Add an email account in Microsoft Outlook for Mac
If you have web hosting with mijn.host and have already created an email account, you can add this created email account in Microsoft Outlook for Mac. You can therefore use this manual if you have installed Microsoft Outlook for Mac on an Apple device (iMac/MacBook). For Windows this is the same, but the views and menus are slightly different.
1. Add new email account
Open the Microsoft Outlook for Mac application. Navigate to the main menu, and click on the Outlook menu item. Click on Preferences here.
The preferences screen will now open. Click on "Accounts" here, then click on the + icon at the bottom left, and choose "New account..."
2. Enter email address
In the next screen, enter the email address of the account you have created and click on "Continue".
3. Enter server settings
Type: | IMAP |
Email address | Enter your email address here |
Username | Enter your email address here |
Password | Enter the password of your email account here |
Incoming email server | mail.uw-domein.nl Replace uw-domein.nl with your actual domain name *Please note: if your domain name is not registered with mijn.host, you need to enter the server where your hosting package is located here. |
Outgoing email server | mail.uw-domein.nl |
Now click on "Add account". The account will now be added.
Then check if the outgoing email settings are configured correctly by clicking on 'More options':
Are you using the newer version of Outlook for Mac ("New Outlook")? Then it may happen that outgoing mail is sent slowly or not at all, or that attachments cannot be opened. This is because the new Outlook routes email traffic through Microsoft serversinstead of directly via our mail server. Switch to the classic Outlook view using the toggle at the top of the blue bar, see the screenshot below for reference.
Note: after switching back, your email account may have disappeared. Add it again using the steps above.
