Rather than down voting, why don't you edit or suggest edits. – bryan – 2016-01-29T14:54:05.663

Although I didn't, people do down vote for may reasons. A lot of times without comments. My comment was to ask you to improve it, which you did. – CharlieRB – 2016-01-29T16:24:19.677

Fixed your quoting to be properly bulleted text instead of code. Please read Markdown help.

Did you try the instructions here, under I sync my Outlook.com email with the Outlook desktop app? Or have I misunderstood?

– Jonno – 2016-01-29T13:53:00.267

I found those instructions, but couldn't see app passwords on the page it directed me to. I found instructions that solved it for me, answered below. – bryan – 2016-01-29T13:55:09.057
