Step 1:
Make sure you know your email address and password. This is important for multiple reasons. If you type your password wrong multiple times during this process it will block you on the firewall and you will have to contact us to unblock you.
Step 2:
Download Outlook from the PlayStore onto your phone, turn it on until you get to this screen. Type your email in the open box as the other options are for setting up google accounts in Outlook or simply creating a new outlook email.

Step 3:
Start by inputting your email and clicking continue on the bottom of the screen.
Step 4:
The next step is to select what type of connection do you want set up between your phone and the mail server. You can choose from POP3 or IMAP. To briefly explain, POP3 will download all the emails onto your phone from the mail server and it will delete them, meaning you won’t be able to access them from a different device. IMAP does the opposite and it stores them on the server and you can access it from multiple computers. This will automatically connect to the server meaning you won't need to type in the settings manually.
Step 5:
Now you will have a window asking you to type your password in. It will also ask you to type your display name in and description of the mailbox, as you see I set mine to “Work”.
Step 6:
Right after that you are all done and ready to use your email on your phone. It might take a while to load depending which protocol you used and how many emails you have.
