modern authentication iMac Apple Mail

I deleted my hotmail account, and when I attempt to add it again using the "outlook.com" as indicated in MS support article, there is no choice. The only choice is Microsoft Exchange, is that what I should use?

@lecEdCoif you select "Microsoft Exchange" and then enter your hotmail address it will likely work. I used this approach for my outlook.com email and it worked. It would be nice to have a selection for the microsoft emails, but this is probably more a question for Apple.

@Ian_Lewis Flagging emails will not work with exchange (wrong number of flagged emails, some emails will not be unflagged at all) 

I just flagged 3 emails from desktop Outlook, and then checked via the web UI and see the same 3 flagged emails. Ii then unflagged one via web UI and it was almost immediately unflagged in the Outlook desktop.
