How To Add Your First IMAP Email Account To Outlook On Android

Step 1: If you haven’t already downloaded & installed Outlook, you can click here to open the Play Store.

Step 2: The first time you open Outlook, you’ll see a screen like the one below.

Tap Get Started

Step 3: Enter the email address you are adding as user@yourdomain.tld

Then tap Continue

Step 4: Outlook will attempt to help you setup your email account as though you are connecting to a Microsoft Exchange mail server. We’ll need to switch the account type to continue setup.

To do this, tap the? mark in the circle located in the top right corner of the screen. Then tap Change account provider

Step 5: Outlook will provide you with a list of common account types. In the 3rd section, tap IMAP to continue.

Step 6: On the next screen, you will be prompted to enter the account credentials for this new account.

Enter the password for the email account you are adding.
Next, enter the name you want other people to see when you use Outlook to send mail.
Then, give the account a name so you can easily identify it in Outlook. This is useful if you have multiple accounts setup in Outlook.

Next, tap the toggle in the bottom right to enable the advanced settings.

Step 7: We will examine the next screen in 2 parts.

Firstly, we’ll need to enter the incoming IMAP server information. Enter this as mail.yourdomain.tld

Then enter the username for the account you’re adding as user@yourdomain.tld

And finally, enter the password for the account you are adding.

Next, you’ll need to scroll down so you can enter the SMTP Outgoing Mail Server settings.

Enter mail.yourdomain.tld as the SMTP Host Name
Enter your user@yourdomain.tld as the SMTP Username
And enter the password for the account you’re adding

To proceed, tap the ✔ mark in the top right corner.

Step 8: That’s it! If the settings you typed are correct, you’ll see a screen like the one below!

If you want to add another account, you can tap Add or to continue to your inbox, tap maybe later.
