How Do I Change the Email Server Settings in Outlook?

You can modify the email server settings in Outlook to connect to a different email provider or customize your email experience. Here's how:

1. Accessing Account Settings

Open Outlook: Launch the Outlook application on your computer.
Click File: Navigate to the "File" tab in the top-left corner of the Outlook window.
Select Account Settings: Choose "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.
Open Account Settings: In the "Account Settings" dialog box, select "Account Settings" again.

Select Your Account: Choose the email account you want to modify from the list.
Click Change: Select the "Change" button to access the account settings.
Edit Server Information: You'll see fields for both incoming and outgoing mail servers. Enter the correct server addresses provided by your email provider.
Enter Credentials: If required, input your username and password for your email account.
Save Changes: Click "Next" and then "Finish" to save the updated settings.

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP or POP3): This is the server that receives your emails.
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): This is the server that sends your emails.
Port Numbers: These numbers specify the communication channels used by the servers.

If you encounter issues connecting to your email account after changing the settings, double-check the following:

Correct Server Addresses: Verify that you entered the correct server addresses for your email provider.
Port Numbers: Ensure you're using the correct port numbers for your email provider.
Firewall Settings: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking Outlook from connecting to the email servers.

For specific server addresses and port numbers, consult your email provider's website or support documentation.
