ZDNet has a good write up here, the relevant parts being:

No IMAP:

According to Microsoft’s documentation, IMAP is not supported.

Yes Active Sync:

For Outlook 2013, Exchange ActiveSync support is built in. Just enter the email address and password and it should configure automatically. For Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2003, you still need to use the free Outlook Hotmail Connector add-in.

If you are after server details, this article suggests: m.hotmail.com or m.outlook.com - I've also seen snt-m.hotmail.com suggested.

And failing all else, there is POP:

Use of POP/SMTP is discouraged for @outlook.com addresses, but it will work if you set the servers to pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com, respectively. Note that you must sign in to the SMTP server to send mail.
