Hey there guys,

I need some help as I've been trying to search online on ways I could login my IMAP Account on Outlook.com browser. I could access it on the app as during the login phase there is option to login an account as IMAP. However, when it comes to the browser, whenever I try to login it directs me to the microsoft365 login page and when I entered my IMAP email address it says that the account doesn't exist. Does anyone know how to login the account via Outlook browser? Appreciate the help guys

You cannot access non-Microsoft accounts in outlook.com on the web. It is only for Outlook.com / Hotmail addresses. If you like the Outlook web interface, you can use the new Outlook app, it uses the same scripts and supports IMAP accounts.

Microsoft used to have an option to link non-Microsoft accounts to an outlook.com mailbox but that program ended July 1 2024.
