I have an outlook.com address (or rather live.fi since Microsoft keeps changing its name every year) but apparently it only allows ActiveSync syncing and that's not supported on my desktop Mac, only Microsoft's own devices and mobile devices. I can't get my hands on a regular Exchange account since I suppose they are only for corporations.

Has anyone tried an outlook.com Exchange account anyway? Googles services were the only ones that are supposed to work on any platform ever until they dropped ActiveSync support.
