Setting up Outlook to connect to a Enterprise Mail mailbox is very simple. Two things to note, however, before you get started:
- Make sure you are connecting an account that has Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync enabled for it, and
- Make sure your mail domain has a valid SSL certificate as Outlook 13 requires a SSL connection when using EAS.
To set up Outlook, do the following:
- Open up Outlook 2013 and click on the File tab.
- Click Add Account.
- Click the radio button next to Manual setup or additional server types.
- Click Next.
- When presented with the Choose Service screen, select Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync compatible service.
- Click Next.
- Enter your user, server and logon information. Be sure to use the full email address for the E-mail Address. your mail server address will generally be in the form of mail.domain.com. If you are unsure of the mail server address, contact your mail administrator or hosting provider.
- Click Next.
- Outlook will automatically test your account settings. When the connection is successful you simply need to close the Test Account Settings pop up and your account is created!
- Click Finish to complete the setup of your Enterprise Mail account in Outlook 2013.
