Latest revision as of 15:07, 3 October 2019

Note - this is for Microsoft Outlook 2016, as it ships with Microsoft Office (it has a blue icon). This does not include Outlook Express (blue and white icon), which is installed by default on Windows XP - see the Outlook Express for instructions or Microsoft Outlook 2013 which has a yellow icon.

Start Microsoft Outlook
Click on File
Click on Add Account
Enter in your Bravenet email address and click Connect
Choose IMAP
Enter in your Bravenet email address password and click Connect
Now click Done

That should do it, and your email account should now work correctly.

Make sure to send a test email to another email address you have access to to verify that everything is set up correctly.
