Trying to set up Outlook account (Microsoft Exchange and general e-mail) for C2.
For Microsoft Exchange I use:
username: my e-mail address
password: I tried general password and app-password
Server:
eas.outlook.com (tried also m.outlook.com / outlook.office365.com) port 443
But I get error, that “User data verification failed”
I guess it is that outlook demands 0AUTH2 for login and sailfish app doesn’t have it. A workaround is to make another mail account, i.e. google and set the outlook mail to forward all messages to that account. It’s possible in the web mail settings of outlook.
App passwords seem deprecated after September 16h (see If Modern Authentication is forced, are app passwords still working? - Microsoft Q&A).
Does it mean, that I cannot use Outlook contacts in C2?
It means you cannot use mail/contacts/calendar or anything else via Microsoft on any SFOS device until an updated version is released.
However, as a workaround, you may be successful with syncing contacts via one of the other possibilities like Nextcloud, or Memotoo (<== I happen to like them, they support syncing everything to anything).
Sync the MS stuff into an account there, and to the device from that.
(Side note: that’s what you get by putting your trust in and relying on a company like Microsoft. But I guess the ship has sailed.)

I have just received my Xperia 10 III with Sailfish 4.6 installed a with Microsoft Exchange add on.
I have failed to connect my web-based Outlook email Microsoft 365 Basic account @live.co.uk despite multiple attempts
Can anyone help with “step by step” instructions?
It’s not clear to me which username, password, domain, port or security I should use.
Thank you for your help and trouble here
Step by step:
- You can’t. Microsoft chose to break it for you.
What used to work is:
For IMAP-based access:
For EAS (ActiveSync)-based access:
