I am trying to add my outlook.com account with a custom domain to my Apple Mail client. I was able to successfully add the account to my iPhone using the "outlook.com" account template provided in iOS. In OSX Mavericks, there is no such template so I started with the Exchange account type.
However, it won't accept my device passwords no matter what I try. I tried different servers, outlook.com, m.outlook.com. I regenerated the device password each time, making sure that I was copying the exact password etc, so I am fairly sure that I got it right.
I also tried following the instructions here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/exchange-activesync-eas-settings-for-outlook-2013/55ae6703-8ebd-4bf2-b702-989ff7269a80
but it did not help at all.
What am I missing here? I never tried adding the account to my Mac before enabling two factor authentication, so I can't really say if that is the culprit.
