To configure your Outlook for Mac Email please follow these steps:

  1. Open Mail, and then do one of the following:

  4. In the Full Name box, enter the name you want to display to people you send e-mail to.
  5. In the Email Address box, enter your primary e-mail address.
  6. In the Password box, enter the password for your Outlook Web App account, and then click Continue.
  7. In the Incoming Mail Server window, enter the following:
  8. Next to Account Type, select POP or IMAP. IMAP supports more features.
  9. In the Description box, enter a name that will remind you what this e-mail account is for.
  10. In the Incoming Mail Server box, enter the IMAP4 or POP3 server name, i.e. mail.mydomain.com (where mydomain.com is your domain name)
  11. In the User Name box, enter your primary e-mail address.
  12. In the Password box, enter the password for e-mail account if it's not already shown in that field.
  13. Click Continue. Mail will test your connection to the incoming server using default settings.
  14. In the Outgoing Mail Server window, do the following:
  15. In the Description box, enter the name for this mail server, for example, "Outlook sending server".
  16. In the Outgoing Mail Server box, enter the SMTP server name, i.e. smtp.mydomain.com (where mydomain.com is your domain name)
  17. Make sure the Use only this server check box is selected.
  18. Select the Use Authentication check box. Your user name and the password you entered for the incoming server will appear in the User Name and Password text boxes. These values are the same for the outgoing server. Click Continue.
  19. Click Continue. Mail will test your connection to the outgoing mail server using default settings.
