Davmail comes with some example configurations, one of them for Exchange
(aka Outlook).  Specifically, for Outlook, the "davmail.properties"
config file will have this entry:

davmail.url=https://outlook.office365.com/ews/exchange.asmx

Then, in my .gnus.e file, I have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq mail-sources (list 
                    (list 'pop
                          :server "localhost"
                          :user "ucecesf@ucl.ac.uk"
                          :port 1110)
                    ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which tells gnus to access the POP server at port 1110 which is where
davmail uses to serve the emails it gets from Outlook.  

I use (list ...) for reasons not related to Outlook; the above is just
one part of my configuration.

If you want IMAP, the port number will be different and you will
probably wish to define an entry in gnus-secondary-select-methods
instead of mail-sources (but I do not have an example for this
unfortunately).  I prefer POP so that I can manage the emails myself.  I
am not concerned with sharing an IMAP server over multiple devices.

HTH,
eric
