Instructions

Step 1: Add the account

Once you have launched Outlook on your device, you can add an account in two different ways:

• When you start the application for the first time: A setup wizard will appear and prompt you to enter your email address.

• If you have already added an account: Click Tools in the menu bar at the top of your screen, then Accounts. In the window that pops up, click +, then New account.

Enter your email address, then click Continue. If you are asked to choose a provider, select Exchange. Then fill in the information requested.

Once you have entered this information, click Add account. If the information is correct, Outlook will successfully connect to the account.

To check that the account has been properly configured, you can send a test email.

Step 2: Use the email address

Once you have configured your email address, you can start using it! You can now send and receive emails.
