+1  for some help on this one please

 

Windows 8, Outlook 2013 and BT Business Email Lite (powered by Office 365)

 

Autodiscover doesn't work. Unable to connect on an encrypted connection, unable to connect unencrypted.

 

Have tried manual setup, using Exchange and POP3 with various settings from various BT and Microsoft articles.

 

I've checked the CNAME settings for Autodiscover in the domain setup. All OK.

 

I've run the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer which is right at the limit of my ability and has delivered some results I don't really know how to use. Posted an extract below. 

 

Grateful for any help or suggestions.  Given this is all MS stuff it ought to be simple 😞

 Testing TCP port 443 on host autodiscover.xxxxxxxxxx to ensure it's listening and open.
