    Hi. I'm Brian and I'll try to help.

    With what iOS app are you trying to access your MSN mailbox? Are you using Outlook for iOS, the topic of this forum? Does your address end in msn.com? How did you add the account to your mail app - that is, what steps did you take? Typically, Outlook for iOS will not use IMAP to connect to an MSN/Microsoft account mailbox.
