Email: How to Add a New Email Account to Outlook for Windows

After you've installed Outlook—either from Office 365 or from one of the Microsoft Office suites—you can add one or more email accounts.

To add as an Exchange Account (PREFERRED)

1. Open Outlook.
2. Select File > Add Account.
3. Enter your WSU email address and password then select Next.
4. You may be prompted to enter your password again, if so type it in the password box and select OK.
5. Select Finish.

--------------------------------------
Sometimes, Outlook's automatic setup fails. If so, you can add most account types manually. You cannot add an Exchange server account manually. If you want to add an Office 365 email account manually, you'll have to add it as an IMAP account.
How to Add an Email Account as an IMAP Account: 

1. Open Outlook.
2. Select File >Add > Account.
3. Select Advanced Setup > Let me set up my account manually, then click Connect.
4. Select Account Type IMAP.
5. Enter the following information:

                Incoming Server: outlook.office365.com
                Domain (if asked): outlook.office365.com
                Username: Your WSU email address

                Port: 993
                Outgoing Server:  smtp.wsu.edu
                Authentication Type: None
