    Hello,

    I tried changing the Host name to outlook.office365.com on my iphone and got the following error, the IMAP server "outlook.office365.com" is not responding. Check our network connection and tht you entered the correct information in the"Incoming Mail Server"field.

    I was getting mail in my hotmail account on my phone as of yesterday but today it has stopped. For years I have been using imap-mail.outlook.com and was getting mail updates just fine. I don't know what has changed.

    What do I need to do to get mail on my iphone again?

    Thanks
