I live in Outlook, I think most people probably do too, so having recently moved the email for my domain over to something a little more reliable – BPOS – I thought it’d be nice to have access to that inbox through my Outlook, in addition to my Microsoft email. To help with the setup of email the Sign In application can do it all for you the client’s available from the Administration Center or the download site.
This however results in you having a separate profile within Outlook so it’s not quite what I wanted.
This is what you need to do to add an Exchange Online mailbox to an existing Outlook profile in Outlook 2010 (the basic steps are universal):
Done, if you start Outlook you’ll find your new account is available for you
Getting an error:
Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost).
This is indicative of the NTLM auth in Exchange Proxy settings, which is usually changed for connections to premise Exchange 2007 / 2010 mailbox servers. I tried using Basic Auth and could not get name resolution to the BPOS server, so I stick with NTLM and it works (in the settings dialog) but not when launching Outlook to create a new profile. I have tried both a new profile and adding BPOS to an existing Outlook 2010 profile that has an existing Exchange 2010 server connection (which is my goal). With a new/empty profile for BPOS, I get the error above immediately upon launching Outlook. For the profile where I have an existing Exchange 2010, various POP3/IMAP accounts, I add it successfully and the profile launches no problem, but as soon as try to expand the BPOS tree, error pops on unable to open default e-mail folders.
Any suggestions would be awesome! This article/post seems to be replicated around the internet but no mention of my default e-mail folder issue. :(
So are you able to get into BPOS using the Single Signon Tool - which is the only supported way?
Also I've since encountered a problem in that if Outlook goes Offline for any reason with the above in place it's impossible to get back online, so if you're on a laptop you might not want to do this...
Hi, I've found on youtube a video about an Add-on for an easy Oulook configuration. It's called CodeTwo Outlook AutoConfig:

Will it work for Outlook 2010 to configure for Exchange on-line? I want to avoid doing it manually...
Joanna,
Interesting, I've emailed them to ask them. If they come back to me I'll post it here
This worked for me however need to test it out further to confirm. Thanks
I tried this but it is giving me error message "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80070057." Can you help me with this? my email is dgpusa@msn.com.
Thank you
I tried and got the error: "the proxy server you have specified is invalid". I'm running Outlook 2010, BPOS/Exchange Online, and I can't get the Microsoft Online Services Sign In to configure Outlook...
