How to add your email to Outlook on a computer

Connect your mailbox to Outlook for Windows or Mac.

1
Start adding an account
In Outlook, click File (top left), then Add Account. In the new Outlook, open Settings → Accounts → Add account. On a Mac: Outlook → Settings → Accounts → +.
2
Type your address
Enter your full email address. Click Advanced options, tick Let me set up my account manually and click Connect.
3
Choose IMAP
When asked for the account type, choose IMAP.
4
Enter the servers
Incoming mail: server mail.yourbusiness.ie, port 993, encryption SSL/TLS. Outgoing mail: server mail.yourbusiness.ie, port 465, encryption SSL/TLS. Click Next.
5
Enter the password and connect
Type your email password and click Connect. When Outlook says the account was added, click Done.

Good to know

If Outlook keeps asking for the password, check that the username is the full email address, not just the part before @.
