Email

Email Setup (Fresh Install)

  • This guide assumes you already have Office installed
  • Open Outlook. Since this is a new install, you'll get a nice splash screen. Type in your email address (youraddress@yourdomain.tld) and hit Connect
  • You'll likely land on a screen that looks like the following. You want to select IMAP

Set settings as follows:

  • Incoming Mail
    • Server: mail.yourdomain.tld
    • Port: 993
    • Encryption Method: SSL/TLS
  • Outgoing Mail
    • Server: mail.yourdomain.tld
    • Port: 465
    • Encryption Method: SSL/TLS
  • If all of that looks good, hit Next
  • It should prompt you for your password now. Type that in and hit Connect
  • If it all went well, you should see a screen like this. Congratulations, you're done!

Email Setup (Non Fresh Install)

  • Open Outlook, and head to "File" in the upper-left corner of the window, then "Info", "Account Settings" and "Account Settings..."
  • In this window, select "New..."; From here, the setup is the same as the guide for fresh installs listed above

Calendar and Address Book

  • In order to make the calendar and address book work for outlook, you will need a third party plugin. Here is a list of compatible ones, though each has it's limitations, and none has been tested in production by us:
    • http://ical.gutentag.ch
      • Tested in Outlook 2010: this program works well, but was confusing to setup and not entirely intuitive to use; Is also paid only! There is a trial.
    • http://www.cfos.de/en/index.htm
      • Tested in Outlook 2016: Seemed easy enough to set up and sync the CalDAV calendar, is relatively slow on first sync. Only supports up to Outlook 2016 at the most.
    • https://caldavsynchronizer.org/
      • Tested in Outlook 2019, very easy to set up and configure. Says it supports office 365 but currently we have no way of testing that.
