How to add an email account to Outlook on your PC

1. Click 'File' in the top-left, and then click 'Add Account.'

2. In the pop-up window, you can enter the email address of the account you want to add and click 'Connect.' If you want to set up the account manually, click 'Advanced options,', then click 'Connect.' If Outlook recognizes your email account, it will ask you to enter your password and complete the setup.

If it's a straightforward webmail account (like Gmail), Outlook can usually do it automatically. If you're configuring an IMAP or Microsoft Exchange account, though, it's often faster to choose to do it manually.

3. If you need to configure your account manually, choose the type of account you're setting up. The most common options include Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, POP, and IMAP. You can find this information using Google to figure out what type of email account you have.

4. Follow the remaining instructions to configure the account. Depending on the type of email account you're adding, you may need to specify the incoming and outgoing email server names, port numbers and encryption methods. You can get all these details from your email provider's website or technical support. If you are adding an Exchange server to Outlook, you might need to get the details from your IT department or network administrator.
