This guide will walk you through the steps to setup your IMAP email account for Microsoft Outlook on your MacBook.

If you do not have any accounts setup yet, skip to step 5

2. Select Preferences from the Outlook menu at the top left.

3. Select Accounts.

4. Select Add Email Account

5. Enter your email address and press Continue

6. Outlook will automatically assume it us using an Exchange mail server, so you must click on Not Exchange.

7. Select IMAP/POP at the bottom.

8. Enter the following information:

  • Type — Select IMAP

Please note the incoming and outgoing mail servers both need to be set, and the host name to be used contains the words “email server” without the “e” characters in the word “server”.

Your email should now be all set up. It may take a few minutes for your emails to sync.
