Due to changes in the way that Outlook 2016 and Outlook 365 configure email accounts, we are going to use an alternative method for directly adding an email, rather than configuring it directly within Outlook.
Therefore, please close Outlook if you already have it open and proceed with the steps below.
Please click on your Windows Start Button (bottom left of your taskbar by default), and type in Control Panel. You will see Control Panel appear in the list. Please click on this to open it.
Once Control Panel has opened, please type in Mail in the top right-hand search box. You will then see Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2016) (32-bit). Click on this to open up the Mail Settings.
Now you have Mail open, if you do not already have a Profile created, please click on Add.
Please choose a name for the new profile and then click on OK (if you do not already have a profile created, or if you would like an additional profile).
To proceed with addinging your email account to Outlook, please click on Next Page below.
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.

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.
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
When you open Outlook, it will ask for the certificate again...
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!
