  1. Keep Passwords On Computer
None of my OpenOffice documents that are saved with password protection will open. I get the 'Password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened.' error. Yes, I am sure I'm using the correct password(s). This happened to me about a month ago - there happened to be an OpenOffice update available at the time - I updated and the problem went away. But it's back. And there's no update to save me this time. Has this happened to anyone else? All of these documents originated in OpenOffice. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.2.

Hi everyone it seems like a lot of people have had this issue am I right?

Well I solved it so I wanted to share what worked for me: to summarize set it up as an 'other' account and in IMAP host enter 'outlook.office365.com' and in SMTP enter 'smtp.office365.com'


I've added steps below on how do it for those that need need further instruction.


Delete the mail account from your phone

  • Go back into your settings and add account
  • Add it as 'other', then click 'add mail account'
  • Enter in your name email, password, and whatever nickname you'd like to give it
  • under IMAP incoming mail server for host name 'outlook.office365.com' then of course your email and password
  • under outgoing mail servers 'smtp.office365.com', I left the username and password there blank since it says optional
  • Save and done!


This worked for me, hope this helps 🙂
