Do @hotmail.com addresses, ugraded to outlook.com view support IMAP.

This question is following your last weeks anouncement that

IMAP is now supported in @outlook.com addresses plus I believe in @live.com addresses.

With @hotmail.com addresses here I am not talking about Active Sync and

Exchange etc.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am so excited that Outlook.com now support IMAP.  I set my Mac Mail up right away, but it doesn't sync inbox.  rest of folders are all sync'ed up.

When I click on a warning icon next to inbox, i see "IMAP command Exmine failed with server error 9".

I've removed and re-set up my hotmail account on the Mac Mail, but still doesn't sync inbox.

I've also tried to set up hotmail via IMAP on Mac Outlook and inbox does not sync either.

Thanks for your help. 
Hi,
I have started to use IMAP access after the announcement this week with Outlook.com. However, I cannot see the Archive folder being synchronised. Is there some wrong? Is it possible to access Archived folder through IMAP?
Thanks!

Microsoft recently introduced IMAP support for Outlook.com So, it strikes me as a bit odd that IMAP isn't the default email fetching method for send & receive accounts (like Gmail), in Outlook.com, and instead the antiquated POP is still used as the de-facto protocol.

I've been told by Microsoft Support, on Twitter, that IMAP can be used as the default protocol for fetching emails but for the love of God I can't figure out how to do that. Any suggestions?
Hi
Since the introduction of IMAP in outlook.com, I started migrating from gmail to outlook.com. I use a third party service called migrationwiz.com to migrate and the service uses IMAP to transfer messages.  I have about 1.8 gigabytes of messages in my gmail account. First when I started migrating the transfer speed was 600mb/hour and now it has slowed down to 24mb/hour.  That's the transfer speed for outlook.com and not for gmail. Gmail still showing a transfer speed of 3400mb/hour. 

I figured that maybe, outlook.com limits the speed of IMAP for free accounts, so I upgraded my account to No-Ads outlook.com. Still the speed hasn't improved.  Does microsoft limit the transfer speed for paid accounts also?

The reason I'm asking is that it would take more than a week to migrate my messages at 24.5mb/hour. And if microsoft does indeed limit the speed by that much, I might actually not migrate to outlook.com and continue using gmail.

Firstly - thanks to MS for enabling IMAP on Outlook.com.  I found the discussion on Reddit interesting and largely refreshing.

In trying to implement the new feature I have followed the newly released instructions to set up my MacMail using IMAP to sync with Outlook.com.

The mail I send shows both in the Mac Mail Sent folder and also in the Outlook.com  Sent folder so it is clearly syncing.

However the bcc to the Outlook.com email address does not show up as received in either the Mac Mail Inbox or the Outlook.com Inbox.  When I try to synchronize the Mac Mail account I get the following error message:

The connection to the server “imap-mail.outlook.com” on port 993 timed out.

I wonder if there is a problem with the IMAP servers or is there some problem with my setup on the Mac even though I believe I have followed the instructions correctly.

I did eventually receive this error message:

"The identity of "imap-mail.outlook.com" cannot be verified.

The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server

that is pretending to be "imap- mail.outlook.com" which could put your

confidential information at risk. Do you want to connect to the server

anyway?

O Always trust "*.hotmail.com" when connecting to "imap- mail.outlook.com"


I checked the button to always trust .hotmail.com but it does not appear to have solved the problem.  It would be good for future if MS did update their certificate to reflect the correct name for this server.

Any help will be appreciated.
I followed the settings in this link: Set up an email app with Outlook.com

which are:
  • Incoming (IMAP) Server

    • Server address: imap-mail.outlook.com

    • Port: 993

    • Encrypted Connection: SSL

  • Outgoing (SMTP) Server

    • Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com

    • Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)

    • Authentication: Yes

    • Encrypted Connection: TLS

  • User name: Your email address

  • Password: Your password


But I'm getting an error from Outlook 2011 for Mac application. Which is:

Error: 
OK Outlook.com IMAP4rev1 server version 17.2.0.0 ready (BLU451-IMAP82)

Details: 
Could not retrieve mail.

Account name: "Outlook"

Error Code: -16997

Just got my computer back from repair.  Setup all mail users for G-Mail (IMAP) but when it came time to setup Charter email accounts in Windows Live Mail, it's not happening.  Charter is my ISP. I get the following message.  This is the IMAP message and the POP message respectively...

 

 
Your IMAP command could not be sent to the server, due to non-network errors. This could, for example, indicate a lack of memory on your system.
