In most cases, you won’t need to manually set up your account if you connect to an Exchange server. Its recommend to try again if your first setup attempt fails.

  1. Select Manual setup or additional server types, and click Next.

    Use manual setup in Outlook 2013

  2. Select Microsoft Exchange Server or compatible service, and click Next.

  3. Type the Exchange server name. 

  4. To use Cached Exchange Mode, check Use Cached Exchange Mode. Cached Exchange Mode allows you to work with items in your Exchange mailbox even when your network connection is slow or unavailable.

  5. In the User Name box, type your user name.

  6. Optionally, do any of the following:

    • Click More Settings. On any of the tabs, select the options you want or the ones your Exchange administrator tells you to change.

    • Click Check Names to verify the server recognizes your name and your computer is connected to the network. The server and account names you specified in steps 3 and 5 should become underlined. If your name isn’t underlined, refer to this solution for server settings: https://resqtechs.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/5000684744-outlook-settings-for-pop-and-imap-access-for-office-365-for-business-or-microsoft-exchange-accounts
