Sending from your own address in Outlook

Same idea as with Gmail: you keep the mailbox you already use, and only the name on the envelope changes.

You need two things from us first: your address and its password.

Add the address

1. Open Outlook and go to Settings, then Accounts, then Email accounts.
2. Choose Add account.
3. Type your new address and click Continue.
4. When Outlook asks for the provider, choose IMAP.

Fill in the servers

Click Show more and enter:

• Incoming (IMAP): imap.migadu.com, port 993, connection SSL/TLS
• Outgoing (SMTP): smtp.migadu.com, port 465, connection SSL/TLS
• Username, both times: your full email address
• Password, both times: the one we sent you

Click Continue and Outlook checks the connection.

Watch out for typos

Two mistakes account for almost every failed login: a capital I and a lowercase l look identical in most fonts, and copying a password often drags a space along with it. Type it out once by hand before you conclude that something is broken.

On a Mac

Outlook for Mac takes the same route: Settings, Accounts, the + sign, your address, then Sync directly with IMAP and the same four fields under the advanced settings.
