    Yes, it is possible to add or sync your office email to Office 365. Here's how you can do it:

    1. Open the Outlook app on your computer and click on the "File" tab.
    2. Click on "Add Account" and then select "Exchange or Office 365".
    3. Enter your email address and click on "Connect".
    4. Enter your email password and click on "OK".
    5. Outlook will then try to connect to your Office 365 account and set it up for you.

    Once you have set up your Office 365 account in Outlook, you can start using it to send and receive emails.

    To restore or migrate your email data from Office 2016 to Office 365, you can use the Import/Export wizard in Outlook. Here's how:

    1. Open the Outlook app on your computer and click on the "File" tab.
    2. Click on "Open & Export" and then select "Import/Export".
    3. Select "Export to a file" and then click on "Next".
    4. Select "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and then click on "Next".
    5. Select the items that you want to export (such as your emails, contacts, and calendar) and then click on "Next".
    6. Choose a location where you want to save the exported data file and then click on "Finish".
    7. Once the export is complete, you can import the data file into your Office 365 account by following the same steps but selecting "Import from another program or file" instead of "Export to a file" in step 3.

    Note that the process of importing and exporting data can take some time, depending on the amount of data you have. It's also a good idea to backup your data before making any changes, just in case anything goes wrong.

    Hi @Mark Kim ,

    In order to further confirm your question, do you want to synchronize your account in outlook 365 or import the data file of the original account to the new account?

    1.If you want to synchronize your account in Outlook 365 What type of account are you referring to for office email? Exchange or O365 or other mail provider account?

    If it is an Exchange or O365 account, you only need to connect to your account in Outlook, and the email will be automatically synchronized without you needing to migrate data files. Just refer to this link to add email account: Add an email account to Outlook

    2.If you want to move Outlook items from one email account to another email account

    step1: Export or backup email, contacts, and calendar to an Outlook .pst file

    step2: Import email, contacts, and calendar from an Outlook .pst file
