# Add your email to Outlook

Add your Inleed email address to classic Outlook on Windows, so you can read and send your email there.

## Before you start

- Have the email address and the email account’s password ready. The username is the full email address.

## Email client settings

- **Account type:** IMAP
- **Server:** `mail.inleed.com`
- **Username:** The full email address
- **Password:** The email account’s password
- **Incoming (IMAP):** Port 993, SSL/TLS
- **Outgoing (SMTP):** Port 465, SSL/TLS
- **Outgoing server requires login:** Yes, the same as incoming

## How to add your email

1. Open **Outlook (classic)** and choose **File › Add Account**.

   Not **Outlook (new)**. It requires an app password, and Inleed doesn’t have those.

2. Enter your email address, open the advanced options and tick the box for setting up your account manually.

   Then click **Connect**.

3. Choose **IMAP**.

4. Fill in the servers from the settings and click **Next**.

5. Enter the email account’s password and click **Connect**.

## How to know it worked

Your inbox appears in Outlook.

## If something doesn’t work

### Outlook warns about the certificate

**Why:** The certificate is issued for `mail.inleed.com`, not for your domain.

**What to do:** Change the incoming and outgoing server to `mail.inleed.com`.

### I can’t send email

**What to do:** Check that the outgoing server has port 465, SSL/TLS and the same login as the incoming server.

### Outlook asks for an app password

**Why:** You’re using the new Outlook. It requires an app password, and Inleed doesn’t have those.

**What to do:** Use classic Outlook or another app, for example Thunderbird.

### Outlook won’t connect, although the settings are right

**Why:** The Outlook profile still holds old settings.

**What to do:** Create a new profile in Outlook and add the account there again.

## Good to know

- If you have Microsoft 365, add the account as a work or school account instead, not with IMAP.
