To get mail from Outlook to a server, you'll need to set up your Outlook account to sync with the server. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Method 1: Set up Outlook to sync with a POP3 or IMAP server

1. Open Outlook and go to File > Account Settings (in Outlook 2010 and earlier) or File > Manage Accounts (in Outlook 2013 and later).
2. Click Add Account and select Manual setup or additional server types.
3. Choose POP or IMAP and click Next.
4. Enter the following information:
   • User Information:
     • Your Name: Your name as you want it to appear on outgoing emails.
     • Email Address: Your email address.
   • Server Information:
     • Incoming mail server (POP3): The POP3 server address (e.g., pop.gmail.com for Gmail).
     • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): The SMTP server address (e.g., smtp.gmail.com for Gmail).
     • User Name: Your email address.
     • Password: Your email account password.
5. Click Next and then Finish.

Method 2: Set up Outlook to sync with an Exchange server

1. Open Outlook and go to File > Account Settings (in Outlook 2010 and earlier) or File > Manage Accounts (in Outlook 2013 and later).
2. Click Add Account and select Exchange.
3. Enter the following information:
   • User Information:
     • User Name: Your email address.
     • Password: Your email account password.
   • Server Information:
     • Server: The Exchange server address (e.g., exchange.example.com).
     • Domain: The domain name (e.g., example.com).
4. Click Next and then Finish.

Additional settings

• POP3 vs. IMAP: POP3 downloads emails from the server and stores them locally on your device. IMAP, on the other hand, synchronizes your emails between the server and your device, so you can access them from multiple devices.
• SSL/TLS encryption: Make sure to enable SSL/TLS encryption to secure your email connection.
• Port numbers: The default port numbers for POP3 and IMAP are 110 and 143, respectively. You may need to use different port numbers depending on your server configuration.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up Outlook to sync with your email server and receive mail.
