Windows 10: Control Panel > Mail Microsoft Outlook 2016 > Email Accounts Does Nothing

We have a user that's receiving a script error when opening Outlook stating 'Class not registered'. Normally, creating a new Outlook Profile in the Control Panel resolves the issue. I cannot however, create a new profile as nothing seems to happen. I'm trying to re-add an email account, but when I go to create a new Outlook profile, the prompt to enter the email address does not populate. Clicking the E-mail Accounts tab does not do anything. I can get as far as viewing the Outlook profiles, but nothing else. Any assistance would be appreciated!Thank you,Korey

How to add a Microsoft email account to Outlook 2016

I saw an old post describing the steps to add an msn.com email account to Microsoft Outlook. It had to be done manually selecting the first option and using blu404.m.hotmail as the server. If I try to do the same, however, I get an error message saying that the server can't be reached.

How can I add a Microsoft email account (hotmail/outlook) to desktop Outlook? I can use this email account in Outlook Live, (it shows Outlook Mail in the upper left corner of my emails), but I can't add it to Outlook 2016 from Office Professional. I was able to add an @att.net email account, but I don't know what to do for a Microsoft account.

If I try to add it without any manual steps I get an error message saying (more or less): "an encrypted email did not work, try and unencrypted email", but that does not work either. Clearly, some manual configuration is needed: please guide me along the required steps. In case it matters, my password is 8 characters long.

 

Configuring additional Contacts accounts in Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 Pro

In Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 Pro, I can add a Contacts Folder?/Address Book? by undertaking the following steps:

1. Go to Start->Control Panel->Mail(32-bit)
   
2. Select 'Show Profiles...' and double-click the correct profile for my system
   
3. Select 'E-mail Accounts...'
   
4. Under the 'E-mail' tab, select 'New...'
   
5. Make sure that 'E-mail Account' is selected and hit 'Next >'
   
6. Fill in the name, email address, and password for the given account and hit 'Next >'.
   

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to configure the same profile in Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 Pro.

Any thoughts?

 

How to add a Microsoft email account to Outlook 2016

In Outlook 2016 go to Manual setup or additional server types>>Outlook.com or Exchange Active sync compatible service and add your email address as both E-mail and Username. For mail server address add "eas.outlook.com" and enter your password.

Warning!: If you have enabled 2 step verification on your account, your password doesn't work. You have to go to Microsoft Account AppPassword Generator (asks you to sign in, if not already) and copy the generated app password into your password field.
