CAMRA Branch Hosting Server

Introduction

Outlook is a popular Email program provided as part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs. Over the years, Outlook has changed its design and the process for adding accounts has been simplified with much of the process now being automated. Unfortunately, automatic account discovery is something that the Plesk server does not allow, so users are still required to enter these details manually to allow for a trouble free setup.

This guide in particular covers off how to add a Plesk Mailbox to Outlook on MacOS. The latest Outlook 365/2019 is preferred to match with the instructions.

There are two different types of settings available, and this depends on how your Branch website is hosted.

If you are unsure, please contact your Branch Webmaster or simply email us on support(@)hosting.camra.org.uk

2. Click "Add Email Account"

3. Enter the email address that you wish to Add, and click "Continue".
