How to setup Hotmail Address in Outlook Classic 2024 LTSC NOT as an Exchange Account?

I thought I would ask here for help because I have an infuriating issue with Outlook Classic 2024 LTSC. I use multiple Email Addresses for various aspects of my life, among these an old Hotmail address I used for XBOX Live back in the day and also for gaming sites and gaming newsletters. Now I would like this Email Address within Outlook however as soon as I sign into the "Microsoft Account" of that Hotmail Address it works fine though now my entire Office Suite is logged into this Email.

 

Word, Excel, Powerpoint, all are now linked and connected to this one email and as soon as I log out of it, let's say in Word, Outlook can't sync emails for the account anymore which feels very backwards. I then tried to manually setup said Hotmail account in Outlook however since Microsoft seemingly enforces OAuth2 now which is only supported through their all-encompassing Microsoft Login it always fails with "Invalid Password" even though I made sure the SMTP etc. settings are correct.

Is there any way to solve this within Outlook or am I forced to use an alternative client like Thunderbird? I far prefer the UI of Outlook Classic and would like to have my emails all in one place. If it absolutely must use my Hotmail account via Exchange I can deal with that however is there any way to keep Word, Excel and Powerpoint signed out?

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
