Before You Begin

Make sure that you know your email password. If you do not know it, you will not be able to set it up! This guide shows the setup on Outlook for Mac 2016. If you are using an older version of Outlook, the setup will vary slightly. 

Set Up Outlook for the First Time

Open Microsoft Outlook and a screen should appear asking you to get started.

Click "Get started," then click "Not Now" on the following window. 

Then click "Start Using Outlook"

Setting Up Your Salem Email on Outlook (if you just installed Outlook)

Once you have finished the prompts that appear the first time that you open Outlook, you will be greeted with a screen asking you to add the account that Outlook was installed with (likely not your Salem email account). When that screen appears, click "Add Others."

Enter your Salem email in the box that appears, then click "Continue."

A new window should open after you click "Continue," asking you for your Salem email password, enter it, then click "Sign in."

You should see a screen following that says "Connecting to Office365," then it should have a prompt that says "[email] has been added."

Once you see that screen, you can either add other email accounts to your computer, or select "Done" to get into your emails.

Setting Up Your Email on Outlook (if you have already been using Outlook)

If you have already been using Outlook or have set up an email and deleted it, the process to add an email is slightly different than it is if you have just installed the program. 

With Outlook open, click the word "Outlook" on the menu bar on the top of your screen, then click "Preferences."

Once you are in the Preferences screen, click "Accounts"

If you do not have any accounts added to Outlook, you can simply select "Add Email Account" on the right hand side of the window. If you already have another email account added to Outlook, you will have to select the "+" icon on the bottom left of the screen, then select "New Account..."

Enter your Salem email in the box that appears, then click "Continue."

A new window should open after you click "Continue," asking you for your Salem email password, enter it, then click "Sign in."

You should see a screen following that says "Connecting to Office365," then it should have a prompt that says "[email] has been added."

Once you see that screen, you can either add other email accounts to your computer, or select "Done" to get into your emails.
