Hello,
After clicking the Office 365 icon on my Windows Phone 8, and logging in with my hotmail email address, I am unable to open Office 365. I click on the Office 365 tile then click Office 365, it then goes to a setup screen again, click setup, and asks for email and password again.
Thanks in advance
Also it then set's up another hotmail account (Hotmail 2) when I login .
Hi Brent,
In regard to your description, I understand the issue you encountered with the Windows Phone device.
I’d like to clarify that could you login to the portal of Office 365 and use the Outlook Web App normally now?
About the account you used to login to Office 365, it should be an Office 365 account rather than a Hotmail account.
Currently please try the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Login to the Office 365 portal and check whether you have the related service license. 2. Try with another user account on the Windows Phone device.
Thanks, Kevin Cui

Kevin,
I have followed your recommended steps and simply cannot connect my WIndows Phone 8 to Office 365.
Hi Carmien,
After you refer to the information provided in this thread, if the issue from your side still persists, I’d like to suggest you provide the detailed description and screenshots in a new thread. This is because the same symptom issue may be caused by different root causes. A new thread would avoid the confusion and let other users in this forum refer to information clearly as well as effectively. After that, we would have another engineer focusing on the question from your side and this is so the issue can be answered quickly.

I'm not certain how to get screenshots from my Windows Phone 8. But for that matter, even after a phone reset to factory conditions and running through this as the first thing I do on the phone I cannot connect to office 365 on my Windows Phone 8.
I do not get a message telling me why this is.
I am a bit concerned at starting a new thread. The fact remains that the original question for this thread is not answered. And no troubleshooting steps above and beyond checking what I know to be true (an active subscription) has been offered.
I'm going to post another thread - this thread is going to ask if anyone has successfully connected a WP8 device to Office 365. Once I can see that this has been proven by other users I'll ask them what their log in experience was like.
EDIT: Why was this question marked as answered when it clearly HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED???
As Kevin has mentioned, I suggest you create a new dedicate thread in order to solve the issue more effectively. After posting the problem in the new thread, our support engineers could focus on your questions and provide more specific solutions in the new thread.
In addition, you can decide whether the answers are verified or not by yourself in your own thread.
Thanks, Maggie Li
