    Default Exchange accounts in Outlook

    Like many long term users, I have a number of email accounts.
    I've always wanted to to be able to access all my email accounts through one all encompassing email client.
    To some end I have achieved this through the use of
    However I would like to achieve the same process through MS Outlook, if possible.

    Where I have always run into problems in the past is configuring my work EXCHANGE account setup through my Outlook settings at home.

    As an example I have numerous 'Home' email addresses but only one work email address.
    I work for a company knows as
    Which gives me an exchange email address of seymour.butts@mambourin.org
    Our email server is

    This basic amount of information readily sets up outlook email on my Mobile phone, my iPad indeed almost every devise I have....................but..............

    I know - there always seems to be a but...

    Outlook at home will not accept any settings variant I throw at it

    EM Client during it's automatic setup uses the settings lisy=ted here



    However using the same settings with Outlook doesn't help at all

    I'm running;



    I also run a genuine install of MS Office 2016

    any help or new ideas would be appreciated.

    Cheers
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Ah, I know the feeling, these exchange accounts never seem to want to set up properly on Outlook.

    I recall something in the settings once about a 'use a secure SSL' checkbox on a dialogue box somewhere, I either checked or unchecked that and I think that's what did the trick once IIRC, but since then it's probably changed again.

    True freedom is the greatest gift a man can possess, yet is the one thing most easily and innocently given away, to crafty curses and binds cleverly disguised as blessings and gifts, in the pursuit of supposed achievement, status and power.
