Fresh install Office 2016 cannot download live.com.emails

You don't need Outlook Connector. [I don't think anybody ever did for email, it was always a weird add-on.]

Add your Outlook.com account in Outlook for Windows - MSSupport

Or set it up manually, see
Outlook 365 - Viewing all SMTP and POP settings [sygnus21] - TenForums
Disable Outlooks New Account Setup Wizard - SlipStick
POP and IMAP email settings for Outlook - Office Support
Outlook 2013, 2016 email setup - Office Support
Adding an Outlook.com account to Outlook - MSOutlook.info

You might well have to reinstall [or restore an earlier system image] to ensure any Outlook Connector debris has been removed so you can set your email up the normal way. But if it truly did not install then there should be nothing to clean up.

So do all your pop/imap & smtp values match those required by Outlook.com?

If so, you must be looking at an application problem rather than an email settings problem.

I actually used the Mail link in Control Panel to set up the new install of Office 2016 but I see from looking at the process on that last link you suggested it looks a lot different to Mail

I've just seen this added while I was typing. If the problem has not been solved already, I suggest you post snips of the dialogs you see so that any misunderstandings can be resolved.

PS I'm assuming you want a pop/imap setup because, otherwise, the automatic method would have set up EAS for you.

No luck so far.

I tried the server settings in one of those links you gave me...



as well as my old Outlook account settings...

pop-mail.outlook.com

smtp-mail.outlook.com

using the same port settings as your link (which were the same as I had used in Outlook 2010) for the More Settings, Advanced pane but still no good.

This is really annoying as I'm sure you will understand. I feel certain that the problem I'm having will be one simply change... I just have to figure out what that change/setting is.

Please feel free to throw any more suggestions my way.

I suggest you remove that unwanted diagram now because it displays your email address [which can be harvested] and reveals how many characters you use in your email password.

Just as a comparison, here are my MS Office Outlook [2007] email account settings. My diagrams show you, in context, the settings you have been trying to set up.

1 Tools, Account settings

MyShortName is set in 3.1 below.

2 EMail account settings


3.1 More settings, General


3.2 More settings, Outgoing server


3.3 More settings, Connection

I've a vague memory that you do not have the Connection tab but I seem not to have saved the equivalent dialogs from my Outlook 2016 experiments.

3.4 More settings, Advanced

Note that I should not have TLS set but I'm using an old Outlook version so have no choice.

Denis

Yes, I realise that but the settings are the same [except that I use TLS instead of StartTLS].

Do your settings dialogs match mine?
