In this guide, you will learn how to set up a TU Dresden email account in Microsoft Outlook for macOS. You can then send and receive emails, view your calendar and continue to set up your personal certificate for signing and encryption.


Setup

 

  1. Open Outlook on your Mac. Check via "Outlook" -> "About" or "About Outlook" which version of Outlook you are using. If you are using a version older than 16.72, you can continue from point 5. If you are using version 16.72 or newer, please go to point 2. 
    Microsoft has added a new layout with the latest version, which does not yet support Exchange. Therefore, you have to use the "old Outlook".  

  2. Click on "Outlook" and select "New Outlook".
