I am having no luck setting up Outlook 365. I get a lot of emails so want to use POP.
I think the problem is that there is nowhere to enter Username in Outlook 365. I will show the steps I use and hopefully someone will tell me where I've gone wrong.
Start here, click New...
Click on "Connect" and wait a bit.
Select POP
Then using the info on https://www.plus.net/help/email-guides/how-to-set-up-plusnet-email/
I have tried incoming port 110 and outgoing port 25 and other security options too.
Enter the password that works in webmail
Click on Connect
Wait a bit then
So, what am I doing wrong?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Try enabling SSL/TLS on the incoming mail port.

also you might need to click the 'not you' and change the username in the POP settings
It should be just <accountname> for the primary mailbox or <accountname>+<mailboxname> for secondary mailboxes

Thank you for your answer, however clicking 'not you' goes back to the 'Email address' box. If you don't enter something it thinks is valid, the 'Connect' button is greyed-out. I have tried <accountname>@plus.net which is accepted here but fails as before.
There must be a way to enter <accountname> somewhere!

Thank you for your answer.
I tried this
which was followed by this
which allowed me to edit the Username.
This ended with a different error
