I tried changing by outlook.com account and it made no difference.

This happened to me when I didn't have a SIM card in my phone. Turned out it is caused by the time being wrong on the phone, as the phone was not able to get the correct time off the mobile phone network.

  1. Go to Settings → date+time
  2. Switch Set Automatically to off
  3. Enter the correct date and time

Go back and try syncing with your Microsoft account again.
