Outlook.com is gone, because it never worked

Chat Mail Sync offered Outlook.com as a destination and said so in the app, the docs, the website and every store listing. That claim was false for the entire 2.x line.

Microsoft switched basic authentication off for personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live and MSN mailboxes on 16 September 2024; work and school Microsoft 365 lost it earlier. They all accept OAuth2 only for IMAP now, and this app does no OAuth at all — the Google sign-in that used to be here was removed in 2.0.0. Choosing Outlook produced a login failure that no app password could fix, and the old error message sent the user to an administrator who has no setting that would help.

What changed

  • Outlook.com removed from the provider list on Windows and Android.
  • If you had Outlook saved, your settings now read as Custom, with the host you already had left in place and the field unlocked — nothing is swapped for another provider's server behind your back. It still will not connect; nothing can make it connect. Use a mailbox that still issues an app password.
  • A Microsoft mailbox now fails honestly. The connection test says the mailbox cannot be used with this app and names the ones that can, instead of suggesting an administrator can fix it. Matching is on whole domain names, so a lookalike host does not trigger it.
  • Every claim corrected — in-app Help & FAQ, in-app privacy text, README, user guide, website, and the store listings.

Working destinations

Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Fastmail, or any IMAP server that issues an app password.
