Setting up email on devices requires the right server names, usernames, passwords and protocol settings.
Key Points
- Before you start, confirm whether the mailbox should use IMAP or POP3 and which SMTP details apply.
- Use the full email address as the username unless your provider specifically says otherwise.
- SSL or TLS encryption should be enabled if your provider supports secure ports.
- If sending fails, check SMTP authentication because outgoing mail often requires the same login as incoming mail.
- Document the settings for each staff member so future replacements or device changes are easier.
Frequently Asked Questions

SMTP authentication, port settings or firewall restrictions are common causes.
Can I use one mailbox on multiple devices?

What if Outlook auto-setup fails?
