How to sync office 365 rules to Outlook
HidMov you mean when creating new email account in Outlook:
New -> "outlook.com or exchange activeSync compatible settings"
will give MAPI way?
If you are trying to connect to a Office365 mailbox, I would use the "Connect Exchange Server or compatible service" if possible.

Ok here what help says (as I am trying to set up connection out of office)
If Outlook cannot automatically detect your Exchange server, you can enter its address here. To find out the name of your Exchange server, you have to contact the person who gave you the email address, or contact someone in your IT department, for the name of your Exchange server.
nslookup gives me server name mail.domain.com
OK
I'm trying to set new account but outlook complains to close outlook and use control panel -> mail.
OK
I'm trying to set new account using Control Panel -> mail and message pops up "...... Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
I open Outlook again, but error is the same, even it is open and shows connected.....

Hi eXPlosion_
Just to confirm - you are connecting to a Office 365 mailbox? It should be able to find your mailbox with just your email provided the auto discover records are set up in 365.
