having problems setting up a new email account in outlook

HOW DOM YOU SET UP A NEW EMAIL IN OUTLOOK

Hey there, my name is Ajibola and I'm excited to help you today! To add an email account to Outlook, use the Auto Account Setup wizard. This wizard will automatically detect the settings for your email account and configure it for you. To use this wizard, follow these steps: • Open Outlook and click Next at the Welcome screen. • Click Yes to add a new email account, and click Next. • In the Auto Account Wizard, enter your name, email address, and password. • Click Next and Finish. If the Auto Account Setup wizard fails to detect your email account settings, you can try to manually configure them. To do this, you will need to know some information about your email account, such as the incoming and outgoing server names, port numbers, encryption methods, and authentication types. You can usually find this information on your email provider's website or by contacting their support team. To manually configure your email account settings, follow these steps: • Open Outlook and click Next at the Welcome screen. • Click Yes to add a new email account, and click Next. • In the Auto Account Wizard, select Manual setup or additional server types, and click Next. • Select the type of email account you have (POP, IMAP, Exchange, or other), and click Next. • Enter your name, email address, and password. • Enter the incoming and outgoing server names, port numbers, encryption methods, and authentication types for your email account. • Click More Settings to adjust any additional options, such as leaving a copy of messages on the server or using a different reply-to address. • Click Next and Finish Note: You might need to translate the page content in the link shared below.
