A common task when first getting into Outlook 2016 is setting up an account. Once the account is created and added you will be able to manage your emails using the Outlook 2016 email client.
If you are unable to complete the automatic installation, then you have the option of using the Manual setup. Follow the steps below to walk through setting up an account manually.
Before you begin the manual setup, make sure you are aware of the email settings that you will be using. To find these settings, please see How to find your email settings. You will find the settings for both POP3 and IMAP protocols as well as the secure and non-secure port settings. Make sure that you try the both the secure and non-secure settings if you have problems connecting to the server.
Click on Advanced to change the settings for your ports and the email server name if you are going to use the secure settings. To find the secure settings, please see How to Find Your Email Settings.
Server timeouts | This setting is used to allow for bad connections between server and client. If your connection is very slow and often interrupted, then set the timeouts to long. If you're not sure, then leaving this setting at its default setting. | |
---|---|---|
Folders- Root folder path | This path is generally sets the INBOX as the top folder. If you need to change it you can put in a different name here. If you don't know the setting, then do NOT make a change. Consult with your email host's technical support for more information. | |
Sent items | Allows to save copies of sent emails | |
Deleted items | Mark items for deletion, but do not move them automatically. Items marked for deletion only get deleted when you purge the deleted items. Purge items when switching folders while online. This is set by default. This option removes the items automatically when switching to another folder while online. |
At this point Outlook will verify the account. Once the account has been verified, you will be able to see that the email account has been setup. For information on setting up other versions of Outlook, please see this page.
