Outlook’s Auto Account Setup will indeed first try to configure your web mail account as an IMAP account. How can I convert my account from IMAP back to POP3? I've tried this for a while, but due to some features not being available for IMAP accounts and my small on-line mailbox, I'd much rather have it configured as a POP3 account again.
After reinstalling my computer and reconfiguring Outlook, my account got configured automatically as an IMAP account.
