OUTLOOK SETTING UP NEW ACCOUNT WINDOW LOOKS DIFFERENT "USER NAME" AND "PASSWORD" BOXES MISSING
Question
-
I have MS Outlook 2016 but unfortunately for some weird reason when I want to set up an IMAP account the new design does not have "User Name" and "Password" boxes (see image below). The thing is that in my other computer I also have MS Outlook 2016 but for some reason the IMAP form windows looks as usual (see second image below) and it does have the traditional "User Name" and "Password" at the bottom. I do really need this inputs because in my company the "user name" it is slightly different to the email account, is there a way to pull out the former IMAP confuguration window or another way to input the "User Name" and "Password". Thanks in advance

Hello,
This is a new feature in Outlook 2016 and currently there is no option to revert it to original behavior. However, instead of adding the account directly in Outlook, you may try to open Control Panel > Mail, click Email Accounts button, click New, then you will see the former configuration window you want.
Hope this helps.
