Hi,
Why is it always such a hassle if an outlook account setting needs to be changed?
I want to change the outgoing- and incoming mail server addresses from, let's say, mail.domain01.com to mail.domain02.com.
So I click "repair", select manual repair, click "repair" again, change the mail server addresses from mail.domain01.com to mail.domain02.com, click "Next" and I get "Account successfully repaired" I click "Done"
But, since it's outlook and that action didn't take half a day and it didn't involve any googling I get suspicious...
So I check the settings I just changed, only to find that this seemingly easy change will probably take half a day after all.
Both server addresses had changed back to mail.domain01.com.
Anyone know which reg key to change this time?
Cheers,
Robert.

That's probably just autodiscover kicking in, have you updated the corresponding settings on the server side?

I think I figured it out.
I created the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\setup DWORD: DisableOffice365SimplifiedAccountCreation Value: 1
This brings back the normal email account settings form and changes made in this form seem to stick!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Vasil!
