    Reading some of the other posts and trying different options, it turns out my windows Hotmail account is not the same as a Outlook account which is needed in the first place. I made a new Outlook account and was then able to add my karoo account. Problem solved, thanks for all the help and input. I now have a Hotmail account, Gmail account, karoo account and a new Outlook account all working correctly.

    That's a good idea. It might just work!

    Is your gmail set up as an alias ?

    If it was, it's not anymore.

    I used my wife's e-mail account to initiate outlook to at least open.

    I then resolved my personal e-mail password issue (both are IMAP, btw). I then removed my wife's account, which I had a hard time setting back up again.

    Had to manually re-enter all the settings.
