Outlook email incoming mail server
The incoming mail server for Outlook is typically set up as follows:
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3)
- Server name:
pop.outlook.com
- Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)
- Server name:
imap.outlook.com
- Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
Note: If you're using a custom domain (e.g., yourcompany.com
) with Office 365, you may need to use a different incoming mail server. In this case, you can use the following:
- POP3:
pop.yourcompany.com
- IMAP:
imap.yourcompany.com
To set up your incoming mail server in Outlook, follow these steps:
- Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Account Settings" (in Outlook 2016 and later) or "Account" (in Outlook 2013 and earlier).
- Click on "Internet E-mail" (in Outlook 2016 and later) or "Email" (in Outlook 2013 and earlier).
- Enter your email address, password, and other account settings as prompted.
- In the "Incoming mail server" field, enter either
pop.outlook.com
orimap.outlook.com
, depending on your preference. - In the "Port" field, enter either 995 (for POP3) or 993 (for IMAP).
- Click "Next" to continue with the setup process.
Remember to check your email account settings and server information with your email provider or IT administrator if you're unsure about the correct settings for your account.
