If you are using Office 365 or other Exchange-based email, you can find your POP3 and IMAP4 server settings by
using Outlook Web App. Connecting to your account using POP3 and IMAP4 lets you send and receive email.
TIP You cant access your contacts, tasks, or calendar when you connect to your account using POP3 or IMAP4.
We recommend that you connect to your account using Exchange ActiveSync.

If youre connecting to your Office 365 email, you dont need to look up your settings. For Office 365, use the
following settings.
SERVER NAME

PORT

ENCRYPTION METHOD

POP3

outlook.office365.com

995

SSL

IMAP4

outlook.office365.com

993

SSL

SMTP

smtp.office365.com

587

TLS

If youre not connecting to Office 365 email, do the following to look up your settings.
1. In Outlook Web App, click Settings

> Options > Account > My account.

2. On the My account page, click Settings for POP or IMAP access.

3. The POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP server name and other settings you may need to enter are listed on the Settings
for POP or IMAP Access page under POP setting or IMAP setting, and SMTP setting.

The POP, IMAP, and SMTP server names for Office 365 users shown earlier in this article applies to accounts
that are on the latest version of Office 365 (sometimes referred to as Office 365 after the service upgrade). If
your account is not on the latest version of Office 365 (sometimes referred to as Office 365 pre-upgrade), you
need to look up your own POP, IMAP, and SMTP settings. Check out Am I using Office 365 after the service
upgrade? to determine if your account is on the latest version of Office 365.
Although you can connect to your account using POP3 or IMAP4, we recommend that you connect to your
account using Exchange ActiveSync because Exchange ActiveSync supports more features than POP3 and
IMAP4. Desktop email programs that support Exchange ActiveSync include Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010,
Outlook 2013, Outlook for Mac 2011, Windows 8 Mail, Apple Mail, and Entourage.
For desktop email program setup instructions, see Email program setup reference.
For mobile device and tablet setup instructions, see Phone and tablet setup reference.
If the server settings for POP server, IMAP server, and SMTP server dont show in the Outlook Web App
options, your account may not be set up to use POP or IMAP email programs. For more information, contact
the person who manages your email account.
