How to create a new Outlook Profile

  1. Exit Outlook.

  2. In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.

    Where is Mail in Control Panel?

    Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending on the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected, and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.

    The easiest way to locate Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the Search box at the top of window, type Mail.

    Note:  The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.

  3.  In the following pop-up, click 'Add...' to create a new email profile.

  4. Name your profile.  

  5. You will be asked for your name, email address, your password, and a password confirmation. Fill in the information, then click 'Next.'

  6. Auto Discover will find your server settings and auto connect you to your mailbox. Once the mailbox has been linked, you may be asked to confirm your settings again. It is recommended that you check the box labeled 'Save this password in your password list,' otherwise you will be asked to provide your password whenever you open Microsoft applications. Then, click 'OK.'

  7. Click 'Finish' once the account has been setup
