As you all know that I had just switched to Outlook after using Mozilla Thunderbird over 5 years.
The main problem I faced in Outlook is that it cant detect my Google Apps accounts server which Thunderbird did, So in that case I had to manually configure the servers.
If you also facing such problems then here is the solution :-
- Launch Outlook and the click on File –> Info and then click on Add Account,
- Now a new dialog box comes which ask some of your information, just click on Manually Configure Server Settings,
- Now click on Internet Email,
- Now your setting will go like this :-
Name :- Your Name
Email Address :- Google Apps Email Address which you wanna add,
Account Type :- IMAP,
Incoming Mail Server :- imap.googlemail.com
Outgoing Mail Server :- smtp.googlemail.com
Username :- Your Full Email Address which you wanna add,
Password :- Your Password
- Once you done click on the More Setting button on the right side on the same window, in Outgoing Server Tab check option saying My Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires Authentication,
- Now Click on Advance Tab and
Incoming Server Port :- 993,
Encrypted Option :- SSL
Outgoing Server Port :- 465,
Encrypted Option :- SSL
- That’s it now click OK and then on Next, Outlook will test setting and if you had followed above steps correctly then Outlook will add your Google Apps Account.
