To add an Exchange E-mail account to the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps:

Click File

Click Account Settings
On the E-mail tab, click New
Enter your email address
Click Connect
NOTE: Outlook will go through a standard process called Auto Discover. This can take several minutes.
On the Advanced setup screen, select Exchange 2013 or earlier
Outlook will begin a second Auto Discover process - this too can take several minutes
IMPORTANT! You will be prompted for a password

Notice in the image above, the Connecting to address and the username (just below it) are not the same. The username must match the Connecting to address. The Connecting to address should be the email address you are setting up. If not, cancel the process and start again.

To change the username:

- Enter the correct username (again, it must match the Connecting to address)
- Enter the password for you account

- Click OK
This process can take several minutes.

Once the account is setup in Outlook you may use the "Remember" checkbox to automatically sign you in.
