[ubuntu-uk] Problem with Mail set up in Ubuntu 13.10

[John Oliver]

Try using m.outlook.com as the server name, works for me certainly for 
IMAP and SMTP. I found that buried in a help and support article on the 
Microsoft website a few months ago and it's working right now on 
Thunderbird, Ubuntu 13.10. For some bizarre reason unbeknown to everyone 
the settings given in OWA simply don't work.
