Introduction

If you upgraded from a previous version of Outlook, your settings should import into Outlook 2016, and you will have to log in after opening the program.

If you are not upgrading from an older version of Outlook, you will have to set up your email account when opening Outlook 2016 for the first time.

Create a Profile

This New Profile window may pop up as you launch Outlook. Follow these instructions to set up a new profile.

Note: If this is not the first time you have launched Outlook, you may already have a profile. For more information about the Outlook profile, consult this article about Outlook 2016 Windows profile creation.

1. Start the Outlook application.
2. Type in a name (e.g. alumnimail) in the Profile Name text field.
   
   
   
3. Click on OK to create the profile.
    

Remove an existing UTmail+ email account

If you have an existing UTmail+ account set up on your device, please delete your existing UTmail+ account from your device before adding it.

Set up your UTmail+ email account

1. With the Outlook application launched, you will be greeted with the Welcome screen. Enter your Email address. For alumni, this would be firstname.lastname@alumni.utoronto.ca
   
   
   
2. Click on the Connect button.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Advanced setup screen for choosing the account type, select Exchange.
