How do I set up my email account?

Asked 5 months ago
Setting up an email account in Microsoft Outlook can vary slightly depending on whether you are using the desktop application or the web version. For the desktop application, first, open Outlook and navigate to the File menu at the top left corner. From there, select the Account Settings option, then click on Account Settings again in the dropdown. Choose New to add a new account. You will be prompted to enter your email address. Outlook will typically try to automatically configure the account settings. If successful, you will just need to enter your password. If it does not succeed, you may have to select the Manual setup option and enter details such as the server addresses, port numbers, and security settings provided by your email service. For Outlook on the web, go to outlook.com and log in. If you are adding a new account, find the settings icon usually located in the upper right corner, click on it, and then navigate to Mail > Accounts. Look for an option to add an account and follow the prompts to enter your email address and password. For more specific complications or requirements, it may be helpful to look at the latest documentation on the current web page.
