Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

[AWS]

Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app. It's giving me an error stating the following:

To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator.

I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin

console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege.

 

This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app.

 

How can I solve this?..
