To add an POP3 or IMAP account to Outlook 2016, follow these simple steps:
1. Open Outlook and on the top left corner click on FILE
2. On the Info section select Account Settings -> Account Settings
3. On the Account Settings window, click on New

Do not select the option that says "Require logon using SPA".
7. Enter the password for your email and click on Connect
You're done!
