Microsoft Outlook For Mac For Office 365 Outlook

This document will provide instructions on how to use the search function within Outlook for Mac.

Finding an E-mail

There are many different types of email accounts you can add to Outlook, including Microsoft 365, Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, and Exchange accounts. Some third-party email providers, like Gmail, Yahoo, and iCloud, require you to change some settings on their websites before you can add these accounts to Outlook. If you're the Microsoft 365 admin of an Office for business plan, users in your organization can only install Office using the steps in this topic as long as your plan includes the desktop version of Office, and you've assigned the user a license and given them permission to install Office (Manage software download settings in Microsoft 365).

Jess begins with a tour of the brand-new Outlook for Mac interface and shows how to connect to Office 365 and Gmail email accounts.
