  1. Click 'Manual Config' and enter outlook.office365.com for the Incoming server name and smtp.office365.com for the Outgoing server names. For the Username field input your entire U-Mail e-mail address. Select port 993 and select SSL/TLS for Incoming. Select port 587 and select STARTTLS for Outgoing. Click 'Done'. Select Normal password for both Incoming and Outgoing, then click 'Create Account'.
