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 "Settings."

3

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

4

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

5

On the 'Add Account' page, enter your Porkbun email address and click the 'Continue' button.

6

At this point Outlook may automatically detect your account settings and take you to an IMAP setup page, where you can just enter your account password and then clock the 'Add Account' button.

If you reached that point, you are done!

If Outlook does not detect your account as IMAP automatically, you may need to select the option for an IMAP/POP account, then enter the following settings.

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."

Click the "Done" button to complete the setup.

That's it! Outlook for macOS is now configured to send and receive from your custom email address.
