Add my Microsoft 365 email to Outlook on Windows


Step 3 of the Set up my Microsoft 365 account series.

Add your Microsoft 365 email to Outlook on your Windows computer. Then you can send and receive email on the go.


There are now 2 versions of Outlook for Windows: new Outlook and classic Outlook. Check which version you’re using, and then select the appropriate tab.

Required: To use new Outlook for Windows, it must be activated with a Work or school account licensed for Office desktop apps. For Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy plans, it must be a Business Professional or higher plan (upgrade my email plan). However, the license can be provided by any Work or school account.

Upon activation, you can add additional email plans, such as Email Essentials, Email Plus, or Online Business Essentials.
