====== Setting Up IMAP in Microsoft Outlook (Manual Setup) ======

While newer versions of Microsoft Outlook provide a simpler email setup process with less fields to input, sometimes they may not able to fetch the accurate email server settings.

This document illustrates the manual steps of setting up IMAP in Microsoft Outlook, where we can define all server and email settings directly. If you prefer to follow the new setup process, please refer [[faq:email:mail_setup_ms_outlook_imap_latest|here]].

By default, Ms Outlook will only synchronize the Inbox and Sent mailbox. If you want to access emails from other mail folders (e.g. Read, Junk or custom folders) on your Ms Outlook, find out how you can do so at [[faq:email:subscribe_imap_folder_ms_outlook|Choose Specific IMAP Folders from Webmail to Appear on Ms Outlook]].
