The Unixmail mailbox can also be used under Outlook. To do this, it must be integrated via IMAP. We offer you these step-by-step instructions for this.

Important note: These instructions have been translated word by word, so some names in Windows or Outlook may differ from the names in the instructions. However, the pictures serve as a guide.

This guide consists of two parts:

Step 1: Create app password

Step 2: Include mail account in Outlook

Optional: Set up for Outlook 2016 users
