Outlook 2013 will not let me add accounts

I have several email accounts that (sort of) work under Live Mail.  Since I hate live mail,  I want to set up these accounts under Outlook 2013.  I was able to set up the main account ok, but I cannot get any of the others to work.  I know all of the passwords, etc. The automatic set up does not work.   When trying to set up the accounts manually I get the error message that says the attempt to connect to the server failed.
