Outlook for Android struggles to connect to a mail server even when you have specified the correct details. This appears to be due to the inability for it to automatically negotiate the correct combination of ports and protocols. It is therefore suggested that when you manually add the incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server names you apply a port suffix as below:
- Incoming Server::993
