Setting Up Outlook with IMAP on Mac<\/h3>\n
The example below is based on MS Office 2011 on MacOS. In our opinion Outlook on the Mac is the easiest all around Email program to setup.<\/p>\n
Choose the Tools > Accounts<\/em> item from the main menu to reveal Email accounts. To add a new Email Account, choose the Email Account Icon <\/em>from the body of this window.<\/p>\n Outlook requests details. Enter your Email Address, the window expands to provide space to enter User Name, Incoming Server and Outgoing Server.<\/em> Your User Name<\/em> will be the same as your Email Address<\/em>. Make sure that your caps lock key is off before typing your password.<\/p>\n Enter the Incoming and Outgoing server that you have been given. Note the status of checkboxes and port numbers below and match these.<\/p>\n Choose Add Account.<\/em> If your information is correct, Outlook will provide a summary window.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Accounts page shows a summary of the settings for the new account.<\/p>\n The Account description has been manually updated to read Personal Account. Choose your own descriptive title for your account.<\/p>\n The yellow disc to the left of the Account Name indicates that the account is still off line. If you are connected to the Internet, and your entries were correct, the yellow disk will turn to green.<\/p>\n If there is a problem, you will receive pop-up requests for corrected information, as shown below. One of the most common mistakes<\/strong> is to enter one’s own name in the User Name<\/em> blank. Your Email Address<\/em>is the same as your User Name<\/em> in Email context.<\/p>\n When you have provided correct information, the repeated prompts for user info will stop.<\/p>\n Choose More Options<\/em> near the bottom of the Accounts<\/em> window.<\/p>\n A drop down menu provides a means to specify more authentication information for your outgoing server. Change the Authentication<\/em> to Use Incoming Server Info<\/em> as below. Incoming and outgoing authentication details are always the same at WebValence.<\/p>\n Choose OK to return to the Accounts<\/em> window.<\/p>\n Choose Advanced…<\/em> to reveal an additional three-tab window. On the Server<\/em> tab, consider slowing down the IMAP Sync to once every five minutes. Be sure to enter INBOX in the IMAP Root Folder.<\/p>\n On the Folders<\/em> tab, we recommend the following settings. This helps synchonize Webmail with your Email program. We also recommend setting the Trash for automatical deletion after one week!<\/p>\n On the advanced Security<\/em> tab. We recommend no changes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You should now get a successful test completion. Unfortunately this will not always happen. If your effort fails, recheck your settings and try again. If it fails twice, give up and call support.<\/p>\n![\"Add](\"https:\/\/secure.webvalence.com\/images\/emailclient\/mac_outlook_imap_01.jpg\")
