CAMRA Branch Hosting Server

Welcome to CAMRA's Hosting server.

Guides for implementing CAMRA Email services on popular Email Clients.

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 Hosting server does not allow due to Microsoft changing their processes, so users are required to enter these details manually to allow for a trouble free setup.

Please Note:

These instructions are for the new version of Outlook that is not part of the Microsoft Office 365 suite. If you are using the version provided with Office 365, please refer to the older guide here:

This guide in particular covers off how to add a Hosting Mailbox to the New Outlook on Windows.
