Setup your SunStar Media email account for Microsoft Outlook 365

Here are step-by-step instructions for setting up your email box using newer versions of Microsoft Outlook such as Outlook 365.

Note: These instructions are for "Classic Outlook" and not "New Outlook". For POP3 accounts, it is highly recommended that you switch to "Classic Outlook", using the below steps:

  1. In the New Outlook window, find the "New Outlook" toggle in the top-right corner.
  2. Toggle it OFF. The application will prompt you to switch back to the classic version.
  3. Note - If the option is not present in the top-right corner, open the "Help" tab (drop-down), and then choose "Go to Classic Outlook" from the menu.
  4. Once the classic application is open, add your account via File > Add Account and use the "Manual setup or additional server types" option.

1.) Open Outlook, and go to "File | Add Account".

  • Enter your Email address
  • Check "Let me set up my account manually"
  • Click "Connect".
