I am trying to add my work email to Outlook.

Question

I am trying to add my work email to Outlook.

Anonymous

I just started with a small business so they do not have in house IT support. I am already in Outlook using my personal email on my new laptop, but when I try to add my work email it tells me that this is a private domain, and to please choose a new email to add.

The password is the new mail account password that you are adding.

You did only enter the email address & password & not select Manual setup?

This work Ex mail account is it Online (Web access) only Office/Outlook?

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately that didn't work either. Which password is it asking for? It says to enter the password that my internet provider has issued? I'm very confused here, and normally I'm at least somewhat tech savvy. I registered my 365 subscription through my personal email, and I set up my new laptop as personal (again small business, so they don't have an IT team to control my laptop anyway). My gmail account is already on Outlook (personal account), and I'm trying to add my work email to Outlook. My boss gave me a password for my email, but when I enter that using your instructions above it says "an encrypted connection to your mail server is not available"
