How do I get outlook email on my Computer?
If you’re switching to outlook 365 from an older version or if it’s your first time using it could be a bit tricky to navigate through, especially when you’re adding an email which requires a manual setup. Though Microsoft has made the UI very intuitive, here is a step by step guide to help you.
When you install and run Outlook for the first time, you’ll be asked to add an email account. Without an email account, you can’t send or receive any email.

However, once you’ve added your first account, it may not be as easy to remember how to add another.
If it’s a straightforward account (like Gmail), Outlook usually does it automatically. If you’re setting up an IMAP or Microsoft Exchange account, it’s often faster to choose to do it manually.
If you need to configure your account manually, choose the type of account you’re setting up. The most common options include Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, POP, and IMAP.
Use advanced setup to add a POP or IMAP email account in Outlook for Windows
If you need to enter specific values for incoming and outgoing server names, port numbers, or SSL settings, you can use Outlook’s advanced setup option. You can use these instructions to add a POP or IMAP account to Outlook.
- Open Outlook and select File > Add Account.
2. On the next screen, enter your email address, select Advanced options, then check the box for Let me set up my account manually and select Connect.
3. Select your account type. Most of the time when you need to use this option, you’ll select IMAP.
4. The Account settings screen should be pre-populated with most of the account settings you need. However, if you need to look up your settings, see the POP and IMAP account settings topic. Enter your incoming and outgoing server settings and then select Next.
5. Enter your password and then select Connect.
Use advanced setup to add a third-party MAPI email account to Outlook for Windows
If you are using a third-party MAPI provider, download and configure the MAPI email provider application as suggested by provider company.
Open Outlook and select File > Add Account.
On the next screen, enter your email address, select Advanced options, check the box for Let me set up my account manually, and select Connect.
On the Advanced Setup screen, select Other.
On the Other screen, choose the type of server to connect to from the list.
Note: The Other option and your account type listed under it will only appear if you’ve properly installed and configured the MAPI provider.
Click Connect.
The third-party MAPI provider application installed on your machine should launch.
Finalize the account setup by following the MAPI provider’s instructions.
Follow the remaining instructions to configure the account. Depending on the type of email account you’re adding, you may need to specify the incoming and outgoing email server names, port numbers and encryption methods. You can get all these details from your email provider’s website or from technical support. If you are adding an Exchange server to Outlook, you might need to get the details from your IT department or network administrator.
