- Choose "POP or IMAP" and click "Next".
- Enter the following settings:
- Account type: POP3
- Incoming mail server: pop.outlook.com
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.outlook.com
- User name: Your Outlook.com email address
- Password: Your Outlook.com email password
- Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup process.
Step 3: Configure your email client (optional)
If you want to set up your email account on a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Outlook on your device.
- Click on "File" > "Add Account" > "Manual setup or additional server types".
- Select "POP or IMAP" and click "Next".
- Enter the same settings as in Step 2:
- Account type: POP3

- Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.outlook.com
- User name: Your Outlook.com email address
- Password: Your Outlook.com email password
- Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup process.
Troubleshooting tips:
- If you're having trouble setting up your email account, try checking your internet connection and ensuring that your email address and password are correct.
- If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, ensure that it's not blocking your email connection.
- If you're still having issues, try resetting your email account password or contacting Microsoft support for assistance.
That's it! Your Microsoft Outlook email account should now be set up and ready to use.
