Classic Outlook (2016, 2019, 2021) using manual setup
- Open Control Panel, set View by to small icons and click Mail.
- Click Show Profiles, then Add. Give the profile a name and click OK.
- Choose Manual setup or additional server types, then Next.
- Choose POP or IMAP (Internet E-mail on some versions), then Next.
- Fill in your name and email address, set Account Type to IMAP, and enter the servers and login details below.
- Click More Settings. On the Outgoing Server tab, tick My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and choose Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
- On the Advanced tab, set the ports and encryption as below.
- Click OK, then Next. Outlook sends a test message to check everything works.
Settings to enter
- Incoming server (IMAP):
imap.us.appsuite.cloud, port 993, SSL/TLS - Outgoing server (SMTP):
smtp.us.appsuite.cloud, port 587 with STARTTLS (or 465 with SSL/TLS) - Username: your full email address
- Password: your mailbox password
Give Outlook up to 15 minutes to download your existing email before deciding something's wrong. Large mailboxes can take longer.
Problems?
- Keeps asking for your password: check that the username is your full email address and the password is correct. Try logging in to webmail to confirm it.
- Can receive but not send: make sure outgoing server authentication is ticked and the SMTP port matches the encryption type.
