How do I setup Outlook 2013

I just downloaded Office 2013 and want to configure Outlook for my email.  for some reason it keeps getting hungup on the outbound server.  Can anyone provide the full details (once and for all)?

That solution assumes we know what to select wherever you write select.

Which link no longer works?  The one from several years ago that I said was outdated two years ago?  Or the one from two years ago that I just confirmed does work: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/email-support/KM1010491

>>Which link

 

The original article  

 

"Please reference this document for Outlook 2013 set up instructions: https://getsocial.att.com/docs/DOC-1295"

 

The link you sent gets me to a very general page with many topics, none of which are setup Outlook 2013.

 

So here is what Outlook 13 asks TODAY

 

Email Account or Manual Setup or additional server types?

Using email account option it asks Name, email, password twice

It then takes me to a screen that pre-fills imap.mail.att.,net  as Server

 

Trying to continue from here gets me a message that a test e-mail message coud not be sent.

 

Let's try manual setup 

 

Choices of Microsoft Exchange Server or compatible service

Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync compatible service

POP or IMAP

 

suppose I choose POP or IMAP

 

The fields I need help with are:

 

Account Type: POP3 or IMAP?

incoming mail server

Outgoing mail server (SMTP)

Require logon using SPA

 

Knowing these answers would really help.

 

I thank you kindly if you or anyone can help,.

 

Regards,

@mountpaul:

The link @JefferMC sent you is the correct current link.  It should be obvious to anyone using the internet through a web browser how to navigate it!  You really can't figure it out? Man Surprised  I guess you need step by step instructions to get to the Outlook 2013 step by step instructions!

 

  • Go to that page Jeff referenced in your browser.
  • Near the top of the resulting page click Outlook 2013 in the "software" popup menu.
  • Read the instructions including the infor about the secure mail key and particularly the Set up Outlook 2013 for AT&T email.
