    Hello @John Cole

    Welcome to Q&A forum! 

    To ensure we're aligned, may I confirm the following: 

    1. Are you using a personal account or a business account ? 
    2. Are you encountering any issues while adding your IMAP account to the new Outlook
    3. Have you tried adding your IMAP account in Classic Outlook or the Outlook Web platform
    4. Are you seeing any error messages during the setup process?  (If possible, please share a screenshot or the exact error message you received.) 

    I look forward to hearing from you. I'm always here to support you with any further assistance. 

    Additionally, I’ve found some related articles that may help with this issue. Please take a look and see if they address your needs:
