Microsoft Outlook allows users to easily organize their email accounts, contacts, and messages conveniently in one place. It is particularly helpful for professionals or business owners who want a centralized management area for their mailbox.<\/p>

However, setting up Outlook can be tricky if you are using a custom email since you need to add various details to link the server. There are also different Outlook versions, each with a separate configuration process.<\/p>

In this article, we will explain how to set up Outlook with Hostinger’s email hosting plan using different Outlook versions, including mobile.<\/p>

Prerequisites for Setting Up Outlook<\/h2>

Before setting up Outlook, you need to complete a few steps to ensure a smooth configuration process.<\/p>

Create a Business Email Hosting<\/h3>

For Outlook, we recommend creating a professional email address<\/a> with a custom domain, like yourname@businessname.com<\/strong>. Compared to free addresses from Google or Webmail, it offers several benefits for your business.<\/p>

For instance, the custom domain makes your email appear more credible and legitimate. Such a mailbox is also better protected since the provider hosts it on a private server and typically adds extra safety features.<\/p>

For example, the Hostinger business email hosting plan<\/a>, starting at \u20a6900.00\/month<\/strong>, has built-in antivirus software and advanced anti-spam protection. Our email service also supports IMAP <\/strong>and POP<\/strong>, which Outlook needs to establish a connection with the mailing server.<\/p>

In addition to an email hosting plan, you need a domain name from a registrar. If you choose the Hostinger Business Premium plan, you don’t need to worry about that as you’ll get a domain name for free. Otherwise, we recommend buying a domain name from Hostinger to simplify the setup process since you can manage all services from hPanel<\/strong>.<\/p>

If you use Hostinger’s web hosting plan<\/a>, you will get a free email and a custom domain. This means you don’t need to buy additional services before setting up Outlook.<\/p>

Point Your Domain and Add MX Records<\/h3>

Pointing your domain ensures your email uses the correct server, enabling your mailbox to receive and send messages. At Hostinger, your domain should point to the right address by default. To check or change it, follow these steps:<\/p>

    \n
  1. Log in to hPanel<\/a> and select Domain<\/strong> from the top menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click Manage<\/strong> next to your email domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. From the sidebar, click DNS\/Nameservers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
