Rather bafflingly, an Outlook.com account works, but the institution supplied equivalent, an Office 365 account does not. So users are faced with an irritating situation where they have to maintain a separate set of credentials for these couple of services. Currently the Email account that you used is not supported with Office 365 outlook connection, if you would like to use Office 365 outlook connection, please try to apply an Office 365 free trial. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, with a Microsoft Account login which you would have to had associated with an E-mail address and password that's actively working when you setup 1 or more of your computers, this allows access to your computer as the Local Login account does as just described, but in ADDITION, you would then have complete access to the Microsoft Universe, primarily their App Store to purchase or download media content in the Microsoft Apps Store such as music, movies,.
I entered an IMAP email into my Outlook (it is not the only email account I have). I then realized, I did not want it in my account so I went to Tools/Account Settings/Email Tab and deleted the file. I rebooted the computer and then re-opened outlook. It is still showing up in the left hand side of my accounts. Outlook is taking significantly longer to boot, and when I try to delete the Data File in Tools/Account Settings, it tells me that the data file is associated with an email account and to remove it on the Email tab, but there is no email account for it listed on the email tab.
I also opened the files where my psts are held and deleted the account there, but each time it opens outlook, it recreates that account.
Any thoughts on how to delete the email account once and for all?

Right click on in in outlook and choose 'Close ...' from the resulting context menu. Then Delete the file. If that does not work go into the 'Mail' control panel, click Show Profiles, and delete and recreate your profile.
