But watch yourself! As usual, Microsoft has taken a straightforward item like adding an email account and made it LESS intuitive. It seems that the only answer is to delete the account from Outlook 365 and re-add it. There is no local Exchange or AD involved here.) If they want out of the desktop business (which is what it looks like) then they should just grow a pair and tell end users to f**k off instead of putting us through this.Īll of my email accounts (except one for Google and one account) are hosted at Rackspace. Which is even more meaningless since I didn't change anything. And clicking the "Next" button only shows this. Pressing the "Reset Mail Settings" button does nothing that you can see.

There is no password field! There is no way to change the password for the account! When I went into Outlook to update the password, this is the screen that Microsoft has forced upon us now. And this is what happened when I tried to change the password in Outlook 365 to be able to access that account again.) I made that password change through Rackspace's control panel.

In this instance, I had to change the password for one of the Rackspace hosted IMAP accounts because of what Rackspace says is a bug in Outlook.

Some are Exchange accounts hosted at Rackspace and others are IMAP accounts hosted at Rackspace. I connect Outlook 365 (Outlook 2016 inside of Office 365) to several email accounts. There is no domain, no AD controller and there are no local email servers. (For the sake of clarity: I am running Office 365 on a desktop and a laptop. So I had an issue with Outlook 365 again, which made it necc to change a password for one of my email accounts.
