Hi,
I can't add my Outlook.com email account in mobile MW? It's OK in the 7.7 Pro MW, and Gmail no problem in mobile MW??

Just tried it here. No good.

Added a different account and that worked, so MW mobile seems to be functioning as expected. Just Outlook.com that it does not want to know about.

Q: I can't get my outlook.com account to work

A: Outlook.com has probably blocked your account from being used with MailWasher Mobile because it's hosted in a different location, so visit http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/Account/ ... ivity.aspx and look at your recent activity to see if there's anything there which needs attention, such as a security warning or wrong password. If you see unusual activity in the US at Amazon, that is our servers.

I'm not sure how I fixed it without step by step instructions, but I went and used the Android Outlook app on my Nexus 7. After that, the account became visible in Mailwasher Mobile.

When I created my Outlook.com account with a plan to use my MS-Office Outlook client to get the emails, I discovered its default mail setting is: IMAP

To change mail account protocol settings, log into your Outlook.com account. Go to the Options -> Accounts -> POP & IMAP menu path so you can change the mail's account type. Once the POP & IMAP page is displayed, select the POP option.

When I created the account, the mail account process at Outlook.com automatically an Exchange Server account. I didn't want to active mail account open in my Outlook client software. When it was an IMAP account, which MailWasher Pro didn't like talking to Outlook.com.

After I changed from an IMAP to a POP protocol and used the new Outlook.com setup information on that same page, MailWasher Pro worked just fine.
