Below, step by step tutorials according to the Outlook version used, which you can usually check when opening Outlook or in the Help menu/About. There's also a website with a generic Outlook setup which can be useful, so you can view screenshots.
Also notice that if this is the first time you open Outlook since its installation, a window will immediately pop up asking you to set up your email account. Click yes and proceed and follow our instructions starting with a section in which you start typing in your account data.
Finally, as per our tests, sent items and trash are automatically saved in IMAP folders, except in older Outlook 2003. Nonetheless, information about this is available for Sent Items and Trash, especially useful if your Outlook is not in English and you want to manually define folders used for these base folders. Notice that our Webmail automatically decodes the English default names (Sent, Trash, Drafts, Spam) so that it shows them in the language in which you accessed Webmail. In some cases, however, it might be required to change folder mappings in Webmail, if Outlook does not do this conversion automatically, besides mapping the localized names in your Outlook.
Depending on the size of your mailbox and your Internet speed, Outlook might take from a few hours to a few days to synchronize the mailbox and build the local PST file.
Note that Outlook will automatically set up the account as IMAP. If you want to set up the account as POP, you have to set up the account manually. IMAP is recommended, as it´s a protocol made to support several devices accessing one same account, with all folders synced at our server, which also guarantees that our backups will be executed.
Unfortunately, this version of Outlook doesn't support Autodiscover for IMAP accounts anymore.
