Outlook: Configure Microsoft Outlook 2016 on a Mac

Question

How do I configure my Outlook email client on MacOS to view my YSU emails?

Answer

Required Items:

  • Microsoft Outlook desktop application.
    • If you need to install the Microsoft Office suite on a personal device, please see this guide here 
    • If you are on a YSU-owned device, the Office suite should be pre-installed already.

 

  1. Launch Microsoft Outlook. You can locate and launch Microsoft Outlook by selecting the Finder icon located on your dock.

  2. Select Applications located on the menu on your left, and double-click  Microsoft Outlook

    • ​​​​​​​

  3.  If this is the first time launching the application you will be presented with a Welcome to Outlook screen. If you have previously launched Outlook or already have another account configured select the Tools menu, then the Accounts option. 

  4. Enter your full email address (i.e. username@student.ysu.edu if you are a student or username@ysu.edu if you are an employee)

  5. Check the box to make Outlook the default application for mail, calendar, and contacts.

  6. Click the Add Account button.

 

If you are unable to successfully set up your email in Microsoft Outlook for Mac, please record the error message you receive and submit a service request or contact the YSU Service Desk at 330-941-1595 or servicedesk@ysu.edu.
