outlook-2016
outlook-2016

Note: To complete these steps, you will need to know your email address and password provided by your Internet service provider (ISP).

Select the type of email account you want to add to Outlook 2016.

You can use these steps to add your first account as well as all additional accounts.

Outlook for AndroidOffice 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, or Live.com
Most email accounts, including Office 365, Exchange server accounts, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, and Live.com accounts can be set up in a few quick steps.

Open Outlook 2016.

Line
Select File > Add Account.

Line
Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, email address, and password, and then select Next.
Line
If prompted, enter your password and select OK.

Line
That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook 2016.

Gmail

Before you add your Gmail account to Outlook, you’ll need to turn on two-factor authentication with Gmail and generate an app password from the Gmail website. After you have that app password, you can add your Gmail account to Outlook.

An app password is a one-time password that you’ll use in place of your regular Gmail email password. It lets Gmail confirm that you’re the person accessing your email.

Outlook for AndroidStep 1: Generate an app password from Gmail

Line
Go to Gmail from your browser, then select the Google apps icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Line
Select My Account > Sign-in & security > Signing in to Google.
Line
Under Password & sign-in method, if 2-Step Verification is ON, skip to the next step. Otherwise, select 2-Step Verification and follow the prompts. When you’re done, select the back arrow at the top of the screen.
Line
Under Password & sign-in method > App passwords.
Line
Enter your Google password > Sign in. At the bottom of the next screen, select Mail and Windows Computer from the drop-down lists >Generate.
Line
Google will display an app password for you. Make a note of this password (without the spaces).


Outlook for AndroidStep 2: Add your Gmail account to Outlook 2016

Line
Open Outlook 2016.
Line
Select File > Add Account.
Line
Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, Gmail address, and the app password from step 6 above, and then select Next.
Line
If prompted, enter the app password you generated in Step 6 above > OK.
Line
That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook.


iCloud, Apple, or @me.com accounts

Before you add your iCloud, Apple, or @me.com account to Outlook, you’ll need to turn on two-factor authentication with iCloud and generate an app password from the iCloud website. After you have that app password, you can add your account to Outlook.

An app password is a one-time password that you’ll use in place of your regular password. It lets iCloud confirm that you’re the person accessing your email.

Outlook for AndroidStep 1: Generate an app password from iCloud

Line

Go to the Apple ID website from your browser, enter your Apple ID and password.

Line

If you’ve already turned on two-factor authentication, you’ll receive a code on one of your devices. Enter this code to continue. Otherwise, turn on two-factor authentication.

Line

In the Security section, under APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS, select Generate Password…

Line

Enter a name, such as Outlook and select Create.

Line

Copy the app password displayed. Make a note of this password.

Outlook for AndroidStep 2: Add your iCloud account to Outlook 2016

Line
Open Outlook 2016.
Line
Select File > Add Account.
Line
Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, iCloud or Apple or @me.com address, and the app password from step 5 above, and then select Next.
Line
If prompted, enter the app password you generated in Step 5 above once more > OK.

Line

That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook.


YAHOO

Before you add your Yahoo account to Outlook 2016, you’ll need to generate an app password from the Yahoo website. After you have that app password, you can add your Yahoo account to Outlook.

An app password is a one-time password that you’ll use in place of your regular Yahoo email password. It lets Yahoo confirm that you’re the person accessing your email.

Note: Microsoft is investigating an issue that causes some users to be unable to setup their IMAP accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Apple, and others). If you attempt to add your account to Outlook and are not asked for a password, you are affected by this issue. For a workaround, see Outlook doesn’t ask me for a password.

Outlook for AndroidStep 1: Generate an app password from Yahoo

Line
Go to Yahoo from your browser, then select the settings icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Line

Select Account info > Account security. You may need to sign in again.

Line

If needed, turn on two-step verification. Otherwise, select Manage app passwords.

Line
Select Outlook Desktop from the drop-down list, and then select Generate.

Line

Yahoo will display an app password for you. Make a note of this password (without the spaces).

Outlook for AndroidStep 2: Add your Yahoo account to Outlook 2016

Line

Open Outlook 2016.

Line

Select File > Add Account.

Line

Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, email address, and the app password from step 5 above > Next .

Line

If prompted again, enter the app password you generated in step 5 above, then select OK.

Line

That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook.


Other email account (or I don’t know)

If you have an account through your Internet Service Provider, mobile phone company, or a business that doesn’t use an Exchange server, Outlook will try to find your settings for you. However, if Outlook can’t find your settings, you can look them up in our email provider settings reference. Select the type of account you have and note the settings you’ll need for Outlook 2016.

Line
Open Outlook 2016.
Line
Select File > Add Account.
Line
Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, email address, and password, and then select Next.
Line
Enter your password and select OK. You may need to enter the password more than once.
Line
Outlook may display a screen that lists all of your email server settings. Select Connect.
Line

That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook.

 Manual setup

Sometimes, Outlook’s automatic setup fails. If so, you can add most account types manually. You cannot add an Exchange server account manually. If you want to add an Office 365 email account manually, you’ll have to add it as an IMAP account.

Line
Open Outlook 2016.
Line
Select File > Add Account.
Line
Select Advanced Setup > Let me set up my account manually > Connect.
Line
Select your account type, usually POP or IMAP.
Line

You can find the Incoming and Outgoing mail server, Port, Encryption method, and Secure Password Authentication information in the POP and IMAP account settings topic. Select Connect.

Line

That’s it. Select Finish to start using Outlook.

If you’re having trouble adding your account to Outlook 2016, double-check the following settings:

  • Your User name is your full email address.
  • Your Incoming server port is usually 993.
  • Your Outgoing server port is usually 465.
