Victor, I checked your MX records and did not see a server entry under Sympatico.ca that would correspond to the Office 365 service. Did you update your MX records in your DNS zone?

Well, it seems like sympatico.ca is not Victor's domain:

Oh, right :). I didn't pay enough attention.
Checking he autodiscover record, this being the one that really matters when creating an Outlook profile, I can see that it points to webmail.owm.bell.net, so he probably doesn't use Office 365 for email, but Bell, although he said that "I've just purchased Office 365". In this case, he probably can't use another protocol but POP or IMAP (preferably)
Considering all this, Victor DiCarlo, why don't you use Office 365 for email? Is there something that Bell offers and Office 365 doesn't?
