Outlook


This guide is provided to help you configure Microsoft Outlook to access the email, address book and calendar services offered by USA Boxmail.

Once properly configured, your e-mails, address books, and calendars in Webmail will always be in sync with Microsoft Outlook. New contacts or events created in Webmail will also be visible on Outlook and vice versa.

Note

If you need to set up your email account using Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync, go to related guide.

Essentials

Compatibility

There are no minimum requirements for using Outlook exclusively as an email client configured in POP/IMAP and SMTP. To access calendars and address book on Outlook, we recommend using Outlook 2016 version or later. Furthermore, the CalDAV Synchronizer plugin must be updated to the latest version.

Note:  Access to the Address Book and Calendar sharing services is only available for domains with a Boxmail Professional or Boxmail Enterprise plan.

Email configuration

To configure the USA Boxmail email account, you need to use the POP or IMAP protocols for receiving incoming email, and SMTP for sending outgoing email.

In the screen that will open, you need to configure parameters as shown below:

Incoming mail

Outgoing mail

Once the parameters are set, confirm by clicking on the Next button.

 

Calendar and Address Book configuration

To enable synchronization and share feature of the address book and calendar on the USA Boxmail platform, you need to install the Outlook plugin provided through the link in the Essential section on this page.

Once the plugin has been downloaded, unzip the zip file, double-click on the Setup file in the folder and complete the installation procedure. At the end of the procedure, you need to open Outlook or restart the program, if it was open already.

After restarting Outlook, you need to follow the next steps:

Once this is done, a window will appear asking you to fill in the fields related to the configuration of the connection to the USA Boxmail platform.

After these fields are completed, search for calendars and address books on the server by clicking on Discover resources and assign to Outlook folders.

In the window that will open on the screen, it will be possible to choose or create folders where you can save the contacts/calendars found by the plugin. To do this, click on the Other icon moreIcon corresponding to each resource found. If new folders are created, you must make sure that the folder content is correct (Calendar-type or contact-type elements).

Once the folders' configuration is finished, you can specify the interval (in minutes) for automatic synchronization of your resources (basic synchronization is set at 30 minutes), and other preferences. Confirm by clicking on the Ok button.
