There is no "Manual setup or additional server types" to be found in  
the set up. Only "I want to set up my account manually" (in german,  
see Screenshot). If you select that you come to the next screen full  
of colorful icons (Exchange, Outlook, Office 365, IMAP, POP), but  
nothing about setting up anything manually. The only way to solve that  
on my side was the way over windows's control panel. Other users  
complained about that fact too. Everything works now as it should.

In my opinion Micorosft makes the set up procedure worse with every  
new version on purpose, so that users switch with their email services  
over to Microsoft's office 365 and outlook.com.
