Hi,
Firsty apologies if this topic has been already covered. I have recently setup Aquamail on my Sansung Galaxy S3 and can view my email in the inbox however I cannot see any of my emails in the sub folders which I set up through the web account. I am with outlook.com so any help on how I can get to see my folders, or even if when someone sends an email which directed to the folder, I can see it come through on my phone.
Thanks.

MS does not support IMAP for outlook.com accounts, even though they promised it over a year ago (hey, and I thought I was too slow).

Some mail apps (that have the necessary licenses from MS) can use ActiveSync with outlook.com, mine is not one of them.
I'll be adding support for MS's other, license-free mail protocol, EWS, and hope it works with outlook.com and office 365... But I haven't started on that yet, so it won't be ready for a while.

Maybe you won't have to bother with EWS as Microsoft has finally delivered on its promise!
IMAP access to Outlook.com now works just fine in AquaMail using these settings:
Incoming IMAP
Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Server port: 993
Encryption: SSL
Outgoing SMTP
Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Server port: 587
Encryption: TLS

Now I don't know if this also works with office 365.

Best news of this summer for me. Excellent.
I'm going to try it out now.

Ok, it seems like it *mostly* works, but I found an interesting bug right away.
The server could not return content for one particular message (nothing unusual about it, very short, plain text, no attachments). My app's workaround code kicked in when this happened, and it all worked out in the end, but it made me wonder if there are any more surprises.
I'm going to contact MS support about it and give it a bit more time before changing the app's preset for Hotmail.
Still great news though.
