How to Set up an Email Account in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010

 

Setting up an email account in Office 2010

 Open Office and go to File > Info

 

 

Click on Account Settings then Account Settings

 

Select New

Then Click on E-Mail Account then Next

Then Select Manually Configure Server Settings or Additional Server Types

If you select E-Mail Account, Office will try and connect you Automatically. My experience is that it will fail and you will not know why, so I recommend doing it manually.

 

Select Internet E-mail

Select IMAP for the Account Type

Fill out the Fields as shown using your email address and mail servers. 

Your mail servers will normally be mail.yourdomain.co.uk

Your Password will be given to you when your mail provider sets up the email address for you, if you have not done so yourself.

 

After filling out these Fields Click More Settings

 

Fill out each of the Tabs as shown in the Images below

 

 

 

 

It is important that you make sure these settings are correct

 

 

 

After Completing these Tabs Click OK then Test Account settings.  If you get this report than you know that the emails settings are correctly entered.

If not the go back and carefully check each of the steps as it is likely that a mistake will have been made. 

 

 

Having successfully tested the email you can un-check the "Test Account Settings by Clicking the Next Button" and then hit Next. If you leave it checked Office will just do the test you have just done again

 

 

That's it!
