Outlook 365 Quick Mail Account Setup Defaultuing to POP3

I have moticed recently that the default setup in Outlook is to create a POP3 account, it was always IMAP. Is this a setting in Outlook or a feature of the mail server and the information Outlook retrieves when setting up the mail account?

    mcfc4heatonsI came across this for a client using Outlook 365/Outlook.com email. I'm not sure what caused it but the only way I could add the account with Exchange was by creating an empty profile then open Outlook and add the account from there.
