1. In Outlook, choose the File tab.

2. Under Account Information, choose Add Account.

3. On the Auto Account Setup page, enter your name, email address, and password, and then choose Next.

Note: If you receive an error message after choosing Next, double check your email address and password. If both are correct, see the next section.

4. Choose Finish.

Automatic setup didn't work

If setup didn't complete, Outlook may ask you to try again using an unencrypted connection to the mail server. If that doesn't work, your next steps will depend on what type of account you're trying to add. You can choose Manual setup or additional server types for most types of accounts.

 If you're using Outlook 2016, you can't use the manual setup type for Exchange or Office 365 accounts. Contact your Exchange administrator or the Microsoft Answer desk if the automatic account setup fails for Exchange or Office 365 accounts.. They will help you set up Outlook. See Need additional help?  If you upgrade to Outlook 2016 from an earlier version and you receive errors about not being able to log on to or start Outlook, it's because the Exchange Autodiscover Service isn't configured or isn't working correctly. For details about how to get around this issue, see “Outlook cannot log on” or “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook” error displays in Microsoft Outlook 2016.

To manually set up an account

Office 365 for business accounts

You can't use the Manual setup or additional server types option for Office 365 for business accounts. If you're having trouble setting up your Office 365 for business account, we can automatically diagnose and fix many Outlook setup issues for you.

Exchange or Office 365 for university accounts

You can't use the Manual setup or additional server types option for Exchange or Office 365 accounts. If you've checked your email address and password and verified they are correct, try the following steps in order.

1. Check your internet connection. 2. Try to access your Office 365 account using Outlook on the web. Go to Office 365 sign-in, and enter the email address (for example, [email protected]) for your Office 365 Education or other Exchange-based email account, enter your password, and choose Sign in.

If this works, then the problem is likely with the Outlook program. See Repair an Office application.

Gmail accounts

Before you can add a Gmail account to Outlook, you'll need to Prepare your Gmail account for connecting to Outlook and Office 365 and then Import Gmail to Outlook. The most common reason Outlook will fail to add a Gmail account is a missing or incorrect app password.

All other accounts
