Tips and More Information

Connecting to an Exchange server with the information from above is possible so long as the email client supports Exchange. Some examples include Microsoft Outlook for Windows and Mac, Outlook for iOS and Android, and other email applications like iOS Mail and eM Client.

As an alternative to Outlook.com Exchange access, you can also set up an email program to download mail from Outlook.com using the IMAP or using POP protocols. IMAP and POP are less convenient, though, and are limited to email-only access.

To send mail through the email program, you need to use SMTP settings, since POP and IMAP only cover downloading messages.
