Email settings in Outlook 2013

In order to correctly configure your email accounts in Outlook, you must follow a series of steps:

1) We have to open the Microsoft Outlook application, the icon is usually located on the desktop or in the anchored start menu.

2) Access the Tools menu and then go to account settings or email accounts.

3) Once inside email, you must select the option to add a new email account, then you must click on next. Select, POP, only if you use a device to check your email or IMAP, if you check it from more than one device, then you must click next.

Where user information appears you must put your name and also the email address to which you want to configure ([email protected]).

4) In Server information you will put: Incoming mail server, POP3, example pop3.yourdomain.com or it can be your incoming email mail.yourdomain.com.

(IMAP): you will put imap.yourdomain.com and you will also do it in outgoing mail.

In SMTP: you will put smtp.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.com.

Then in the login information, you must put the username, that is, you must put the account number completely ([email protected]), which is already configured and where it says password you will put the one that appears in the control panel for the email account.

IMPORTANT DATA: you should not log in using the password or password authentication option.

After completing these steps, the account should work without any problem.

Note to keep in mind: You must modify “yourdomain.com” for the other domain in question, otherwise it will not work. For example… [email protected]
