Here are the instructions to add and set up email on Windows 11:

- You will receive a success message. Click ‘Done’.
- You will enter the Outlook welcome screen, where you can add an email account. It displays supported services (Microsoft 365, Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, IMAP, POP) and suggests an email address. You click Continue to start setting it up.
- Enter the password.
- Then it will ask you to ‘sync your IMAP account’ with Microsoft Cloud so Outlook can store emails, contacts, and events. You can either click ‘Continue’ to proceed or ‘Cancel’ to stop.
- After the “Waiting for your email provider” screen, Outlook will either confirm your IMAP account setup successfully or prompt you for additional login/server settings if automatic connection fails.
Expert Tip:
We recommend using IMAP instead of POP3 because IMAP syncs your emails across multiple devices, ensuring you don’t lose important messages when switching devices.
Troubleshooting:
- Incorrect username or password – Make sure your email credentials are correct.
- Cannot connect to server – Check that the incoming server (mail.34sp.com) and outgoing server (smtp.34sp.com) addresses are correct.
- SSL/TLS errors – Verify that all security options are enabled.
Conclusion:
By following the above-mentioned steps, you will have your email account fully configured in Windows 11 Mail. You can now send and receive emails seamlessly, stay organised, and manage multiple accounts from a single app.
