How Can I get My Hotmail Account to Work With Office 2010

I'm trying to link my hotmail email address to Microsoft Outlook 2010. But when I set it up and relaunch the program I get the following messages. This also means I have no way back into the program if I wanted to set up a different account. I realise Office 2010 is old now, but is that the reason why I cannot set up an email account. Any help is appreciated.

The DavMail might be worth a try.

There is no plan for Outlook clients to support OAuth for POP and IMAP, but Outlook can connect use MAPI/HTTP (Windows clients) and EWS (Outlook for Mac).

I do not use Hotmail, but do use Outlook 2010 - I discovered some time back that Exchange will no longer talk to O2010, so I can no longer see my Outlook.com calendar in O2010. I believe you have an option to set up your Hotmail account as either exchange or IMAP/SMTP, and you need to switch to IMAP - but I do not know how easy that is, or whether you would lose old emails.

Some of the info here might help.

I thank you for you assistance. I think the easiest option for me is to use an alternative programme, as there are plenty to choose from. Perhaps to use a supported version is also wise as Outlook 2010 is getting old now.

I'm using it on a personal computer.
