Adding Your Email Account To MS Outlook

You may have never bothered to set up an email client application in your computer. But do you know that by setting up an email client, you will be able to access your mail messages both offline and online? An email client downloads all the mails and messages in your inbox and stores it in your system hard drive, which you can easily access any time, even when there is no active internet connection.

How to setup email in Outlook

If you have the MS Office suite in your system, then you will already have MS Outlook installed and ready to use. All you have to do is to setup email in Outlook and start accessing your account from the email client, instead of using a web browser as you normally do.

Microsoft has designed a user-friendly wizard for their MS Outlook application to make the setup process simpler. You are required to fill in the fields with proper information to configure your email account with Outlook. Just enter your display name, full email address, account name and password in the designated text fields and you are good to go.

However, for setting up some of the third party email accounts, you may have to use the manual setup mode. This means that you will have to enter all the details for establishing the connection manually, such as the incoming and outgoing server addresses, port numbers, etc.

In the automatic mode, Outlook client downloads such details from the mail server automatically. But here, you will have to collect relevant data from your internet service provider beforehand. Select the Manual account setup option in the first and enter the server address details as collected from your ISP.

If you have to add even more details than the options provided there, especially when you have to add security settings, click on the More Settings button. This will launch a separate wizard for configuring the other settings needed with your email account. After you have finished entering all these details, go back to Outlook account setup wizard and click on the Finish button to complete the account setup.

When done, your email client application will be ready to use, and you can start accessing the configured email account instantly. For any further help with the procedure, contact our tech support team right away.
