Outlook is not configured. Setting up Outlook for different mail servers

E-mail is increasingly replacing regular postal mail. The number of users sending correspondence via the Internet is increasing every day. In this regard, there was a need to create special user programs that would facilitate this task and make receiving and sending email more convenient. One such application is Microsoft Outlook. Let's find out how you can create an electronic mailbox on the Outlook.com email service, and then connect it to the above client program.

Mail registration on the Outlook.com service is done through any browser. Type the Outlook.com address into the address bar of your browser. The web browser redirects to live.com. If you already have a registration record with Microsoft, which is the same for all services of this company, then simply enter your phone number, email address or your Skype username, and click on the “Next” button.

If you do not have an account with Microsoft, then click on the inscription “Create one”.

The Microsoft registration form opens in front of us. In its upper part, enter your first and last name, an arbitrary username (it is important that it is not taken by anyone), a created password for logging into your account (2 times), country of residence, date of birth, and gender.

At the bottom of the page, an additional email address (from another service) and phone number are recorded. This is done so that the user can more reliably protect his account, and if he loses his password, he can restore access to it.

Be sure to enter the captcha to ensure the system verifies that you are not a robot, and click on the “Create an account” button.

After this, an entry appears stating that you need to request a code via SMS to confirm the fact that you are a real person. Enter your mobile phone number and click on the “Send code” button.

After the code has arrived on your phone, enter it into the appropriate form and click on the “Create account” button. If the code does not arrive for a long time, then click on the “Code not received” button and enter your other phone number (if available), or try again with the old number.

If everything is fine, then after clicking the “Create account” button, the Microsoft welcome window will open. Click on the triangle-shaped arrow on the right side of the screen.

In the next window, we indicate the language in which we want to see the email interface, and also set our time zone. After specifying these settings, click on the same arrow.

In the next window, select a theme for the background of your Microsoft account from those offered. Click on the arrow again.

In the last window, you have the option to include an original signature at the end of the messages you send. If you don’t change anything, the signature will be standard: “Sent to: Outlook.” Click on the arrow.

After this, a window opens saying that your Outlook account has been created. Click on the “Next” button.

The user is moved to his Outlook mail account.

Linking an account to a client program

Now you need to link the created account on Outlook.com to Microsoft Outlook. Go to the “File” menu section.

In the window that opens, in the “Email” tab, click on the “Create” button.

A service selection window opens in front of us. Leave the switch in the “Email Account” position, where it is by default, and click on the “Next” button.

The account setup window opens. In the “Your name” column, enter your first and last name (or an alias), under which you previously registered on the Outlook.com service. In the “Email Address” column, indicate the full mailbox address on Outlook.com that you registered earlier. In the following columns “Password” and “Password check”, enter the same password that was entered during registration. Then, click on the “Next” button.

The procedure for connecting to your account on Outlook.com begins.

Then, a dialog box may appear in which you should again enter your username and password for your Outlook.com account and click on the “OK” button.

Once the automatic setup is completed, a message indicating this will appear. Click on the “Done” button.

Then you should restart the application. This will create a custom Outlook.com profile in Microsoft Outlook.

As you can see, creating an Outlook.com mailbox in the Microsoft Outlook application consists of two steps: creating an account through a browser on the Outlook.com service, and then linking this account to the Microsoft Outlook client program.

The security of working in Microsoft Outlook versions 2003 and 2007 can only be guaranteed if it is installed on a computer running Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8, 10.

Mail from Microsoft, called Outlook, began to rapidly gain popularity, thanks to its unobtrusive style and convenient functionality, as well as a rich interface that any user can customize for themselves. This article will help you set up your Outlook email, even if you are a new user of the service.

If you already have an Outlook email account, then immediately proceed to point number ten of these instructions. If you want to configure the settings during the account creation process, then stay at this stage.
Go to the official Outlook website and click on the blue “Register” button. Fill in your profile's basic information.

Indicate your last name and first name for ease of communication with your colleagues and friends; it is better to use real data.
Come up with a name for the email address, this is the name that will appear before the “@Outlook.com” part. Just below you will be shown the full email name and the availability of this domain.
The user password must contain at least eight characters and include upper and lower case characters, as well as numbers. Symbols can be inserted into it as desired.

Next, indicate your country, your date of birth so that it is displayed correctly in your friends’ calendar, gender, and, if desired, a backup email address and mobile phone. Using the last two points, you can restore access to your account if you forget your password.
After that, enter the captcha.

Click “Create an account”.

Now you can start quickly setting up your account, click on the white arrow on the right side of the window.

Indicate the language of your account and your time zone in the second line, click on the arrow to the side.

Choose a design theme; there are many designs to choose from with and without animation of the site header.

Now add a signature to your messages. You don't have to do this by clicking the "Off" button, but it will simplify your correspondence and you won't have to add your signature to messages every time. Also at this stage, many signature templates are available, for example, in the “Business” tab.

Wait a few seconds for the changes to take effect and your email account to load.

On your email home page, look for the gear icon in the top right corner. Click on it.

Select “Options” from the drop-down list.

In the left list you have access to many sections and subsections for setting up your Outlook account. Click on the “Shortcut” line to configure the structure of the message list or set up forwarding to another mailbox. This item is a deep setting for Outlook and is individual for each user. Here you can choose how you want to display information on the home page.

In the “General” tab, you can select the “Region and Time Zone” subsection. Set the time and date format, your language, and time zone. In the same tab, you can add your mobile devices to your account and customize the theme.

In the “Mail” tab, go to the “Accounts” subsection, then “Connected accounts” to add accounts of other email accounts, Skype and other services for synchronization.
This tab can also be useful with the special “Cancel sending” function, which is rarely found in other email accounts.

To configure uploading files to your OneDrive drive, go to the “Attachment Options” tab and the subsection with the same name. Here you can choose when to upload your files to the cloud drive. Distribute the settings with checkboxes.

The blacklist should be configured in the “Junk Email” tab. For your convenience, there are many options for filtering correspondence. For example, by clicking on the “Blocked Senders” section, you can put the name or domain of the annoying user, and his messages will no longer bother you.
In the same way, configure the “Filters and Reports”, “Safe Senders” sections, setting priorities.

The large “Calendar” section will help you configure your reminders, calendar format, and weather forecast in detail. It all depends on how you feel comfortable using this menu.

Please note that when setting up sections, for example, weather, after selecting one or another parameter, you need to click on the “Save” button at the very top of the page.

To top it off, click on the icon from the many squares in the site header on the left. This field will open up a whole set of Outlook mail tools and allow you to set up accounts for other services, for example, Skype.

The entire process of setting priorities and options in Microsoft email takes a lot more time and steps, but after that you will receive a personalized service that meets all your requirements and desires.
