How do I setup my mailbox in Outlook?

By EssingtonITS team ·
We make use of 'autodiscover' technology, so that in the majority of cases, Microsoft Outlook can set up your account for you with only an email address and a password. Automatic Setup
  • In Outlook, choose the File tab
  • Under 'Account Information', choose Add Account
  • On the Auto Account Setup page, enter your name, email address, and password, and then choose Next
  • Choose Finish
Manual Setup If automatic setup failed, you can choose Manual setup or additional server types to enter your settings manually. Use these settings: Account type: IMAP Incoming mail server: imap.stackmail.com Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com Incoming server port (IMAP): 993 Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL Outgoing server port (SMTP): 587 Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS When setting up your account, please choose More Settings > Outgoing Server and check the box for 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'. If you experience any problems with the connection or receive a certificate warning, please disable SSL/TLS encryption and change the incoming server port to 143. You can also set up the account using POP3, however this is not recommend in general as emails will be downloaded to the mail client you connect to the mail server. Account type: POP3 Incoming mail server: pop3.stackmail.com Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com Incoming server port (POP3): 995 Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL Outgoing server port (SMTP): 587 Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS
