How to setup POP with Outlook on Windows 11

There are two ways to setup Outlook with Windows 11.

1.) While Outlook launches

• When you first launch Outlook, it will prompt you to log in.
• You want to check the box to manually setup.
• Then add in all of your POP account information and find your PST file you want the email delivered into.

2.) Through the mail app in control panel

• Do not launch Outlook first.
• Go to the control panel and find the mail icon.
• Click on it and select “show profiles” and then click “Add” and name your profile.
• Outlook is the default name but you can name it anything you like. I like to name it by the year “2022”.
• Then an add account box will pop up. Select “Manual setup or additional server types”.
• Select Pop. Hit Next.
• Now you can type in all your information
• Change the deliver to new message to area to the location of your PST file. Be sure it’s not in OneDrive first, this is a dangerous location for your PST as OneDrive is constantly synchronizing.
• Select “More settings” and click on the “Outgoing Server” tab and check the box “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
• Click on the advanced tab and put in the port numbers from your email server. Most common is 995 SSL with 465 SSL
• Hit Ok, and then test to see if you set it up correctly. If 2 green checks pop up, then you’re all set.
