A note before you start: Outlook is a paid licensed software that can be downloaded & set up on your computer. On your Windows computer, the icon should look similar to this one.
You can find the software by clicking the start button on the bottom left of your screen and typing ‘Outlook’ to see if you have it installed.
If you can’t find Outlook on your computer, not to worry – all new Windows computers have a free version called Windows Mail. You can find the tutorial to set up Windows Mail here:
Click File…
Click Add Account…
The Outlook wizard for setting up a new account will open. Here, we’ve created an example email example@dentons1.co.uk.

- Click Connect.
Choose the account type IMAP.
Fill in the following settings:
- Incoming mail:

Choose port 993 and check the Encryption method as SSL/TLS - Outgoing mail:
Server: mail.yourdomainname.com (again, we’ve filled in ours here as mail.dentons1.co.uk)
Choose port 465 and check the Encryption method as SSL/TLS.
Fill in the password field and click Connect.
Your account will be added & you can click Done to use it as usual.
