I recently installed the new Windows 8 CP in my laptop. When I was configuring my email with outlook 2010. It doesn’t get configure and gives me an error. My account gets configured with outlook 2010 in Windows xp, 7 and even in win 8 Developer preview. I have this issue in Win 8 CP. Does anyone have solution for this?
I am not understanding that how this problem could be related in the CP. I think that you might be forgetting to configure the properties of the account in SMTP requirements of your ISP/email provider. Check for the specifications and sometimes they are specific in involving particular ports or check boxes. Try POP or IMAP t configure your email account. Also try to configure another email account to check whether the problem is with the mail account or not.
Hi,I am also having the same problem cant configure with outlook in Win 8. First I thought that the problem must be with the MS outlook 2010 then I even tried Office 2007 and nothing happen same error. I tried outlook 2010 in Win 7 everything was working properly. I followed all the steps form the Win 7 that I use to configure my email account and tried exactly same to configure in Win 8 but nothing worked. It seems that Win 8 is not supporting the outlook as email client. Then I tried another email client thunderbird and it works fine with no issues.
I think that you may not have configured your email account properly. That can be reason for not working the outlook in Win 8. Here are the steps to configure your email account in outlook.

- To configure the new email account manually

- Select Internet E-mail, and click next.
