Changing the default Outlook mail account to sync in Actives

Hi guys,
I updated my Outlook and now I get an "Attention required" error every time I sync telling me that this is not the account I set up and please sync with the original profile.
tried half a dozen different settings. I even asked it not to sync with my outlook mail and it still gives me the error.
Any advice?
Thanks

manual email setup

Hi..I have a Blackstone with an email problem Is there a way to turn off outlooks "auto" settings? Im trying to get yahoo mail working (the payed for verison) with pop3. However when I setup the account in outlook it automatically detects yahoo settings for the free version and Im unable to change from IMAP4 to POP...someone suggested manual setup but I cant figure it out. Ive also tried making an account like @yaahhoo.com then going back and changing but it will not allow the original email to be changed. Any help appreciated.
THANKS!!
on the second page of "setup E-Mail" should be the field "try to get e-mail settings automatically from the internet"
try to unmark this and now you can add your settings manually....

[Q] Stock email client doesn't sync with gmail

My stock email client on my Nexus 5 was working perfectly fine with my gmail. I had a break in at my house and my tablet was stolen. I changed all my passwords to prevent any illicit activities. Since I have changed the password, the stock email client has stopped working with gmail. Every time I try to set it up, I get "couldn't finish - Username or password is incorrect" message. I have tried the "edit details" or manual setup options. Checked username and password, select imap as the server, SSL/TLS security type, and port 993. I get the same message when I hit next. I am using the stock ROM that was rooted. The root is lost too, but I will work on that later.
I have cleared the data and cache for the client multiple times but that didn't help either.
I have the gmail app on the phone as well and that works fine but it doesn't give any notifications. I would be OK if the gmail app gave me notifications whenever I got new emails so I wouldn't have to use the stock email client, but I prefer the stock email since that was setup as the default email app.
I have also tried K9 but that doesn't show anything when I launch the app.
Ideally I like to use the stock app but I will be OK with the gmail app becoming the default app. Any thing that I can implement to fix this?

Stock email application & yahoo mail - error signing in when sending emails

I got this error a lot of times, when i try sending emails from yahoo, when i use the stock app. receiving emails works fine, i see emails...but if i try to reply, the email remains in outbox and "error signing in" keeps appearing in notification bar. the password is correct, i tried also not requesting password when sending, but the error appears.
any solution?
except other email apps (i use also yahoo app, but i don't like it, and i don't want to sync non stop) and advices to uses to gmail. i have both for different reasons.
i tried also searching for different imap settings, but i could not find a proper one.
thank you.

Are you talking the email app or the gmail app?
Email app. Which can be customized to see any email account. I set it for yahoo.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I had this as well. Ridiculously annoying. You have to manually change some of the settings. Follow the instructions in this link: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile/set-yahoo-mail-android-mail-sln3696.html?impressions=true. I haven't had any issues since following those directions. Hope this helps.
thank you. it works. i will test it for a while to see if its okay, because the last time i tried some settings it worked for a time and than stopped again.
