This guide will show step-by-step instructions for setting up E-mail on Outlook 2010 for Windows. 



Let's get started:


1. Begin by launching Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac



2. On the menu bar at the top of the screen, click Outlook then click Preferences.



3.  Outlook Preferences will be displayed. Select Accounts. 



4. When prompted, select Other Email.




5. Fill the Account Information. 




Notes :

  • Email Address : Enter your email address (yourID@uoguelph.ca) 
  • Password: Enter your password.
  • User name: Enter your email address (yourID@uoguelph.ca)
  • Type: select IMAP or POP. IMAP is recommended for its ability to sync messages between multiple devices (to learn more about the difference between the protocols, see IMAP vs POP3 email).
  • Incoming Server: 
    • When using standard (non-SSL) settings, use mail.yourdomainname.com
    • When using secure (SSL) settings, use the server’s hostname (host.yourdomainname.com)
    • The default port numbers should not need to be changed unless you have configured your server to use non-standard ports (not common)
    • Check the box next to Use SSL to connect (recommended
    • Incoming server (IMAP): 143 (default)
    • Incoming server (POP3): 110 (default)
    • Outgoing server (SMTP): 587, 25, 26 (default)
  • Outgoing Server: 
    • When using standard (non-SSL) settings, use mail.yourdomainname.com
    • When using secure (SSL) settings, use the server’s hostname (host.yourdomainname.com)
    • The default port numbers should not need to be changed unless you have configured your server to use non-standard ports (not common)
    • Check the box next to Use SSL to connect (recommended)
    • Incoming server (IMAP): 143 (default)
    • Incoming server (POP3): 110 (default)
    • Outgoing server (SMTP): 587, 25, 26 (default)


6. After fill all the requested information, click the Add Account button at the bottom of the window to create the account with your specified settings.




Configure Security Settings. 


When you add your email account, an alert window may prompt you to review security settings. This is expected if you have not already purchased and installed a signed, third-party verified SSL certificate on your mail server. However, If you see no such prompt, then you’re all set and can begin using Outlook 2016 with your email account immediately.


If you do get a security prompt, which specifies that information that you view and send will be encrypted, note that Outlook 2016 will not be able to verify the security of the certificate through a third-party because you are the only authority validating it:

 


If you wish to proceed with the connection, you have two options:


  • Click the Continue button to proceed, with the caveat that you may need to accept the warning each time Outlook connects.
  • Or, you can permanently store the certificate and treat it as trusted, by clicking Show Certificate and then checking the box next to Always trust … before clicking Continue. You will need to authenticate with your password to store the exception for your self-signed certificate.
