Question

How do I add Optonline email account to Outlook in order to access my emails?

Answer 1

To add an Optonline email account in new Outlook for Windows, use the standard “add account” flow. Optonline works like any other non-Microsoft email provider (typically as an IMAP or POP account).

Follow these steps in new Outlook for Windows:

1. Open Outlook.
2. On the View tab, select View settings, or from the File tab, select Account info.
3. Select Accounts > Your accounts.
4. Under Email accounts, select Add Account.
5. In the box, type your full Optonline email address (for example, ******@optonline.net) and select Continue.
6. When prompted, enter the password for the Optonline mailbox and complete any additional prompts, then select Done.

If Outlook cannot automatically detect the settings, use the Advanced options (if shown) and choose manual setup (IMAP or POP) and enter the incoming/outgoing server details provided by Optonline’s support site, then finish the wizard.

After the account is added, emails from the Optonline mailbox will appear in Outlook, and the account can be managed under Accounts > Your accounts.
