  • If you are using Outlook for the first time this step will be skipped. You will automatically be taken to Step 2.

Step 2: Enter Email

Enter in your business email address then click the Advanced Setup button. If it does not show initially, click Continue and the Advanced Setup button should show after a moment.

Step 3: Account Type

Select IMAP from the provided list.



Step 4: Account Information

Enter the password for your business email as the IMAP/POP Password. Keep in mind that the SMTP Username and Password are your business email address and the password for your business email. For the rest of the information enter following information:

  • Incoming Mail Server: mail.b.hostedemail.com

  • Port: 993

  • Encryption Method: SSL/TLS (from drop down)

  • Outgoing Mail Server: mail.b.hostedemail.com

  • Port: 465

  • Encryption Method: SSL/TLS (from drop down)

Step 5: Password & Connect

Once you click connect when verified you will show the account as successfully added and be taken to your connected inbox.

If the account is properly configured then the connection process is complete.

If you are receiving an error please ensure the password you are entering is correct as well as the Incoming and Outgoing server information.
