Yes outlook.com is blocked, too.

I created an account for you. This was really troublesome because phpBB
does not have a functionality for that and after I created an account
on the normal way, not even the admin is allowed to change the email
address to one that is blocked. Weird.

You should have received an activation email now. Please use the "I
forgot my password" function to reset the password.

Apologies for all this trouble.

Best,
-Michael
