The Outlook app on your phone and Outlook for Mac

The Outlook app on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone

You can find step-by-step instructions for adding your WebOké email address to the Outlook app in The Outlook app and the new Outlook with your own address. There you choose IMAP yourself and enter the details from The details you need.

Good to know: the Outlook app also collects your mail via the Microsoft cloud, just like the new Outlook for Windows (see Your mail via the Microsoft Cloud: the privacy choice). If you don't want that, use the mail app that is already on your phone (see iPhone and iPad and Android and the Gmail app).

You set up a signature separately in the app's settings. For the app, you also set up an out-of-office message on our server (see An out-of-office message: why it runs on the server).

Outlook for Mac

To set up Outlook for Mac, go to the Outlook menu, then Settings and Accounts, and click the plus sign to add a new account. Choose IMAP and enter the details from The details you need. The steps are also described in Apple Mail and Outlook on the Mac.

On the Mac, you do have a choice:

• Sync with the Microsoft Cloud: Microsoft collects your mail and keeps a copy, just like the new Outlook for Windows.
• Sync directly with IMAP: Outlook connects to our server itself. No copy is kept by Microsoft.

You make this choice when you add the account. According to Microsoft, you can't change it afterwards: you then remove the account and add it again with the other option.

Outlook on the web (Outlook.com)

You can no longer connect your WebOké email address to Outlook.com in your browser. To find out what you can do, read Outlook.com and your own domain. If you want to read your mail in your browser, use our webmail (see Opening webmail).
