12:17:27 ERROR: To support Exchange Online mailbox, Outlook 2013 SP1 is required and the version must be equal or greater than 15.0.5041.1001!:

Outlook MAPI DLL path has the incorrect information, Changing the registry entries for MAPI resolved this.

Looking in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook\” the “DllPathEx” points to a MSMAPI32.dll located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\VFS\ProgramFilesCommonX86\system\msmapi\1033\msmapi32.dll”, checking this DLL details are version 15.0.4795.1000, so it appears that even though we upgraded Outlook, the MAPI version remains as original.

Changed the “DllPathEx” to point to “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\OLMAPI32.DLL”, resolved the issue.
