can I change this?
  
  <br />
• Now, when I start Outlook Desktop, it always goes to the Inbox of the outlook.com account.
  How can I change this so it's the inbox of the IMAP mail account? (as I'm used to)
  
  <br />
• I assume the mails in the outlook.com account are just a copy of the associated mail account.
  I.e. I cannot do all mail work from @outlook.com but still need to visit my IMAP account to delete mails. Correct?
  
  <br />
• For Outlook desktop, is Microsoft's recommendation to just use the outlook.com account, or to also have the associated accounts included?
  
  <br />

Many thanks for your advice.

Ich bin nur einer von diesen Freiwilligen .....
Wenn es um SharePoint geht, bin ich überfragt. Mir fallen da nur Stichworte wie Gast-User und Microsoft Account ein. Vielleicht hilft dieser Artikel.

Ich vermute allerdings, dass es, wie meistens, um fehlende Rechte geht.

Hello Agnethe

Of course,

Since I have a separate domain with e-mail, the Outlook.com account is not my main and not my only account.
So I had to perform step 2 in the tutorial.

I have the IMAP mail accounts re-set up.

So now I am back on the green field and can try to set up the Outlook.com account.

How do I add the account via "e-mail account" or via "manual configuration or additional service types"?

I have log myself correctly.

The direct way "e-mail account" does not go my e-mail address is ***** is and no @ Outlook.com address.
My account with Microsoft is my e-mail address *****

Therefore, somehow simply can not work.

Frustration....
