Using older versions of Outlook for Mac in business environments
Thank you so much. You solved all of my problems and kept me from having new ones!
What account settings should I use for my mac.com account (which is on iCloud) in order to get my mac.com mail on Outlook

My mac.com account is part of my iCloud account. I need to know what should be listed as my outgoing and incoming servers and whether or not to use SSL which I don't for my non-mac email. I keep getting messages that outlook can't find the server or authentication failed. I would greatly appreciate help with this problem.
Thank you.

The question was how to use the MAC.COM email address -- not a .me or .icloud address. This is for a legacy mac.com email address, which may now be treated like an alias of some sort.
That is, the question is:
How do you configure the account settings for Outlook Mac 2011 for someone who has an email address like this:
******@mac.com
...NOT ******@icloud.com and/or
...NOT ******@me.com (though those settings would be great to have as well!).

The same is true for Microsoft's accounts: hotmail.com, live.com, outlook.com
