How to add a Plesk email account in Microsoft Outlook.
If you have a different Outlook version or flavor, see instructions for Outlook 365, Outlook 2010, or Outlook Express 6.
You can set up Microsoft Office Outlook automatically (using the mail autodiscover feature) or manually.
Outlook 2019 and later versions use Microsoft proxy servers for autodiscover requests, which is not supported in Plesk and the Plesk Premium Email extension. The last desktop version from the Microsoft Office suite that supports autodiscover is Office 2016.
To set up Microsoft Office Outlook 2016 automatically:
1. Open Microsoft Office Outlook 2016.
2. Go to **File** \> **Add Account**.
3. Enter your email address, and click **Connect**.
4. Enter your password, and click **Connect**.
5. Wait a while until Microsoft Office Outlook completes the setup, and click **OK**.
To set up Microsoft Office Outlook 2016 manually:
1. Open Microsoft Office Outlook 2016.
2. Go to **File** \> **Add Account**.
3. Select **Manual setup or additional server types**, and then click **Next**.
4. Select the **POP** or **IMAP** option and then click **Next**.
5. Specify the following:
- Your name.
- Your email address.
- **Account type**. If you want to keep copies of messages on the server, select the IMAP option. If you do not want to keep any messages on the server, select the POP3 option. Selecting IMAP will also allow you to train the SpamAssassin spam filter on email messages you receive, provided SpamAssassin is enabled on the server.
- **Incoming mail server**. Type your domain name. For example, example.com.
- **Outgoing mail server (SMTP)**. Type your domain name. For example, example.com.
- **User Name**. Specify your full email address. Example: johndoe@example.com.
- **Password**. This password probably coincides with the password you use for logging in to Plesk.
- **Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)**. Leave this option cleared.
6. Click **More Settings**, open the “Outgoing Server” tab and select **My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication**.
7. Click **Next**.
8. Click **Finish**.
