Microsoft Outlook is an email manager program that is widely used all around the world for managing email accounts effectively. Here we discuss simple instructions for setting up an email account in the Outlook email manager program.

Instructions

• Open the Outlook email manager program by double clicking on its shortcut icon found in the desktop. If you are not able to find the icon of the program on the desktop, click on the Start menu and locate the program under the All Programs tab. When you find the program, click on it for launching the Outlook email client. 
• When the application menu appears on the screen, click on the Tools tab located at the top left corner of the application window. From the drop down menu that appears on the screen, click on the Accounts tab or Email Accounts tab according to the version of Outlook program you have installed in the system. 
• When the new window appears on the screen, select the option for adding a new account to the application and then click on the Next button to continue with the configuration process. 
• In the window that appears on the screen, you will be able to see different fields required to setup email in Outlook client. Fill in correct details in appropriate sections so that there will not be any issues while configuring the program. Make sure that you select the server type from the drop down list as POP3, IMAP, or Exchange. 
• If you choose POP or IMAP as the server type, you will have to input the details of the account like name, email address, password for logging in to the system etc. While you go on to setup email in Outlook, make sure that you have provided the correct incoming and outgoing mail server details in the fields provided for them. However, in the case of Exchange accounts, Outlook needs to know only your Name and email address for auto configuring your account. 
• If the email server you are using requires additional server settings, make sure that you enter them too in the fields provided, like changing the port numbers or configuring additional server authentication settings.
