Configure Outlook for Hosted Mail

Outlook 2016 or higher from Office 365 on Windows

If you installed Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019 or Outlook for Office 365 from Office 365 (i.e. downloaded and installed from Office 365), please be advised that those versions of Outlook have an issue with autodiscover. Because of this, you must first disable the Simplified Account Creation wizard in order to setup  your mailbox with our Hosted Mail.
