Visual studio error connecting exchange email account


About two months ago I was given the task of making a outlook.com add-in. The basics worked perfectly but somthing with higher priorety came along. So the project layed still fit the last two months.

I wanted to go on with the project yesterday and it didn't work anymore. The problem comes whem I go to start the project in visual studio and, need to sign in to my office account. If I sign in it will load for a while and then an error pops up. It says:

An error occurred while connecting to the server: 

   The request failed. Unable to connect to the remote server

How is this possible since i didn't change anything in the last two months? And how can I fix the problem?

I followed this tutorial from microsoft it self.

Edit:

Here are some screenschots:

Start

This is inside my Visual Studio, here I start my add-in. The following pop-up shows up. I have double checked my credentials. Popup

If i click on connect it will load for a while and following error shows up: Error

Hopes this gives some more information about what is going on.
