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.
