How to set up Outlook for MacOS

This tutorial describes how to set up email in Outlook for Mac OS.

NOTE: For this tutorial, we will use postmaster@samling.com.my as our test email account. You will need to change some of the settings to match your setup.

However, if you already have one or more email accounts set up in Outlook and wish to add a new one, simply click the Tools menu at the top of the screen, then choose Accounts. 

The Set Up Your Email screen will appear. Input your email address, then click the Continue button.

Outlook for Mac will now try to auto-detect the settings to connect to the server. If successful, you’ll see a screen showing the correct settings and an option to Add Account.

However, if you get a notice that states: Sorry! We couldn’t find a match, then click the IMAP/POP icon to continue.

To verify your account settings, ensure they are set up as shown in the image above.

NOTE: The username is always the full email address you are setting up.
