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.

  6. Fill in the servers

    In IMAP Incoming server, type your server name, port 993, SSL / TLS. Scroll down: SMTP username is your full email address, SMTP Outgoing server is the same server name, port 465, SSL / TLS. Leave SMTP password empty if it’s the same as your mailbox password. Click Continue.

    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.

New Outlook keeps a copy of your email in Microsoft’s cloud. Your email still lives in your Tasjeel.ae mailbox as well. If you’d rather it didn’t, use classic Outlook or another mail app.

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The password saved in Outlook is wrong or out of date, often after it was changed in cPanel or webmail. Remove the account under ⋯ › Settings › Accounts › Manage, then add it again with the new password.

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.
