How To Setup Your Email Using Microsoft Outlook

To add your email account to the latest version of Microsoft Outlook first click on the File menu and then on Account Settings > Account Settings. If you’re using the Mac version, the menu will be in Outlook > Preferences > Accounts.

 

 

To begin, click on New on the new window that opens.

 

 

A new window will appear where you should input your full email address. Click on Advanced options and click on the checkbox for Let me set up my account manually. Then click Connect. On the next step select POP or IMAP depending on the protocol you want to use to connect.

 

 

Now you need to fill in the appropriate information about your email account. Here’s a brief explanation of the different fields and what you should add in them:

• Incoming mail section
  • Server: its mail.yourdomainname.com
  • (example mail.yourdomainname);
  • Port: if you chose IMAP – use 993, if you chose POP3 – use 995;
  • Encryption method: SSL/TLS;
  • Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) – leave unchecked;

• Outgoing mail section
  • Server: its mail.yourdomainname.com;
  • Port: use 465;
  • Encryption method: SSL/TLS;
  • Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) – leave unchecked;

You can also find the exact settings to use with each of your mail accounts with your Outlook in your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab.

 

 

Click Next and input the password for your email address. After that click Connect.
