Why am I unable to add an outlook (email) account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?

Why am I unable to add an outlook account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?
I recently opened an outlook email account which I have paired with my phone. Which is probably because on the Iphone there is an option for “outlook” when setting up an email account. However, when I go to add the email account to my imac there is no option for “outlook”. There is however an option for “exchange” which I may have tried to use however it asks for server information which I do not have.
I also tried to populate the add another account feature however it still don’t seem to recognise the email account.
Can some help? What am I do wrong? v

The OP is talking about an Outlook.COM Email address. Not MS Office Outlook.
To the OP:
You have not entered the Outlook.com Server addresses correctly.

Outlook is a Microsoft application, part of MS Office, its not an email service.
You will need to enter the logon information (username, password and the name of the incoming and outgoing server names). The ISP that provides your email service, ie Virgin Google Yahoo will have this information on their website support page.

  • When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac

    When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac computer. It also moved my AccountEdge accounting file into the Old Firefox data file on my desktop along with all the backups. There are also Microsoft user data files and some Word documents in that file too. I hope you can help because I don't know how to put these files back where they belong.

    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] this would help for the files associated with Firefox.
    However as for the Outlook email, you can restore them with these instructions [http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/Restore_Outlook_Mail_Contacts_and_Other_Data_from_a_Backup.htm]
    I am not entirely familiar with the storage of outlook files in Firefox.

  • Im tryin got set up my outlook email account on my iphone but its asking for a "server" i dont no what this means?

    i'm trying to add my outlook email account to my iphone3gs but when i've typed all the information in it
    comes up with "server" i've looked around to find out what this means but i just dont no, what do i type there?
    or how do i atleast find out what to type there?

    Check with your company or email provider for the server. If you use a webmail, the server is also hidden sometimes in the advanced options. Are you using Outlook Web Access or some other email service that you use with the outlook application?

  • How can i add my outlook email to my ipad without useing the Exchange Service?

    Please help me in this, How can i add my outlook email to my ipad without useing the Exchange Service?

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

    I tried to add funds to my PSN account with my debit card. but seems like it did not work.it showed "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later."and also i found there's $1 pending transaction on my bank account. WTH is going on?how can i fix this problem?and I'm pretty sure the billing info on my PSN account is EXACTLY as same as the one on me bank statment.The transaction pending is the way that PSN validates your account. It attempts to withdraw, then deposit £1 or $1 then refund it.  If you are unable to do it yourself on the PS3, try waiting 24 hours as you may have inadvertantly triggered the lockout. (several attempts that fail will lock it for 24 hours). If after waiting it still doesn't work, give customer support a call and see if they can help. The EU numbers are available here.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem. It just recently occured though. I used my old debit card with no problem at all and purchased a bunch of games in the Playstation Store, however I lost my DC a week ago and got a new one. Obviously I changed my billing information and that's when the problem started.
    1) I see a small pending transaction to Playstation Network which proves that my data that I put in was correct.
    2) Called the bank which confirmed that I have enough funds for the purchase and also confirmed that my card is active.
    3) Tried to buy a game in Google's Playstore for my phone, which also refers to that same DC number and had no problems.
    4) Contacted PSN/SEN customer support and got no response.
    I would buy PSN cards if I could but since I am currently living in Thailand i need to say that it is really hard to find one. I am not even sure if there are PSN cards for the Thai region, since if I do see some they are for the US region. Thus I am really dependent on my DC purchases.
    Any way of solving this?
    The billing address for your card must match the residential address on your PSN account for the transaction to complete.
    Are they both registered to the same address?

    You may have been infected by malware that you downloaded and installed.  The download was probably called "FlashPlayer.pkg".  If you still have it please don't trash it quite yet.  For the benefit of others in this community can you please upload it to http://www.virustotal.com.  Once you have done that copy the ID and report it back here along with the exact name of the file that you uploaded.
    If the results do not show anything in the status column next to ClamAV can you also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and in the description box include the keyword "macos".  If you know the name of the site where you downloaded it from, that would also be useful.  Then you should trash it so you won't be tempted to run it again.
    A description of this malware along with instructions on fixing it can be found here: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_bash_qhost_wb.shtml
    Thanks in advance and let us know how it goes.

  • HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

    To start with, you're asking in the wrong forum. I'd suggest that you ask in the Creative Suite forum.
    Second, when you post it there, you should describe your operating system version.
    However, I'd say that it's just about impossible that installing the Creative Suite could delete an email account.

  • Cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone5

    i cannot add my yahoo email account to my iphone5. I have been trying for many times and it keeps saying "Yahoo server is unavailable". I can access my email on my computer, and was also able to add another email account to my iphone5, but not the yahoo account.

    Hello laurataylor and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Is this Outlook account being integrated using the Outlook Web Acccess (OWA) protocol?
    Have a look at KB02858 for issue integrating an OWA account
    Also, you may need to have your IT Admin take a look at some Firewall settings to allow connection to the BlackBerry Internet Service infrastructure.
    KB11036 give the firewall connection requirements needed.

  • How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

    How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

    I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
    Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
    Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

    When I click on the AOL icon on "Select an email account to add" and follow the prompts, I get a message saying "system is unable to support the request".  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..
