BlackBerry android devices or any Google device can't connect to outlook server

I managed to use Microsoft activesync account in a way, that I installed Outlook for Android, Added into Outlook for Android my outlook.com account. Then enabled contacts and calendar sync in Outlook settings. Firs I got calendar events into Key2 phone Calendar and then also contacts from Outlook Contacts. But somehow 2 phones got less contacts than I have on Outlook account. It doesn't work normally but at least calendar is syncing between devices normally and phones have contacts back again. Blackberry Key 2 phones didn't get all contacts but other Android devices got all. Allthough it seems to be impossible to add Microsoft account into Blackberry Key 2 phone anymore naturally without installing Outlook app.

I tried but Microsoft Outlook is "not available for your device". It's a BB Key2.

Bummer, the app-specific password doesn't work either. Worked like a snap with my Gmail account. Why can't Microsoft get it's act together?

And yet on the same device it let me log in via my browser using my ordinary password. Why pick on BB Hub????

Should add, it did so by emailing a code to my backup email address.

To be honest I think the ball is very firmly in BB's corner now.

For whatever reason, it appears that Microsoft have changed their authentication systems, I think it is now up to the 3rd party app developers to update their apps. BB have been very quiet over this; I am a paid subscriber to Hub+ and have emailed BB support 5 times over this incident and not had a single reply.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the free to use mail app on my Samsung phone works with Hotmail without any issues whatsoever; why is it the Hub+ has a problem?

I noticed that when setting up Gmail on Hub+ it takes you to a Google page as part of the setup process, to log into your account; likewise, when setting up my Hotmail on the Samsung Email app, it took me to a Microsoft page as part of the setup process. I'm not a tech guru, and do not understand the differences between the various authentication protocols, but it seems that the old means of Hub+ linking with Microsoft servers is no longer valid and BB needs to find a workaround.

I don't believe Microsoft are not going to reverse their changes.

Outlook emails still work in Hub without any problems. You just need to remove the old Outlook.com account and add it back again, using IMAP option instead. Since I've made the switch three weeks ago, everything is fine.

Just wondering, did you use your regular password or was it an app specific password that Microsoft generated?
