Additional settings

• If your mail server requires authentication, you may need to enter additional settings, such as:
  • Authentication method: Select "Basic Authentication" or "OAuth 2.0" depending on your mail server settings.
  • Port numbers: Enter the port numbers for incoming and outgoing mail servers (e.g. 993 for IMAP and 587 for SMTP).
• If you're using a secure connection (SSL/TLS), make sure to select the correct encryption method (e.g. TLS 1.2).

Troubleshooting tips

• If you're having trouble connecting to your mail server, check your mail server settings and ensure that the incoming and outgoing mail servers are correct.
• If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, ensure that it's not blocking the connection to your mail server.
• If you're still having trouble, try resetting your Outlook settings or seeking assistance from your mail server administrator.
