Add an email account to Outlook

Ryan White

There are many different types of email accounts you can add to Outlook, including Office 365, Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and Exchange accounts.

Some third-party email providers, like Gmail, Yahoo, and iCloud, require you to change some settings on their websites before you can add these accounts to Outlook.

Add a new account quickly

Most email accounts, including Office 365, Exchange server accounts, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, and Live.com accounts can be set up in a few quick steps.

  1. Type your email address > Continue.

    The first screen you see asks you to enter your email address

  2. Type your password > Add Account. (Your screen might look different from this one depending on the account you're adding.)

    Enter your password for your outlook.com account

  3. If adding a Gmail, Yahoo, or other IMAP or POP account, you might be taken to those sites and asked to allow Outlook to access your mail, contacts, and calendars. Click Allow to continue.

  4. Select Done to start using Outlook 2016 for Mac.
