  5. Click "Generate" to create the password.

Step 2: Set up Outlook 2015

  1. Open Outlook 2015 and go to "File" > "Account Settings" > "Account Settings".
  2. Click on "New" to add a new email account.
  3. Select "Manual setup or additional server types" and click "Next".
  4. Select "POP3" and click "Next".
  5. Enter the following settings:
    • Your name: Your name as you want it to appear in the From field.
    • Email address: Your Outlook.com email address.
    • POP3 server: outlook.office365.com
    • Port: 995
    • Username: Your Outlook.com email address.
    • Password: The app password you created in Step 1.
  6. Click "More Settings" and then "Outgoing Server".
  7. Select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and enter the same username and password as above.
  8. Click "OK" to close the "More Settings" window.
  9. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup.

Step 3: Verify the setup

  1. Go to the "File" menu and select "Info" > "Account Settings" > "Account Settings".
  2. Click on the "Outlook.com" account and verify that it's set up correctly.

That's it! You should now be able to access your Hotmail (Outlook.com) email account using POP3 in Outlook 2015.
