For increased security, we recommend that you use our secure (SSL) servers, as detailed below. Note: If your internal system configurations require non-SSL ports, please see the "Email Server Settings" page for our full list of available servers and ports.

  1. In Outlook, select “Tools” / “Accounts.”
  2. Click the “Add” button, and select “Mail” from the resulting menu.
