Why won t the Windows 10 mail app sync my Outlook account?

When trying to use the Windows 10 mail app, I am unable to sync mail from my university email account. I have tried entering my POP/IMAP server address (outlook.office365.com) and my SMTP (smtp.office365.com), both with and without SSL enabled. Each time, the app spends a bit of time trying to download my mail, then reports "Something went wrong... We re having a problem connecting to <>". What should I do differently?

Have no clue man, same issue is occurring with iCloud accounts. The only working mail accounts are Gmail. Windows 10 has way to many issues, i think i am going to downgrade until these bugs get fixed.

For university emails connected to Outlook, try Settings > Accounts > Add account. Click "Exchange." Enter your email address (e.g. bobsmith@uni.edu), click next, enter your password, and sign-in. A pop-up box may appear and if so, click "Enforce these policies."

Hopefully, this will work for you as it did for me!
