How to set up your email address in Microsoft Outlook for MacOS

Want to be able to send and receive emails at your Porkbun-hosted email address? If you're a Mac user and you're using Microsoft Outlook for Mac*, here's how:

1

Create an email address using your domain.

2

Open Outlook. From the Outlook menu, select "Preferences."

3

In the "Outlook Preferences" panel select "Accounts."

4

At the lower right corner of the Accounts panel click the Plus + icon and select "New Account."

5

On the "Set Up Your Email" screen, type in your Porkbun email address and click "Continue".

6

Outlook will think for a moment and then display "Sorry! We couldn't find a match." Select the IMAP/POP icon to continue to the manual setup screen.

Here you'll need to specify some additional settings manually:

• Type should default to IMAP.
• Email address and Username are both the full Email Address.
• Enter the password you created.
• Incoming Mail server is imap.porkbun.com
  • Port: 993, Check "Use SSL to connect."
• Outgoing Mail server is smtp.porkbun.com
  • Port: 587, Check "Use SSL to connect."

Click "Add Account."
