In this tutorial, you will learn how to add your domain-specific email account that you have created at Wealthy Affiliate, to your Microsoft Outlook 2016 / 365 email client on your computer.
The prerequisite is that you have already created your email account here at WA and that you have obtained your SMTP login details for both the Incoming & Outgoing mail servers.
You can do this by clicking on Websites (on the left-hand menu) -> SiteManager -> SiteEmail (on the top menu bar). You will see a button to the right of your email address that says SMTP Settings.
Please make sure that you take a note of the the Hostname, Username and Password for both Incoming and Outgoing sections.
When you are ready to proceed, please click on Next Page below.

Thank you Chrystopher ... this is an awesome and invaluable training. I am using the latest 365 and was struggling for days trying to set the email up. Then I found your training and followed it and is worked first time. I used Port 587 with the Outgoing server.
On a related issue to one of the questions below, during the set up Outlook asks if you want the email on your phone set up too, I just tick that box and the phone was automatically set up on the Outlook app which I had already downloaded on the Phone.
Before anyone asks, the laptop is Windows 11 and the phone is iPhone 11 with iOS 17.
Thank you again.
Cheers, William.

VERY helpful - Thank you.
How do we resolve the Cert issue (I'll PM also)? I can get by it, but the same notice opens everytime I open Outlook...and the whole point of SSL...is a valid cert anyway ;-)
Again - Nicely done on the tutorial. Great detail. It would have taken multiple attempts for me to find my way there on my own.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your explanation. I set it up as you explain, I think.
My incoming mail connects on the testing but I do not receive the testing email on webmail.
My ourgoing mail is not able to connect to the server.
I configured
server : smtp.siterubix.com
username
password
port 25 in advanced settings,
auto encrypting.
On Testing is says that it cannot connect to outgoin server. Any idea why?
I had this email all set up and run on outlook before and it worked perfectly. No idea what could be wrong?
Thanks
Seb

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! Not sure whether this is an update, but after clicking OK, having filled out everything according to your previous page, you need to click NEXT to get to a pop-up "Outlook is testing the account settings you entered". Tasks will say: "log onto incoming mail server" and "send test email message", which will get to the certificate question, and then you'll get a confirmation and a screen to click FINISH, with the option to set up Outlook Mobile on the phone...all without opening Outlook.
When you open Outlook, it will ask for the certificate again...

Hi Chrystopher! I am seconding @TheNerdDepot 's question here, about adding it to the Outlook mobile app, specifically. I can (like you) add WA emails to my iPhone's native mail app, but I am trying to help someone else with setting up on Outlook. It is a security certificate error that it does not let me approve/accept on the mobile app like it does on the desktop.
Have you had an opportunity to try this on Outlook mobile yet? Or if you have, can you point me to that tutorial please? I will still keep searching, but Site Support directed me to this very tutorial, which I have already been to. :)
Thanks!
