Add an email account to Outlook

With Outlook on your PC, Mac or mobile device, you can:

• Organize email to let you focus on the messages that matter most.

• Manage your calendar to schedule meetings and appointments with ease.

• Share files from the cloud so recipients always have the latest version.

• Stay connected and productive wherever you are.

2. Enter your email address, then select Connect or, if your screen looks different, enter your name, email address, and password, and then select Next.

3. If prompted, enter your password and select OK.

4. That's it. Select Finish to start using Outlook 2016.
