Infrastructure & Digital Services-managed computers are pre-configured with Outlook. These instructions only apply to BYOD computers, and assume you already have Microsoft 365 (with Outlook) installed. To install Microsoft 365, see: How do I download and install Microsoft 365 Apps? (Mac)

These instructions assume you have already installed Microsoft 365 on your Mac computer and have an active internet connection.

1. Open Outlook by selecting Applications > Microsoft Outlook.
   
   
   
   
2. If this is the first time you've opened Outlook, the “Set Up Your Email” window will open automatically. If prompted, choose a look and feel for Office (Colourful or Classic), then Continue. Skip to Step 5 to continue adding your account.
   
   
3. If you have previously opened Outlook, select Outlook > Settings > Accounts.
   
   
   
   
4. Click the Add Email Account button in the Accounts window.
   
   
5. Enter your Deakin email address, then click Continue.
   
   Your Deakin email address will differ depending on whether you're a student or staff member. Your email address should look something like the following:

   Student: username@deakin.edu.au
   Staff: firstname.lastname@deakin.edu.au
   
   
   
   

6. After a few moments, enter your Deakin password and click Sign in.
   
   
   
   
7. Complete Multi-Factor Authentication.
8. After a few moments, your account will be added. Click Done to start working with Outlook or Add Another Account to setup another email address.
   
   
   
   
9. Close Settings, if it was open.

The configuration is now complete. Your email and other Exchange data will start downloading.
