The best way to configure Outlook on Windows 10 is through the Control Panel. The following is for Outlook 2019 (aka Outlook 365) and other versions should be similar.
- In Outlook, go to File => Info => In the Account Settings pulldown menu select "Manage Profiles", OR
- In Windows 10, click on the Start menu and type “Control” to find the Control Panel App, and click on it from the search results
- Search for "mail" in the Control Panel search box in the upper right corner. Click on Mail (Microsoft Outlook...).
- Click the "Email Accounts..." button then click "New"
- On the "Add Account" screen, select "Manual setup or additional server types" and then press "Next"
- Click the "POP or IMAP" button, then click "Next"
- On the "Add Account" screen, fill in these items:
- Your Name (e.g. Jane Public)
- Email Address - If you have your own domain, use that address here, otherwise your username@swcp.com email address.
- Set Account Type to "IMAP"
- Incoming Mail Server: mail.swcp.com
- Outgoing Mail Server: mail.swcp.com
- User Name: Your SWCP username
- Password: your SWCP mailbox password
- Make sure the “Require login using Secure Password…” box is NOT CHECKED
- Click the "More Settings" button, then the "Outgoing Server" tab
- Click the “My outgoing server requires authentication” box
- Click the “Use same settings as my incoming mail server” button (it should already be selected).
- Click the Advanced tab
- Under "Incoming Server", set "Use the following type of encrypted connection" to "SSL/TLS" and set the port number to 993
- Under "Outgoing Server", set "Use the following type of encrypted connection" to "SSL/TLS" and set the port number to 465. (Double-check that the port number stays at 465 before hitting OK … sometimes it will change).
- Click "OK", then "Next"
- It should do a test, which will hopefully be successful. Then click "Close" on the test window and "Finish" on the "Add Account" window.
Now you can start Outlook and use this account!
