Add an email account to Outlook for PC
After you've installed Outlook—either from Office 365 or from one of the Microsoft Office suites—you can add one or more email accounts. For example, if you're an Office 365 customer, you can add your Office 365 email to Outlook. You can also add personal email accounts, like Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com, Gmail, or Yahoo accounts, or check your email from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as Xfinity or Verizon.
Having trouble setting up your email or need manual setup steps? See Troubleshooting Outlook email setup. If you want to use Outlook 2016 without adding an email account, see Open Outlook 2016 without adding an email account.
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.
Office 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.

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.
