How To Update Outlook App On Mac

One of the upsides of using native apps is that they’re generally designed to blend in nicely with the look for the operating system, but sometimes native apps aren’t as good as some third-party alternatives out there. If you’re a macOS user who thinks that maybe Microsoft’s Outlook could stand to be updated, you’re in luck.

With iOS and iPadOS 14 available as of today, Microsoft has updated its Outlook app for iOS devices to enable support for the new iOS 14 feature that lets third-party mail and browser apps be set.

This is because Microsoft has announced that the redesign of the Outlook app for Mac will be arriving this October. For those who haven’t heard, the company has actually been working on a redesign of its Outlook for Mac app since last year, and it looks like the company is now ready to get it launched as soon as this October.

According to Microsoft, one of the main changes that they’ll be making to the app in terms of its design is to help it better blend in with the upcoming macOS Big Sur update.

According to Microsoft, “The new Outlook for Mac has been crafted specifically for the Mac, including the latest macOS Big Sur. You will find rounded corners in the buttons, message list, and conversation pane that are influenced by Big Sur. The light, airy design utilizes white surfaces for increased contrast on text and icons. This helps Outlook feels natural on the OS while still nesting well with elements from Microsoft’s design language.”

Apple has yet to officially announce a release date for macOS Big Sur, but with Microsoft claiming that Outlook’s new design will arrive in October, we have to wonder if this could also be a sign of when Big Sur will be released as well. Given that macOS Catalina was also released in October back in 2019, perhaps an October release of Big Sur isn’t that much of a stretch.

When you install and run Outlook for the first time, you'll be prompted to add an email account. Without one, you can't send or receive any email.

However, once you've added your first account, it can be difficult to remember how to add another.

Here's how to add an email account to Outlook, whether you're using it on your PC or Mac.

How to add an email account to Outlook on your PC

1. Click 'File' in the top-left, and then click 'Add Account.'

2. In the pop-up window, you can enter the email address of the account you want to add and click 'Connect.' If you want to set up the account manually, click 'Advanced options,', then click 'Connect.' If Outlook recognizes your email account, it will ask you to enter your password and complete the setup.

If it's a straightforward webmail account (like Gmail), Outlook can usually do it automatically. If you're configuring an IMAP or Microsoft Exchange account, though, it's often faster to choose to do it manually.

3. If you need to configure your account manually, choose the type of account you're setting up. The most common options include Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, POP, and IMAP. You can find this information using Google to figure out what type of email account you have.

4. Follow the remaining instructions to configure the account. Depending on the type of email account you're adding, you may need to specify the incoming and outgoing email server names, port numbers and encryption methods. You can get all these details from your email provider's website or technical support. If you are adding an Exchange server to Outlook, you might need to get the details from your IT department or network administrator.
