New Outlook for Windows

Microsoft’s newer Outlook, out since 2023. It replaced the Windows Mail app from 2025 and comes on many new Windows 11 PCs. See Set up email in new Outlook for Windows.

Before you start

You’ll need your email address, your mailbox password and your server name. See Email settings: server names and ports.

Add your mailbox

  1. Click File, then Add Account

    In Outlook, click File at the top left. On the Info page, click Add Account.

    File › Info › Add Account
    File › Info › Add Account
  2. Type your email and choose manual setup

    Type your full email address. Click Advanced options, tick Let me set up my account manually, then click Connect.

    Your email, Let me set up my account manually, then Connect
    Your email, Let me set up my account manually, then Connect
  3. Choose IMAP

    Under Advanced setup, click IMAP. Don’t choose Microsoft 365 or Exchange: your Tasjeel.ae email isn’t Exchange.

    Choose IMAP
    Choose IMAP
  4. If Outlook asks for your servers, fill them in

    Outlook often finds your settings by itself and skips this. If it shows Incoming mail and Outgoing mail, enter your server name, port 993 with SSL/TLS for incoming, and port 465 with SSL/TLS for outgoing, then click Next.

    Server name or mail.yourdomain.ae?

    Use mail.yourdomain.ae only if your domain points to your Tasjeel.ae hosting. Use your server name (such as finyaan.tasjeel.ae) if any of these apply: your website is hosted somewhere else (such as Shopify or Wix) · your domain uses Cloudflare · your DNS is managed outside Tasjeel.ae · your app says it can’t verify the server or its certificate. Whichever you choose, use the same one for incoming and outgoing.

  5. Type your password

    Enter your mailbox password and click Connect.

    Your password, then Connect
    Your password, then Connect
  6. Finish

    You’ll see Account successfully added. Untick Set up Outlook Mobile on my phone, too unless you want it, then click Done. Your mailbox appears in the folder list on the left.

    Account successfully added: untick Outlook Mobile, then Done
    Account successfully added: untick Outlook Mobile, then Done

Check or change your settings later

Click File › Account Settings › Account Settings…, select your email address and click Change…. Here you can update your password or switch to your server name.

Common questions

Outlook keeps asking for my password.

The password saved in Outlook is wrong or out of date, often after it was changed in cPanel or webmail. Update it under File › Account Settings › Account Settings… › Change….

Outlook says it can’t connect, or shows a certificate warning.

Change both servers to your server name, such as finyaan.tasjeel.ae. See Email settings: server names and ports.

Should I choose Microsoft 365 or Exchange?

No. Your Tasjeel.ae email works with IMAP. Microsoft 365 and Exchange are Microsoft’s own email services.
