Here's a step-by-step guide to set up Outlook 365 mail on the Windows 10 Mail app:
Prerequisites:
- You have a Microsoft account (Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Live.com) or an Office 365 subscription.
- You have Windows 10 installed on your device.
- You have the Windows 10 Mail app installed (it comes pre-installed on Windows 10 devices).
Setup Outlook 365 mail on Windows 10 Mail app:
- Open the Windows 10 Mail app. You can find it in the Start menu or search for it in the search bar.
- Click on the "Add account" button at the top right corner of the Mail app window.
- Select "Outlook.com" from the list of available accounts.
- Enter your Outlook 365 email address and password. You can also use your Microsoft account credentials if you have one.
- Click "Next" to proceed.
- The Mail app will try to detect your account settings. If it's successful, you'll see a confirmation message. If not, you can manually configure the settings.
- If prompted, select the type of account you want to set up: "Exchange" or "IMAP". For Outlook 365, select "Exchange".
- Enter the following settings:
- Server: outlook.office365.com
- Username: your Outlook 365 email address
- Password: your Outlook 365 password
- Port: 443 (for SSL/TLS)
- Click "Next" to save the settings.
- The Mail app will synchronize your Outlook 365 account. This may take a few minutes.
- Once the synchronization is complete, you'll see your Outlook 365 email account listed in the Mail app.
Tips and Variations:
- If you're using a company-managed Outlook 365 account, you may need to contact your IT administrator for specific setup instructions.
- If you're using a custom domain (e.g., yourcompany.com) with Outlook 365, you may need to use a different server address (e.g., outlook.yourcompany.com).
- You can also set up Outlook 365 on the Windows 10 Mail app using the "Manual setup" option. This requires more technical expertise, but allows for more customization.
That's it! You should now be able to access your Outlook 365 email account using the Windows 10 Mail app.
