I have been using an LG G3 for a few months now, with Lollipop. My screen got screwed up, bleeding colors, so I got a new phone. The replacement uses Marshmallow. I have an Outlook account that synced perfectly on Lollipop, but not on Marshmallow. I have tried every commonly used solution that I can find on various forums. Previously, I was able to add my Outlook account in as a Microsoft Exchange account even though it isn't technically a corporate account, but the same settings won't work on Marshmallow...no settings seem to work. I *really* want my Outlook calendar on my phone's default calendar and widget, since I like that widget way over all other calendars, and I have used Hotmail for years, so all the recurring events are on that calendar, but I can't get my Outlook into the phone in a way that the calendar recognizes it; it worked fine on Lollipop. I also can't seem to import the settings for the default email app, which I like because it's the only client that shows me a live notification on the homescreen icon. I like to open my homescreen and see how many of what kind of messages I have as well as the weather and calendar all at a glance. Lollipop let me do that, but Marshmallow wont. I have managed to get my Outlook contacts into my phone contacts. I only have a Gmail account because Android requires it. I like Google search and maps, and that's about it.

Could be the whatever it is stock LG email is having difficulties. Have you tried using the official Microsoft Outlook app for Android instead?

Yes. It doesn't do what I need it too. At all.
I found this for email. It hasn't synced my calendar, but it gave me full functionality on the default email app that shows me when I have emails waiting, AND it syncs all folders.

They've done a half baked job of it?
I think Microsoft expects users to be only using Windows with their products, like Outlook, and that's what they fully support. Can be similar with Apple as well.
