1. In your web based msn email page go to Security Settings. 2. Turn off two-step verification permanently or 3. If you want to continue using two-step verification then turn it off then turn it back on. 4. You'll be asked for the type of device (iphone in my case). 5. It will generate a brand new password specifically for use with the iphone's built in Outlook email client 6. On your iphone go to Settings->Mail, contacts, calendars->Add Account->Outlook.com. Use the password generated in step 5. NOTE: You're regular msn password is still used for logging into your msn email when you're doing so via a browser.

my Iphone5 was set up as "Exchange" but is a MSN account. I am told to set up my Iphone6S as "Outlook" since my home computer is Outlook but I cannot get it to take the settings for Outlook. I am receiving e-mail under both Outlook and Exchange but cannot send e-mails...they fail. Any ideas?

I have the IPhone 6 and above email. I tried to enter the settings but it keeps telling me " the imap server pop3.live.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field. I don't know what they are telling me to do. Then if I cancel out the incoming server automatically goes to incoming server: imap-mail.outlook.com. The outgoing mail serves stays with: smtp.live.com. Can you help me? My emails coming and going are slow as molasses. Way slower than my old iPhone 4. Best. Greg
