How Do I Configure Microsoft Outlook?

First, let us make a distinction. There is Outlook that you log into in your web-browser - this is referred to as OWA, or Outlook Web App. Then there is the Outlook Desktop client that comes with Microsoft Office that you install on your computer - this is simply called Outlook.

You don't need to do anything to make OWA work - it's already prepared.

Configuring Outlook, however, depends on which version of Office you are using.

• Office 2013 or 2016: Skip to the next section on how to configure Outlook for Exchange
• Office 2010: You can also configure Outlook for Exchange if you have the necessary updates installed.
• Older Versions: You can't use Exchange, but you can use the IMAP settings below.

If you are using Office 2013 or 2016 then you should skip to the next section on how to How To Configure Outlook for Exchange. If you are using Office 2010, then you can also Configure Outlook for Exchange as long as you have installed the necessary updates.

What is Exchange?

When you think of Outlook you might just think of email and perhaps calendars and you can have this in just about any email client. But Exchange takes this a bit further by allowing for more interaction amoungst users of an organization. This includes file and calendar sharing, organization contacts, messaging, presence, groups, and even special interaction with other Office365 services.

Exchange is only available to Outlook and Outlook online clients. See also:

Configure IMAP

• Username: This will be your full email address.
• Password: Usually, your client normally won't ask for your password until it tries to connect. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.
• IMAP Server: outlook.office365.com
• Port: 993 (it won't work with another number...)
• Connection Security: SSL/TLS
• Authentication Method: Normal Password - if you try to put "Encrypted Password" it won't work. Google already uses SSL, which means it is already encrypted.
