Hi,

I'm having an absolute nightmare configuring all of my IMAP addresses in Outlook for Mac 2016 (Office 365).

I get to a certain number of accounts and then Outlook *completely* freezes. I've created new profiles, but this happens every time.

Two points:

Should I "Use SSL to connect" or not/Override default ports?

Has anyone found this happens to them? If so, have you found a fix? I've tried the terminal 'pref reset' options but that makes no odds.

Thanks.

Use Thunderbird, it's easy!

I'd forget Apple as well ... but there you go ;¬)

I've just created a new profile and configured my email with no SSL.

It hung before I got to the end of the list, so it looks like it's not the SSL issue.

I know we've been seeing issues with the latest OS X update and Mac Mail using SSL. Apples work around is to advise turning off SSL! I wonder if that could be similar to the issue you experienced.

Thanks for your reply.

I was having so many problems, that I decided to abort using Outlook until they bring out a couple of updates.

I'm currently using Thunderbird. Seems OK to me, although it takes a bit of getting used to with configuration and filtering.

Your mix of the latest Apple and Microsoft products often seems to be 'tricky'! ;¬)

I take it you've followed Freeola's Setting Up EmailPro in Mac Mail guide?

Point 1:
As you've had no other replies, I would try both to see how things behave - try the SSL/Port settings in the above link.

Point 2:
I'm not an Apple user - so it's a no from me!
